UNDERFLOOR HEATING AND RADIATOR HEATING - DIFFERENCES, ADVANTAGES

Increasingly, when building a house, there is a dilemma about which heating system to choose - underfloor or radiator? What can induce the investor to choose a particular system? Or maybe a mixed system?

The decision to choose the type of heating for our home can cause quite a headache. The difference in installation costs, differences in operation, comfort, interior design are just some of the several factors that affect our choice.

Many people opt for the now classic solution of radiators. This choice has its advantages, such as the lower cost of making the entire installation. The installation using radiators is also simpler at the installation stage. Radiators heat up quickly so that we can warm up the room faster. There are also several features here to the disadvantage of radiators such as the amount we will pay during operation, which is higher than the amount we will pay with underfloor heating.

On the side of underfloor heating is certainly greater heating efficiency and lower operating costs. Allergic people will also be happy with this choice, as air movement is limited and dust is not baked on the heavily heated elements. With underfloor heating, we experience the greatest comfort, since the higher temperature is near the floor, and the lower temperature is near the head. On the downside - it is slow to heat up and slow to cool down. We need much more time to heat the room than with radiators. Underfloor heating is more expensive and more complicated at the installation stage.

Vertical radiators - aesthetics and space saving

Vertically mounted radiators are a very good solution in smaller interiors. They allow huge space saving and convenient arrangement of furniture. They give the interior a modern look and allow you to choose a different mounting location than the usual under the windowsill. Thus, while fulfilling the heating function, they can become a decorative element of the room. They are constructed of a front panel with vertical embossing or smooth, two profiled panels, without a convection part. The decorative part of the radiators is a flat plate, which gently rounds to the side surfaces of the radiator, creating a uniform, aesthetic whole. They have a bottom centric connection, equipped with a thread of G 1/2 type. The radiators are equipped with a vent, a plug and safety cables.

Another solution can be a mixed system - the use of both radiators and underfloor heating.

There are different variants of combining these two types of heating. We can make a variant with the dominance of underfloor heating, where radiators will only complement the heating system (for example, in bathrooms). A variant with the dominance of radiators, where, in turn, this underfloor heating will be in a small number of rooms, or variants with comparable shares of both systems.
The final choice is up to the user.
