In the northern part of our country, heating is the most inseparable thing in winter. The frequency of using air conditioning in the south in winter will be more, of course, many people in the south have also installed heating in their homes, after all, there is still a certain gap between the heating and heating of air conditioning.
When it comes to installing heating, underfloor heating has been a smash hit in our country. Compared with traditional radiators, floor heating not only has a better heating effect, but also is more beautiful. But nowadays, the reputation of floor heating is far less than before, and it can even be said that there is a lot of scolding.
When renovating their houses, some residents no longer choose underfloor heating, but choose the previous radiators. So why did the smash hit floor heating usher in such a big word-of-mouth reversal? Is it because of the unacceptable disadvantages of floor heating? Or is it because of whose path is the rise of underfloor heating?
We are no strangers to floor heating, and many people adopt this heating method in their homes. But most people can't say the full name of floor heating, which is radiant ground heating.
In fact, as early as the ancient Roman period in the 60s BC, floor heating appeared in the form of "fire ground" and "fire wall", of course, those who could use floor heating at that time belonged to the aristocracy.
Since then, whether it is the fire kang in the northern region of our country, or the royal family buried the flue in the ground to heat the ground in order to achieve the temperature increase, it belongs to the prototype of floor heating.
It was not until the beginning of the last century that Buckley of the United Kingdom applied for a patent for radiant floor heating, which laid the foundation for the formation of modern floor heating.
In the beginning, metal pipes were mainly made of galvanized and copper, but in addition to the complexity and high cost of installation, these materials are also susceptible to corrosion.
With the change and development of science and technology, the emergence of plastic pipes, aluminum-plastic pipes and other materials has further promoted the development of floor heating.
Until the fifties and sixties of the last century, China has increased research efforts on floor heating technology.
This technology has been applied to the foyer of the Great Hall of the People, and has been used in overseas Chinese hotels, public exhibition halls and other places.
It is precisely because of this that floor heating is becoming more and more famous in our country, and with the continuous improvement of people's living standards, floor heating technology has also entered thousands of households.
In the 21st century, floor heating has been popularized in China, and the country has also issued relevant industry standards.
At the same time, there are many types of floor heating, the most common are water floor heating, electric floor heating and graphene floor heating.
Water underfloor heating has now been fully popularized in northern China, usually using hot water no more than 60 degrees Celsius in the buried heating pipe circulation flow.
By heating the floor, the heat is transferred to the whole room, and finally the purpose of heating is achieved.
Electric underfloor heating, on the other hand, buries the heating cable under the floor, and the upper limit of the temperature is 65 degrees Celsius. The floor temperature is raised by cable heating, and finally the purpose of radiant heating is realized. This technology is more common in the non-central heating areas of southern China, and has become the first choice for winter heating in southern China.
Compared with the first two, graphene floor heating is relatively rare, in fact, the heating film of graphene material is used as a heat source.
When the material is excited by electrical energy, it creates a tunneling effect, which ultimately manifests itself as heat. In addition, graphene is a material with very efficient heat transfer properties, so it is also a very good type of floor heating.
The maturity of floor heating technology means that the cost of use is constantly decreasing, and floor heating is the most comfortable among many heating methods
The temperature is from the bottom up, and the first thing people can feel is the warmth of their feet. And when it comes to the head, the temperature is not so high, so that people will not feel groggy.
At the same time, compared with the traditional "radiator", floor heating is more space-saving and beautiful.
Compared with air conditioning heating, the cost of floor heating is lower and does not produce noise, so floor heating has won the love of most consumers.
However, in recent years, it has been found that many people exclude underfloor heating when choosing a heating method. Why is there such a reversal?
Could it be that underfloor heating has lost its "favor"? Or is the popularity of underfloor heating in anyone's way?
In fact, the reason why many people no longer consider using floor heating is mainly because there are shortcomings of floor heating that are difficult to ignore.
First of all, underfloor heating is not friendly to wooden materials, and the log style is very popular in China, and many people like to buy wooden furniture or lay wooden floors in the bedroom.
It is important to know that wooden materials are very easy to deform at high temperatures, although the temperature cannot be very high when heating.
However, both wood floors and wooden furniture are very close to the floor heating, and in this case, long-term high temperature baking will deform and even crack the surface of these wood products.
