: Which method is better to heat indoors in winter? The heating area is definitely the most comfortable!
Because laying floor heating pipes is spread throughout the rooms, and it dissipates heat from bottom to top, which is conducive to blood circulation and has higher comfort, especially suitable for families with elderly and children. Moreover, floor heating can be hidden and laid, which is also highly beautiful.
. The traditional radiator is the indoor air convection that reaches heating and heating, and the generated hot air floats to high places in the room, which will lead to a large indoor temperature difference and a slightly poor comfort. Moreover, it is generally hung on the interior wall, which not only occupies space and affects the beauty, but also is not conducive to the placement of furniture.
However, I don’t know if you have noticed that many people are unwilling to use floor heating when decorating their houses. Even in the northern region, many families are using traditional radiators to heat.
Why is this? , the reason is very simple.
After listening to the analysis of an expert, you will understand. Although floor heating has high comfort, it is also very troublesome to install floor heating in five aspects, and some shortcomings are even unacceptable.
1. High requirements for construction
First of all, you must know that the construction of laying floor heating is relatively complicated and not as simple as traditional radiators. If you plan to install floor heating, you generally need to level the floor, coil , fix, backfilling, etc., and a series of professional construction. Moreover, no matter which environment there is a problem with these projects, it will affect later use.
Secondly, the floor heating system is a hidden project, and all pipes need to be buried underground. Therefore, design and construction should be carried out in the early stage of house decoration, which is more suitable for new houses that have just been renovated. For a house that has been renovated, it is necessary to pry open the floor or ceramic tiles on the floor and then lay pipes, so the installation conditions are subject to certain restrictions.
In addition, the floor heating project is relatively large and the construction period is relatively long, which is more troublesome for those who are anxious to move in. On the other hand, traditional radiators have a high tolerance for installation conditions. Whether it is the renovation of a new house or the upgrading and renovation of an old house, it can be met.
2. Affect the height of the indoor floor
Floor heating system is installed under ceramic tile or floor, and the advantage is that it will not occupy the indoor space area. But the disadvantage is that it will reduce the floor height of the house. Because floor heating pipes will have a certain thickness, and with the thickness of cement and river sand, the height after completion will occupy at least 6 to 8 cm of the room.
This is not very friendly for some low-sized apartments. Especially for some users whose floor height is only 2.6 meters or 7 meters, if the decoration requires a suspended ceiling, it will make the interior of the house more depressing.
So, in order to improve the comfort of living, many people have to give up installing floor heating. Although installing a radiator requires a certain amount of space to hang, it will not occupy the height of the house.
3. The indoor air is dry and the dust is heavy. The floor heating adopts a uniform heating method from bottom to top, with the advantage of high comfort. Because the heat dissipation is even, it will also make the indoor space dry. After staying for a long time, you will inevitably feel dry and feel stuffy. At this time, if there is no humidifier or fresh air system at home, you need to open the window to solve the problem. But if winter comes, the house will become too cold again.
In addition, the heat dissipation characteristics of floor heating are from bottom to top, which also leads to more active dust and bacteria on the ground. The sinking airflow will allow them to float in the space. In addition, the indoor dryness in winter, so it is easy to cause respiratory diseases and dry eye diseases.
Although radiators also have these problems, radiators are a drop airflow and will obviously bring much less dust. Therefore, while laying floor heating at home brings comfort, it will also have adverse effects on the body.
4. Post-maintenance maintenance and maintenance
Installation of floor heating is more troublesome.
The maintenance of floor heating is much more complicated than radiators. Floor heating is not like radiators, but is installed outside. Floor heating is relatively hidden, so if there is a problem, it will be more troublesome to repair it.For example, if the floor heating leaks, the floor tiles will be smashed. If the water leak is serious, it will also cause losses to the downstairs.
In addition, floor heating needs regular maintenance in the later stages. Because the floor heating system is unlike other heating equipment , as long as it is not damaged, it can be used continuously for many years. However, the water floor heating pipes have been used for a long time, and dirt is easily blocked, resulting in the floor heating not being hot.
So you need to regularly clean and maintain the pipeline. The radiator is relatively simple to maintain and is not easy to block. Generally, it will not be affected if it is installed for ten or eight years. In addition, maintenance is also simple. If you want to say that water leaks, just change the pipe fittings.
5. The overall cost is relatively high
First of all, everyone knows that the cost of installing floor heating is relatively high, including pipelines, materials, construction, etc., which usually requires a large amount of money.
Secondly, the natural gas or water and electricity bills that floor heating cost every year are not low. I have also sorted out some of the approximate heating costs of netizens in each area to give you a reference.
floor heating heating costs are as follows: (set temperature 20~22°)
- area: 80-100 square meters, the cost is 700-1200 yuan;
- area: 100-150 square meters, the cost is 1000-1500 yuan;
- area: 150-200 square meters, the cost is 1500-2000 yuan;
- area: 200-300 square meters, the cost is 2000-5000 yuan.
, and after a rough calculation, the heating area of approximately 100 square meters is a cost of about 4,000 yuan per quarter. In addition, the cost of regular maintenance every year is also very high. Generally, the heating area of 100 square meters will cost at least three or four hundred yuan per day.
The summary at the end of the article:
The reason why many people are unwilling to lay floor heating is mainly due to the above five reasons.
However, in my opinion, whether you use floor heating at home or traditional radiators, they have their advantages and disadvantages.
installed floor heating, does not occupy indoor space, and is highly beautiful. Moreover, the biggest feature is uniform heat dissipation and comfortable heating. The obvious disadvantage is that it is high cost and affects the height of the layer. Traditional heating heating has slightly poor heating comfort and cannot walk around at home barefoot in winter. However, the advantage is that the installation conditions are not limited and are convenient for maintenance and maintenance.
So, overall, no matter which heating method is used, it must be decided based on your own budget and actual needs.
