Design and construction of floor heating: three key points

Floor heating is a comfortable and energy-saving heating method, which is favored by people more and more. But the design and construction of floor heating need to pay attention to many details, otherwise it may lead to poor heating effect. This paper will introduce three key points in the design and construction of floor heating to help readers better understand the realization and maintenance of floor heating.

Design of water separator

The design of floor heating water separator needs to accurately plan the number and location of roads according to the actual heating area and heat load. The wrong design of the water separator may lead to hydraulic imbalance, leading to overheating in some rooms and supercooling in others. Therefore, it is very important to choose a professional and reliable designer.

Backfill layer thickness

The backfill layer of floor heating plays a key role in providing heat storage function. Correct batching and construction methods are the key to ensure that the standard thickness of backfill layer does not exceed 4 cm (including floor tiles). Too thick backfill layer may affect the floor heating temperature, so please closely monitor the accuracy of the construction team.

Floor decoration material

It is very important to choose suitable floor heating materials. According to the order of thermal conductivity from high to low, it is recommended to use floor tile, composite floor and solid wood floor. Try not to use pure solid wood floor, because its low thermal conductivity may lead to a temperature difference of 5- 10 degrees compared with floor tiles.
