As the two most popular domestic independent heating systems, floor heating is more suitable for large-sized users with higher quality of life requirements. Radiators are more suitable for medium- and small-sized units and ready-to-use office workers. Overall, Both the floor heating and the radiator have different cooling effects. However, there are also many advantages and disadvantages of the two, and there are certain requirements for the type of apartment.

3. The operating cost is relatively low: floor heating This radiant heating method is more efficient than convection heating, and the heat concentration is within the height of the human body; the heat loss in the transmission process is small, and it is about 20% more energy than other heating equipment. Operating costs 20%.
4. Good thermal stability: Due to the large energy storage in the floor and floor heating aluminum foil layer and good thermal stability, it is possible to maintain room temperature stability even under intermittent operating conditions.

The disadvantage of warm floor
1. There are requirements for floor selection: Floor heating materials are suitable for stone or composite flooring with good heat dissipation and insensitive material properties. At present, solid wood flooring is not suitable for ground radiation heating systems.
2. It occupies a certain floor height: the insulation material of the ground radiant heating system, the coil pipe, and the concrete covering the coil pipe are all laid under the ground, so it needs to occupy a certain floor height in the room.
Radiator advantages
1. The temperature rises quickly. A good radiator starts to emit heat for about 10 minutes. It reaches the preset temperature in half an hour. It is ready to use, and it does not have to wait until it saves time.
