Advantages of floor heating

Underfloor heating is a popular choice for its comfort and warmth, making it a trendy purchase. Do you truly understand underfloor heating? How did you learn about it? From relatives, friends, or a professional shopping guide? Let's explore what you need to know before installing one.

First of all, we must pay special attention to people's experience and even some misleading statements, such as: the thicker the floor heating floor, the better the insulation, the thicker the better the feeling, and the backing of foam pads, plywood, aluminum foil, etc. These statements are actually just misunderstandings passed down by word of mouth. Not only will the above-mentioned benefits not be so great, but they may even affect heat dissipation. In addition to meeting the standard's conventional quality indicators, floor heating floors must also meet many other requirements:

Good stability-small is better than large. Of course, this is a relative standard size; it shouldn't be too narrow or too wide. Because floor heating environments are complex, especially in northern China, the ground is subject to moisture during the off-season and the temperature rises suddenly during heating. Floor heating floors are subject to both temperature and humidity fluctuations, which can easily cause problems. Therefore, it's important to choose flooring that is stable and suitable for underfloor heating environments.

Moisture-proof and heat-resistant-environmentally friendly glue. Solid wood floor heating doesn't require glue, but the paint used must also be environmentally friendly. For composite flooring, adhesives must be both environmentally friendly and possess high bonding strength. Otherwise, excessive formaldehyde levels, corrosion, aging, deformation, and cracking can occur in underfloor heating environments.

Excellent thermal conductivity and heat dissipation-Moderate thickness. While wood is undoubtedly a wonderful natural material, its thermal conductivity is poor, and heat transfer from bottom to top also results in heat loss. To minimize heat loss and ensure excellent thermal conductivity and heat dissipation, choose flooring with an appropriate thickness. Solid wood floor heating is generally 18mm, or 15-20mm thick; laminate flooring is 6-9mm; and engineered wood flooring is generally 12-15mm. Different flooring types require an appropriate thickness.
