Why did the floor heating, which was once a smash hit , fall out of favor ? The reason is simple,

Now that the new house is renovated, every household will install heating equipment, the purpose is to spend the winter warmly!

When it comes to heating methods, there are many forms at present; Whether it's an air conditioner or a radiator, it's a good choice. Of course, if you want to say that the best comfort, it has to be underfloor heating.

The advantage of underfloor heating is that the heat distribution is reasonable and uniform; The temperature gradually spreads from the foot to the head, and the comfort is excellent. It can be said that it has been favored by many families in recent years.

Moreover, the floor heating pipe is hidden and laid underground, which is more space-saving; The decoration is also aesthetically pleasing, and the placement and layout of the furniture are not affected in any way. Therefore, it once became the standard configuration of many mansions and villas.

But with the passage of time, there are fewer and fewer owners who choose to lay floor heating for decoration; Even families who have installed floor heating regret it and rarely recommend others to install it, what is the reason for this?

Why did the once smash hit floor heating now "fall off the altar" and fall out of favor?

In my opinion, the reason is also very simple. Although underfloor heating is highly comfortable, there are many disadvantages of this heating method. If you also plan to decorate and lay floor heating in your home, you may wish to understand these disadvantages of floor heating before deciding.

The high temperature of underfloor heating is both its advantages and its disadvantages.

Why? We all know that now home decoration is generally based on wooden furniture. However, if the floor heating temperature is too high, it will inevitably cause some damage to the wooden furniture, that is, cracking and deformation will generally occur.

If you don't believe me, listen to itFrom the sharing of Henan netizen @小树, the north is not worthy of solid wood furniture; Originally, there was a small crack in the cabinet, but after the floor heating was opened, the cracking accelerated, and the crack was about to be stuffed into the fingers! Yesterday, it was discovered that the solid wood dining table was also cracked.

And there isNetizen @ Fallen Leaf feedback,After turning on the floor heating at home, I found that many floors were warped at the edges, and some were even broken, so I don't know what to do?

To sum up, it is not difficult for everyone to find that this is also one of the reasons why many families begin to dislike floor heating.

If you lay floor heating at home, it will have a certain impact on the height of the house, which is a hard injury that cannot be avoided.

Because the floor heating itself has a certain thickness of the pipe, after laying on the ground, it also needs mortar, concrete backfill, and leveling the ground, so after the completion of the whole construction, the height of the entire room will be reduced, at least 8-10 cm of floor height must be sacrificed.

If the floor height is 2Houses over 8 meters may not have much impact; However, if it is a low-rise apartment, after the installation of underfloor heating, the net floor height of the whole room may be less than 25 meters, the later living experience will be very depressing.

Although the floor heating pipes are laid underground, they are relatively damaged and need to be repaired. But there are no absolutes, and once something goes wrong, it's very difficult to repair.

Because floor heating, unlike surface-mounted radiators, water leakage will be found in time, and it is more convenient to change pipe fittings. However, the floor heating is complex, and it needs to be repaired by a professional master, and the floor or tiles on the ground need to be pried open in the process, and the maintenance cost is also high.

Let's talk about the maintenance problem, no matter how good the quality of floor heating is, after a few years of use, the pipes inside will also deposit scale and sediment, if you don't use professional equipment to clean, the heating effect will be greatly reduced, and it will also reduce the service life of floor heating. This invisibly adds a lot of costs.

Underfloor heating, another point that is unacceptable, is that the air is too dry, and at the same time, the dust in the home has become very large.

Because the floor heating is turned on, it belongs to the sinking airflow, and in the process of continuous heating, the room will become dry, and the dust and bacteria on the ground are also more active. Too much indoor dust not only increases the amount of daily household chores, but also has a health impact on people's respiratory tracts.

So, you will find out why the older generation is more willing to choose traditional radiators for heating; It is nothing more than to fundamentally put an end to these troubles caused by floor heating.

Floor heating, although comfortable, is more space-saving; But its cost is also quite high. Its cost is not only the wall-hung boiler, insulation board, pipe, water separator, these basic materials, but also the construction cost, which will naturally not be very low.

Take a 100-square-meter house as an example, usually installing water and floor heating, the comprehensive cost is at least about 20,000 or 30,000 yuan. Of course, this ** can only choose domestic wall-hung boilers, if you choose imported brands, condensing furnaces, the cost is even higher than this.

In addition, the monthly gas bill for water and floor heating is also a significant expense. fromChongqing's netizen @奇奇dadShared: My floor heating is about 100 square meters, usually 20 or 21 degrees, an average month, to use about 800 to 1,000 yuan of gas bills, which is really painful.

Some people will ask, will I save money by installing electric floor heating? Zhejiang netizen @一二電電電�Said: My home is electric heating, the area of the suite is 120 square meters, the daily opening is 20-22 degrees, and the electricity bill is 3,000 yuan a month.

Therefore, the reason why many families are reluctant to choose floor heating is mostly because they are forced to give up considering that its comprehensive cost is too high.

To sum up, it is not difficult for everyone to find that although the floor heating is comfortable and the decoration is beautiful, it is more conducive to placing furniture; However, it is also an indisputable fact that floor heating is very damaging to solid wood furniture and is not conducive to maintenance and maintenance. Moreover, the comprehensive cost is also very high, which is several times higher than the installation of radiators.

These real defects eventually led to floor heating, which slowly fell off the altarIt's not welcome. So, finally, I would like to ask you, do you think this way of floor heating is good? What kind of heating do you use in your home?
