In this era of pursuing the ultimate quality of life, our living environment has become the focus of our attention. Are you still yearning for that kind of down-to-earth, feel the warm atmosphere of home life? Floor heating, once as a synonym for warm home, once became the object of countless families. However, the reality is always a big surprise. In the past two days, I chatted with a few friends in the industry and talked about those things about floor heating. When they told me why the rich don't have floor heating in their homes now, I regretted it a little - it turned out that my perception of floor heating was still stuck in the past. Why don't rich people install underfloor heating in their homes? The doorway here is actually not complicated, but it is enough to make people reflect. Walking into the homes of the rich, you may find that the once indispensable underfloor heating has now quietly retired. First of all, the presence of underfloor heating will reduce the floor height of the house. It may not sound like a big deal, but for wealthy people who are looking for comfort and plenty of space, it's something they can't compromise. Installing underfloor heating requires plumbing and cement and sand, which further shrinks the already modest indoor space.
The living experience naturally plummets, and the oppressive feeling may not be able to be experienced by you and me, but it is undoubtedly a fatal blow for those who are Xi to spacious spaces. Secondly, the construction process of floor heating is complex and the fault tolerance rate is extremely low. Imagine that for a floor heating system, you need to level the floor first, and then go through a series of processes such as coiling, fixing, and backfilling. This is not only a drain of time and money, but also a great test of patience and care. For those modern people who live fast-paced and efficiency-seeking lives, this is tantamount to torturing themselves. And once there is any error in the construction process, the subsequent use and maintenance will become a continuous headache. And you may not realize that the comfort of underfloor heating is not as high as you think. In the mainland, except for the northern region, which can achieve 24-hour heating, the floor heating system in other places often takes 2-3 hours to gradually heat up. In this long waiting process, where is the comfort? Is the electricity bill invisibly soaring? And when the northern region is already covered by central heating, and the southern region does not really need floor heating due to climate reasons, this former home darling seems to have really become a thing of the past.
In this era, the comfort and beauty of the home have become a yardstick for people to measure the quality of life. Floor heating has slowly withdrawn from the stage due to its many inherent problems, but those who pursue the ultimate life have not stopped. They are exploring new ways to heat the house, perhaps a smarter centralized disease supply system, or a new type of equipment that is more environmentally friendly and energy-saving. Yes, underfloor heating may still be warm, but the problems and hidden dangers it brings make people have to re-examine. And I also deeply realize that sometimes following the trend does not mean that you have chosen the right direction. When we are decorating a house, in addition to considering beauty and fashion, we should pay more attention to practicality and future life experience. Here, I would like to say that you might as well slow down, feel and compare different heating methods for yourself, and find the one that is most suitable for your home life. After all, home is our haven, and every inch of its warmth and comfort is the result of our careful creation. Don't be in a hurry to follow the trend, and don't blindly regret it, your ideal home life is worth choosing and creating with your heart.
When the gentle warm air is no longer the patent of winter, people began to look for a more comfortable and efficient way to heat, the floor heating system has become the darling of modern home life because of its unique comfort and overall aesthetics. However, with the passage of time and the evolution of technology, the floor heating system has gradually exposed some unknown flaws. First of all, let's talk about the installation process of underfloor heating. Compared with traditional heating equipment, the construction of underfloor heating is undoubtedly much more complicated. It's not just about laying a few pipes, it's about accurate room area measurements, complex piping designs, and a technically demanding installation process. Due to the high technical content and labor intensity, the labor cost will naturally rise. In addition, the cost of materials swells with the increase in the size of the room, all of which silently reveals a message: underfloor heating may not be affordable for every family. However, the high cost of installation is only the beginning, and the repair and maintenance of the underfloor heating system will be a long-term financial burden. Unlike radiators, once there is a problem with underfloor heating, repairing it is as complicated as surgery.
If the pipeline is leaking, it involves removing the floor, finding the leak point, repairing it, and then replacing it with the floor, which is not only time-consuming, labor-intensive, but also expensive. Moreover, after repair, the floor may leave traces that can affect the aesthetics of the home. What's even more troublesome is that the daily maintenance of floor heating is not easy. Imagine that in order to maintain the efficiency and longevity of underfloor heating, you need to clean the pipes regularly, which is tedious and professional, and the slightest mistake can lead to system failure and increase the cost of repairs. Of course, we can't ignore the additional costs that come with using underfloor heating. Every time the underfloor heating is turned on, it will lead to an increase in the consumption of water, electricity, and natural gas. On a cold winter day, such an expense is undoubtedly a lot of money. This seemingly hidden cost, accumulated year after year, may leave many families feeling financial pressure. It is these problems that cannot be ignored that make the once beautiful floor heating system begin to fall out of favor. In cities, more and more people are opting for radiators. Compared to underfloor heating, radiators are much easier to install and maintain, and their balance of efficiency and cost is more acceptable.
Just like myself, I once installed an advanced underfloor heating system in my home, but the inconvenience of using it made me doubt this choice. In retrospect, if I had known an alternative like radiators, I probably wouldn't have chosen underfloor heating. Regret may seem like irreversible to the decision it once made, but at least it can be a piece of advice for friends who are planning to renovate in the future. I'm not here to deny the comfort of underfloor heating and the warmth it once gave us. However, when we choose a home heating system, we need to consider all the factors more deeply. An informed decision should be made after a thorough understanding of all potential costs and maintenance responsibilities.
