Industry focus: domestic heating floor common problems [text]

It is understood that currently falls on heating the prepare phase and the Pro floor selling season, the noise floor hotline, an overwhelming number of warm floors, of which as many consultation!

"My house and heating which floor coverings?" and "floor more thick feet, the better, and the more insulation?" and "foil foam pad is dedicated to heating?" ... Brush the mystery clouds go astray, so that consumers clearly to warm the floor selection and use, as this Association group summarizing the current warm floor consumption in ten misleading, as a warning:

"Those who do are suitable for floor heating floor?"

"You can do with floor heating and floor?" answer: "bear absolutely no problem, a dedicated floor of geothermal energy. "Almost every selling floor are so very positive answer, also took out the user instance, also took out inspection reports, so consumers feel that" those who do are suitable for floor heating floor. "But they don't apply to warm to meet four key elements: warm conductivity, dimensional stability, pollution prevention and environmental protection, and durability. Flooring industry is developing floor standard, four elements and to develop quantitative, floor laying and the warranty of quality inspection specification, the laying and maintenance specifications are also quantified.

"Private name of geothermal floor?"

Current floor circulation market, used in heating the floor, not only a name, but also more confusion: e.g. "thermal floor" and "anti-geothermal floor" and "to heat the floor", called the most is "heating floor" and "to heating the floor" and "heat-resistant floors," "geothermal floor" and "special geothermal floor", we think that the name is not the name of science, there does not appear to be of particular relevance, the current floor radiant heating system, is booming in the early days, the name must be standardized, says: "to warm the floor" which is defined to be suitable for laying of floor radiant heating system, the wooden floor and pass through the Board for the room.

"The more thick, insulating floor?"

The thickness of the wood flooring is to determine whether their feet, so comfortable for many consumers purchase floor, particularly to buy real wood, hardwood flooring or bamboo flooring is required thickness 15-18mm. Thus, in choosing to warm the floor, they also use this method to choose, but they don't realize that wood is a poor conductor, usually wood material thermal conductivity in 0.17-0.34, water 0.5. If the floor thickness is too thick, it is even more detrimental to the heat transmission through floor-to-plate surface, which are consumed in the transmission process. As for thermal insulation, floor temperature difference between up and down a lot, it is very likely to cause distortion of the floor is very large, the "health" "shrinkage" swelling will cause a floor scoop, twist, bend, split, dimensional stability could not be guaranteed (geothermal floor of suitable thickness of 8-12mm).

"Geothermal heating floor size is too wide?"

Now customers can purchase a solid wood flooring is to live comfortably, and second, in order to reveal their identity. So when selects and purchases tend to pick those specifications larger floor, especially width direction, up to the width of the 180mm. Thus, in the daily floor pavement experts would not recommend that users choose to avoid the floor wet expansion shrinkage appears out of joint, not to mention in the floor heating, because the water distributed by faster, is more prone to the phenomenon of floor from the seam. Therefore, experts recommend that consumers purchase geothermal heating floor time try not to purchase the specifications of the floor.

"With aluminium membrane mats is warm floor private?"

This is the most typical misleading. Practice has proved that terrestrial radiation heating systems, heat transfer, primarily radiation, convection, conduction, and finally, if the heat surface and then cover with aluminum foil, forming anti radiation, while maintaining the same warm surface temperature, with aluminium film foam pad their thermal resistance, and ordinary foam pad thermal resistance. Obviously, the ordinary foam pad than the belt aluminum film foam pad their heat better, more conducive to heat conduction from the floor to rooms. Therefore, the user is choosing to warm the floor, you should choose the ordinary foam pad or thermal resistance, resistance to humidity and corrosion resistance, good material cushion to laying.
