How underfloor heating works

All Best Podcasts

The best option to air-condition a space? does not exist, the most appropriate choice goes hand in hand with the characteristics of the home, needs and demands of each user.
In this case we want to share and make known a very valid and interesting option to air-condition your home, it is underfloor heating , an ideal heating system to work with renewable energies and perfect for designing spaces free of obstacles.

What is underfloor heating?

As its name defines, underfloor heating is a heating system that uses the entire floor as an emission system to transfer heat from the generation system (Boiler, Heat Pump, solar collector...) to the environment of our home. It is a system called slow thermal inertia.

Sometimes it is not possible to use the floor for different reasons such as historical pavements, offices with technical floors, etc. and walls and ceilings are used as the emission system .

How does underfloor heating work?

The basic thermodynamics of underfloor heating is very simple, using hot water that circulates through a pipe, we heat the pavement and a small thickness of mortar to a maximum temperature of 29º Celsius, a temperature defined by current regulations.

This surface releases this thermal energy in a linear and progressive way to the environment, distributing this heat evenly throughout the room.

How is the installation of a radiant floor?

The installation of this heating system is easier and faster than it seems when we hear that many meters of pipe must be placed embedded in the ground. These are the different steps to follow:

1. First, a polyethylene film is placed to insulate the house and prevent the entry of moisture.
2. It is necessary to install a perimeter tape to prevent possible expansion of the floor against the walls.
3. The next layer is Styrofoam, which insulates thermally and serves as a fixing for the pipe that we will place next. Among the most used anchoring systems are lugs, flat panel with staple, self-fixing and specialized systems when there are height problems.

1. The next step is the fixing of the pipe that starts and ends in the collector box.
2. After the entire pipe is laid, it is covered with a layer of mortar.
3. Finally, the user chooses the pavement that he likes the most.

Advantages of underfloor heating

1. The temperature is distributed evenly throughout the environment.
2. There are no hot spots, no drafts or the effect of cold feet.
3. In areas with less humidity, it can be used as cooling.
4. Does not dry out the environment.
5. Ideal system to work with renewable energies.
6. Achieves great energy efficiency.
7. Does not require specific maintenance.
