Preface
I don't know if you still remember that in the nineties of the last century, the "smash hit" floor heating can be described as one of the necessary winter artifacts for every household, but now it is rarely seen, directly from the "fragrant dumpling" to no one cares about the product.
So in just a few decades, why is floor heating "lonely"?
Warmth Shrine
For northerners, the most indispensable thing in winter may be the heating artifact, in order to be able to make themselves and their families less cold in winter, everyone will think of many ways.
In the past, the most common way to heat the village in the north and south was to use a brazier, which burned charcoal instead of coal, and every winter, the adults in the family would go to the mountains to find such charcoal to burn. But the real northerners are basically burning ondols.
In addition, many families will also install a stove in their home, this stove can not only cook, but also has a good heating effect, when not cooking, people usually put a pot of water on the stove, and can also bake steamed buns and sweet potatoes.
There are kittens and dogs in the house should know, they are also afraid of cold in winter, will stick to the stove to keep warm, sometimes accidentally fall asleep, when you wake up will find that your hair is burned off a lot, although the stove can make the home very warm, but it is a little unsafe.
If you have children at home, you should also prevent them from being burned by the fire, and you should also be very careful when using it, as a careless accident may lead to gas poisoning, which is still very dangerous. Heating equipment is a rigid need in winter, so many businesses see business opportunities and invent a lot of heating equipment, the most popular of which is floor heating.
Underfloor heating
Floor heating is not a novel invention, its history can be traced back to the ancient Roman period, when the Romans used underground hot water or steam, through the air layer under the floor to bring warmth to the room, and then the technology of floor heating gradually developed and improved, was widely used in Europe, North America, Japan and other regions, became a very common heating method.
The popularity of floor heating in China is mainly in the nineties of the last century, when people's living standards and economy continue to improve, and people's requirements for the living environment are getting higher and higher.
Therefore, when decorating the home, the first thing people think of is floor heating to ensure that they can be well kept warm in winter, but with the passage of time, people gradually discard this heating equipment and choose a more advanced heating method. So why is this happening? Don't worry, let's take a look at the advantages and disadvantages of floor heating.
Doesn't take up space
The reason why floor heating will become a hot product in the nineties of the last century, a large part of it depends on its advantages, first of all, the installation of floor heating people, generally live in the community building, so the space at home is limited.
The floor heating is installed underground, so it does not occupy the space in the house, not only warm, but also very beautiful, because it is spread underground, so the distribution is very even, the heating is turned on, the whole house will feel warm.
It is also warm when the feet are on the floor, and as we all know, the soles of the feet have a lot of nerves that lead to various parts of our body, so as long as the feet are warm, then the whole body generally does not feel cold.
The heating effect is good
Floor heating also has the advantage of being used for a long time, up to decades, and generally does not need to be repaired, because there will be no noise when used underneath, it is dissipated through the heat radiation of the entire ground, so that the temperature in the house is raised from bottom to top.
Floor heating compared to radiators, the heating effect will be better, the most obvious embodiment is that the temperature in our room is higher, I don't know if you have compared such a situation, the same is a central heating family, the temperature of floor heating and radiators is different.
Of course, no matter what it is, it has pros and cons, floor heating is no exception, now ask about the installation of heating, in the end generally choose more radiators, may not be able to understand many people, we also said above compared with the two, floor heating will be hotter, so why do so many people choose radiators?
Maintenance
Among them, there are several reasons, the most important of which is that the maintenance of floor heating is too difficult, although the probability of floor heating failure is very small, but there will still be damage.
Especially when we change the floor heating, the floor heating is not backfilled in time after the floor heating is paved, which may lead to the destruction of the floor heating, and when decorating, the ground is chiseled and holed, which may damage the heating pipe.
Again, compared with traditional radiators and other heating equipment, the installation cost of floor heating is higher, mainly because the ground needs to be transformed and reinforced, as well as the installation of heating pipes, which require manpower, material and financial resources, so the installation cost is higher.
When installing, it is time-consuming and laborious, and it is necessary to lay pipes or heating wires under the floor, and then cover the floor, which will increase the thickness of the floor, and will also affect the quality of the floor.
High energy consumption
Although underfloor heating can be warm, its energy consumption is very high, because underfloor heating needs to transfer heat through the ground to the room, so it needs to consume more energy to achieve the same effect as traditional radiators, and at the same time, underfloor heating needs to be preheated and takes a long time, which also increases energy consumption.
In order not to let the heat come down, you have to keep turning on the floor heating, otherwise it will heat very slowly after turning it off, of course, there are some people who report that they have installed floor heating in their homes, but it is still not warm enough, this situation may be because the hydraulic system is not well circulated.
Due to the uneven distribution of the circuit in the floor heating system, the diameter of the circuit in some rooms is tens of meters, and some rooms even exceed 100 meters, resulting in hydraulic imbalance, so that the temperature of some rooms drops, if this happens, we can adjust the valve to make the temperature in the room reach a balance point.
Occupancy floor height
Floor heating also has a disadvantage that it will occupy the height of the floor, the traditional floor heating it should be at the bottom of the insulation board, and then the reflective film, steel mesh, floor heating pipes, and then add a layer of steel mesh, and finally fill.
These steps are completed step by step from the lowest floor, at least occupying a height of nearly 10 cm, reducing the net height of the room, and the height may be depressing, so many people give up floor heating and choose radiators for this reason.
Discredit?
But some people say that in fact, floor heating is not so unbearable, these negative voices about floor heating are deliberately slandered by some people with interests, in order to hit the market share of floor heating, so as to seek sales for their own products, but these statements have no practical basis.
After all, the underfloor heating market is a big pie, and it involves many stakeholders, including manufacturers, installers, repairers, and other heating competitors, such as air conditioners, electric heating, and gas.
There is fierce competition between these stakeholders, and in order to seek profits, they may resort to some unfair means, such as spreading rumors, misleading consumers, and even secretly sabotaging and attacking.
Some time ago, someone posted a paragraph about floor heating, which caused widespread concern and concern, the article said: There are six major harms of floor heating, it is very likely to cause childhood leukemia and cancer, and even lead to infertility and fetal malformations.
But these are just our conjectures, the good or bad of floor heating has to be the consumer's final say, you think it is the best to use it, what others say is useless.
