Geothermal heating is getting into a trend expert advise to be specialized geothermal floor

Geothermal heating is becoming increasingly popular, but experts advise consumers, geothermal heating cannot use normal floor, but instead use the specialized geothermal floor.

Normal floor heating will deform. Concerned experts explain, geothermal heating, also known as "low-temperature heating": is located under the floor heating pipe, usually aluminum models duplex tube or conductive tube: floor heating: and then evenly to the indoor thermal radiation heating effect. Most of the floors on the market today, such as 12 mm-18 mm thick solid wood flooring, Bamboo flooring, parquet and thickness exceeding 8 mm wood flooring is not suitable for floor heating system: otherwise they will all have an impact on the thermal conduction or result in the floor.

For experts: special geothermal floor must meet stringent requirements.

Material density to high bonding strength within. Material to use dense trees made of wood: thermal stability: can guarantee the long-term no cracking at a high temperature, no distortion. Thickness swelling to less than or equal to 2.5%: reach the national standard for excellence.

Formaldehyde emission. Because the higher the temperature: formaldehyde emission more: relatively closed in the winter indoor use: more likely to be exceeded. Heat transfer coefficient should be fulfilled. Currently: there are experimental Research Institute, Korea building materials KOLAS international inspection agencies to provide heat conduction coefficient approved: consumers can make before purchasing.

Experts also remind that specialist geothermal floor installation standards relative higher: best by providing professional installation of the floor. Consumers in the use process is also necessary to strictly abide by certain rules. For example, after 24 hours of completion of the installation in order to gradually warming: warming up prior to maintain surface clean drying: to prevent excessive due to heating the floor has distorted the cracking. First time use or long-term use of geothermal heating unopened: you should set the low temperature: and then slowly warming: best warming of 1 ° c per hour around: the wood flooring gradually adapt temperature increase. If heating too fast: can cause wood floor heating too quickly: produce unstable distort effect change: cracking wood floor service life. In geothermal heating wood floor as far as possible without fixed assorted items or places no legs of furniture: in case of partial heat does not open.