Some furniture will also produce harmful gases to the human body in a high temperature environment, which also makes some people stay away from floor heating.
Whether it's for the protection of furniture or personal health, it is natural that floor heating is no longer a favorite.
In addition, compared with traditional radiators, the efficiency of floor heating in raising indoor temperature is lower than that of "radiators" under the same amount.
At this time, some readers will wonder, how can it be said that the efficiency is not as good as that of "radiators" in a house with floor heating, which is obviously higher than that of a house with floor heating?
It is important to know that in the process of heat dissipation in floor heating, the heat must first pass through the cement and floor before the heat is conducted indoors.
The radiator directly transfers heat to the room, and the reason why the floor heating room is warmer is mainly because the amount of floor heating in the same size room is much larger than the amount of radiator installed.
Readers and friends who have floor heating at home know that when they first start heating every year, they need to wait for a long time before the indoor temperature can rise.
Correspondingly, the cost of laying underfloor heating is higher than installing radiators, so people who have this consideration no longer choose underfloor heating.
In addition, the maintenance cost of underfloor heating after installation is much higher than that of other heating methods.
It is important to know that floor heating is laid under the floor, and if there is a problem and needs to be repaired, then the floor can only be removed.
Not only the maintenance cost but also the cost of dismantling, buying and laying bricks, which is very expensive.
In addition, the longer the floor heating is used, the more dust will accumulate inside.
If you don't clean up, the heating effect will be greatly reduced, and many people feel that their heating effect is not as good as before, which is actually caused by this.
However, if you want to clean up the dust and impurities accumulated by the floor heating, you can only ask a professional to clean it up. This is much more expensive and complicated than traditional radiator cleaning.
This is also where people complain about floor heating the most, so some people decide not to use floor heating anymore.
The last reason is that floor heating will also have a certain degree of impact on people's health.
The principle of hot air ballooning is well known, and the hot air will lift up the dust on the ground during the use of underfloor heating. This is also the reason why many people find dust floating in their homes through the sunlight in winter.
When people breathe, they inhale this dust into their bodies, which eventually causes respiratory diseases. In addition, most of the northern regions of our country are drier, and underfloor heating will make the home even drier.
Sometimes when you wake up in the morning, your throat is dry and itchy, especially for the elderly and children who don't go out much in winter.
In addition to the complaints generated by people in the process of using floor heating, the floor heating is no longer "favored", and there are unknown interests behind the scolding, what is going on?
The rise of a new technology is bound to have an impact and challenge on traditional technologies, and floor heating is no exception. With the continuous popularization of floor heating in China, the traditional heating method has ushered in an unprecedented shake. You must know that heating involves thousands of households in our country, and the interests of this market are not small at all.
When the traditional heating method sees the market share being occupied by floor heating, the heart will naturally not be reconciled.
So these manufacturers grasp the problems of underfloor heating and amplify these problems to the public. Among them, there are some unconfirmed negative news, and the judgment of the most loyal public on floor heating is biased.
In addition to these traditional heating equipment manufacturers, some real estate developers are also very unhappy with floor heating.
Because compared with traditional heating methods, the construction cost of floor heating is higher. This will lead to an increase in the construction cost of real estate developers when developing properties.
Those real estate developers who pursue profit maximization are naturally more willing to promote low-cost heating methods for their own interests. Therefore, in the process of publicity, these people are also trying all kinds of ways to slander the heating method of floor heating, which ultimately affects people's choice.
In addition, the policy continues to emphasize energy conservation and emission reduction, and floor heating is a high-energy heating method.
Therefore, the policy support for floor heating in the general environment will be less and less, and the entire industry is facing a more severe impact.
Under the influence of many factors, people's judgment of floor heating will be affected. When choosing a heating method, I don't know which one I should choose. Especially in the case of unequal information, the pressure of decision-making has never been greater.
In fact, when people choose a heating method, the most important thing they need to pay attention to is not to be affected by unilateral information.
Instead, learn from many friends around you, and choose the most suitable heating method for yourself based on your own situation. The recommendations of others are so fanciful that in the end it is not as comfortable as experiencing it yourself.
All in all, there are indeed a lot of controversies about floor heating nowadays, and what we can do is to keep a clear mind and choose the right one for you. So which heating method will readers and friends choose? Welcome to like and leave a message!
