In fact, the main way of home heating is floor heating and radiators.
But you will find such a phenomenon, that is, there are fewer and fewer people doing floor heating.
It can be said that floor heating was once a "smash hit" for a period of time.
Actually, it mainly depends on the disadvantages of underfloor heating. After reading these shortcomings, you will not be surprised.
Why did floor heating become a "smash hit"?
Underfloor heating, for a period of time, is indeed very popular.
It can be said that during that time, most of the homes that installed heating were preferred.
Floor heating is to bury the heating pipe of the floor heating under the ground in our room, and realize radiant heating through the hot water circulating internally.
It is precisely because of this characteristic of floor heating that it also determines that floor heating will be a smash hit at the beginning.
Floor heating gives people the feeling that it can be better arranged when decorating.
For home decoration, the first thing we need to do is the water and electricity transformation, and then the hard decoration of the wall and floor roof.
However, there is one point that everyone overlooks. That is, before we do these decorations, we must first do a good job of interior layout, but also interior layout design.
Floor heating does have advantages in terms of interior layout design:
(1) Because the floor heating is buried under the ground, it has no impact on the interior decoration layout. We can arrange our furniture as we wish.
(2) The exposed part of the floor heating is only the collector of the floor heating. Generally, it is hidden and installed in the kitchen or bathroom, and the decoration room can be installed in the cabinet. These also have no effect on the interior layout.
The reason why floor heating became a smash hit in the first place is actually largely due to its more space-saving nature.
The province also depends on the characteristics of the ground heating itself. That is, it is hidden and buried below the ground, with almost no exposed parts.
It is this installation method that saves some of the space in our interior.
Therefore, when we decorate, we can also clearly feel the advantages of floor heating:
(1) Furniture and sofas can be placed against the wall. For example, the sofa in the living room, we put the sofa against the wall. In this way, the space in this location can be used and the indoor space can be saved.
(2) The space under the window sill can also be used. For example, we can install tatami mats along the windowsill or install a desk, which can also save space in this position.
One of the biggest advantages of underfloor heating is its comfort. The comfort level is indeed higher than some other heating methods.
The comfort of floor heating generally includes two aspects: one is the uniformity of the indoor temperature, and the other is the comfort of the feet.
In these two aspects, underfloor heating has advantages over almost all other heating methods.
Because the characteristics of floor heating are radiant heating through indoor floors.
In this process, the heat rises through the ground, and the ground has a certain temperature.
Therefore, underfloor heating has the following advantages in terms of comfort:
(1) The overall temperature of the room is relatively balanced, giving people a more comfortable feeling. There will be no sensations such as hot heads and cold feet, or feeling wind under the legs.
(2) The ground is paved for heating, and the foot feeling is very comfortable. Especially after heating in winter, the floor is very mild. It will feel very comfortable to step on it barefoot.
Compared with radiators, the heating effect of floor heating is indeed better.
The most obvious manifestation of the good heating effect is that the temperature in our room is higher.
I don't know if you have compared this situation, that is, the same central heating family, the installation of radiators and floor heating respectively, its temperature is different.
If it is for self-heating, then this temperature difference will actually bring one point, that is, how much gas is consumed.
So, if we are worried that the heating effect in our home is not very good, it is better to choose underfloor heating.
Because underfloor heating has more advantages than radiators in terms of heating effect:
(1) The heat dissipation is better and the heat dissipation is more uniform. Therefore, for home self-heating, the use of underfloor heating will save more natural gas. Over the course of each year, the amount of natural gas saved is also quite significant.
(2) The indoor temperature is higher. If it is central heating, with the same hot water, you will find that the temperature of the home with floor heating is at least 2~3 °C higher than that of the family with radiators.
Why did the "smash hit" floor heating "fall off the altar"?
Floor heating had so many advantages over radiators that it was also a smash hit at the time.
So, why has floor heating fallen off the altar at this stage?
For this phenomenon, I believe many friends have also seen it.
What we have seen is that now those who consult the installation of heating, and finally choose radiators than underfloor heating.
The reasons for this problem, I personally summarize it and think that it is mainly caused by the following four points.
One of the important reasons why floor heating is being abandoned by more and more families is that the maintenance of floor heating is very difficult.
