Pros and cons of underfloor heating in the apartment! In what premises is it needed?

Warm floors are comfortable and cozy. Especially in cool rooms and in apartments with small children. Warm floors are loved by people and are very popular. Of course, like any other technology, warm floors have advantages and disadvantages. In addition, there are recommendations in which rooms they should be installed and in which not. I'll tell you about all this in more detail.

Which rooms need underfloor heating, and which do not?

An important rule for installing a warm floor is that it is relevant in rooms where people are. In empty, impassable rooms, he will not justify himself.

1. Warm floors are not recommended to be installed in bedrooms, because they make the air drier, which negatively affects human health. Still, in the bedrooms it is better to lay carpets or rugs. This is probably the only "contraindication" for choosing a room for installing a warm floor.

2. Underfloor heating will be an excellent addition to rooms with high humidity: bathroom and toilet. And how nice it is to get out of the shower and step on the warm floor with bare feet.

3. The warm floor will perfectly fit into the rooms where we spend a lot of time - the kitchen, living room, playroom. Such floors will create comfort. And in the children's play area, the warm floor will provide the child with suitable conditions for playing on the floor.

4. In the corridor and hallway, the warm floor will draw cool air from the street. In addition, warm floors will dry your shoes after a walk in rainy weather.

5. Heated floors should be installed on balconies and loggias only if they are frequently visited or connected to neighboring rooms.

Advantages of a warm floor:

1. Comfort, warmth and health care.

2. Even distribution of heat throughout the room.

3. Energy efficiency, economy, financial benefit.

4. Aesthetic appearance that hides all tubes.

5. No problems in operation and maintenance.

6. Any coolant can be used as the basis for the design.

7. Warm floors can be covered with any floor covering. The only exceptions are some types of topcoats. Before combining a floor covering with a warm floor, study the characteristics and read the instructions.

Disadvantages of underfloor heating:

1. Volatility. If there are frequent fluctuations in electricity in your village, then a warm floor should be installed only if there are additional generators.

2. The further the pipe is from the heat source, the cooler it will be. Farther rooms may not be well heated. We'll have to mount radiators or panel heating by installing pipes into the walls.

In my opinion, the shortcomings are minor and easily fixable. Install warm floors in your apartment and enjoy the comfort and beauty.