Although the probability of damage to the floor heating is very small, there will still be this damage.
Especially when we change the floor heating, after the floor heating is laid, there is no timely backfilling, which may cause the destruction of the floor heating pipe.
In addition, in the process of decoration, chiseling and piercing nails on the ground may damage the floor heating pipes.
Regardless of the situation, the destruction of underfloor heating pipes will bring the following problems:
(1) The ground needs to be removed for maintenance. If the floor is tiled, remove all the tiles, then chisel off the backfill concrete, and find the leak to repair
(2) Difficult maintenance and high maintenance costs. When repairing, the ground should be destroyed, which is very troublesome, and it will be restored after the damage, which not only delays time, but also costs a lot of money.
Therefore, many friends are worried that the floor heating will be damaged, so they will hesitate and finally give up choosing to install floor heating.
Compared with radiators, there is another problem with floor heating, that is, its operation is still more troublesome.
Of course, if there is no problem with the floor heating in our home, it does not need to be operated and can be used all the time.
However, once you find that there is a problem with the floor heating in your home, such as the floor heating is not hot, you will find that the operation is more troublesome.
Moreover, due to the relatively thin diameter of the heating pipes, the diameter of the floor heating pipe is generally De20 mm, which also leads to special problems.
Some of the problems that arise will cause headaches for many friends:
(1) The problem of non-heating of floor heating. In particular, the water in one or two circuits of floor heating is not hot, and you will find that we can't do it ourselves.
(2) The problem of blockage of floor heating. If the floor heating is not cleaned for a long time, there are too many impurities, which can easily cause blockage. At this time, you will find that the floor heating at home is not warm, and the room temperature cannot go up.
The performance of these floor heating has also led to more and more friends not daring to choose to install floor heating.
Floor heating, compared with some other heating methods, also has a disadvantage that it will occupy the height of the floor.
Since underfloor heating is installed on the ground, it will more or less occupy the floor height.
For traditional water floor heating, the specific approach is: the bottom layer of the insulation board, then the reflective film, the reinforced mesh, the heating pipe of the floor heating, then the reinforced mesh, and finally the backfill concrete.
All of these steps are done step by step, starting from the bottom layer and layer by layer.
Therefore, the floor heating should occupy at least a height of nearly 10 cm from the beginning of the insulation board to the completion of the backfill layer.
And this occupied height will bring some problems:
(1) Reduce the net height of the room. For example, the original clear height of our room is 2.7 meters, then after laying the floor heating, you will find that it is only 2.6 meters. After the tiles are laid, there may be only 2.55 meters left.
(2) The height of the floor in the building, the installation of floor heating will be subject to certain restrictions. If the clear height of our building itself is only 2.6 meters or 2.65 meters, after the floor heating is laid, it may only be 2.5 meters, or even less than 2.5 meters, which will feel very depressing.
Therefore, to a certain extent, the height of the floor also restricts many families from choosing floor heating, and can only choose radiators.
In fact, although the comfort of floor heating is very high, it will also bring a problem, that is, the problem of dust.
In fact, everyone should have heard of this dust problem, which is the dust layer of floor heating.
Since underfloor heating is emitting heat through the ground, the heat is rising because it is less dense than the air.
Therefore, in the process of rising floor heating heat, a certain amount of dust will be raised.
For this dust, we may not normally see it with the naked eye.
However, after living for a while, you can feel it in two ways:
(1) There is always a layer of dust on the surface of the bedside table or the desk that is often not used. In fact, the dust rises with the hot air and finally settles on the surface of the bedside table or desk.
(2) When sleeping, it is easy to sneeze. In fact, this situation may be caused by dust allergies. Because the dust rises with the hot air, it rises to a height of about 50 centimeters, which is exactly the height of our bed.
Therefore, many friends are worried about the problem of dust caused by floor heating, and finally give up choosing floor heating.

Floor heating, at this stage, there are indeed many friends who are entangled in whether to install it. Eventually, more friends opted for the installed radiators.
In fact, it is not that floor heating is bad, but compared to radiators, there are indeed certain defects in some aspects. And these defects are also what we need to pay special attention to. Eventually, it led to floor heating, and slowly fell off the altar. If you change the heating in your home, will you choose radiators or underfloor heating#文章首发挑战赛? #
