1. Definition
What is Floor Heating?
Floor heating, also known as radiant floor heating, involves embedding heating pipes—such as aluminum-plastic composite pipes or heating cables—beneath the floor surface. These systems heat the floor to a temperature ranging from 18°C to 32°C, radiating warmth evenly into the room. This method of heating offers a modern and efficient alternative to traditional heating systems.
Compared to conventional heating methods, floor heating has several distinct advantages:
2. Even Temperature Distribution
With radiant floor heating, the temperature difference within the room is minimal because the entire floor emits heat uniformly. The indoor temperature gradually decreases from the floor upwards, with the ground being warmer than the air at breathing level. This creates a comfortable, warm sensation, especially for the feet.
3. Healthier Indoor Environment
Traditional heating systems often use radiators that release hot air, which can stir up dust and pollutants. In contrast, floor heating minimizes air convection, reducing dust and improving indoor air quality. This results in a cleaner, fresher, and healthier living space.
4. Energy Efficiency
Due to its large surface area, floor heating requires lower water temperatures—typically between 40°C and 50°C. It also reduces heat loss through windows and walls, making it more energy-efficient than conventional heating systems.
5. Space-Saving Design
Since the heating elements are embedded beneath the floor, there's no need for additional space for radiators or heating units. This makes interior design and furniture placement more flexible and convenient.
An innovative type of floor heating is called "water-passing parquet." After years of research and development, Liaoning Jiarong Yao Trading Co., Ltd. has created a "solid wood composite water-passing floor" that combines heating, cooling, and decoration. This product has received three invention patents and three utility model patents from the National Patent Office. It is energy-efficient, environmentally friendly, comfortable, and durable. Its modular design allows for easy assembly, disassembly, and color changes, making it highly versatile.
The solid wood composite water-passing floor uses imported PEX polymer for the internal water pipes, ensuring corrosion resistance and long-term durability. It operates at ultra-low temperatures (28°C to 45°C), making it safe, energy-saving, and eco-friendly. The system is sealed using hot-melt technology to ensure tightness and prevent leaks.
Floor heating is currently one of the most popular and recommended heating solutions worldwide. It is praised for its efficiency in saving energy, materials, and space. It has gained widespread acceptance in Europe, North America, and East Asia. As living standards rise in China, more people are embracing this advanced heating method.
Product Features
Feature 1: Energy Saving
This product operates at low temperatures, requiring only 28°C to 45°C for heating. The small temperature difference between the water and the floor ensures fast and efficient heat transfer. Each room can be individually controlled, and an optional remote control system allows users to manage heating from afar. Compared to other heating methods, it can save up to 30%-50% on heating costs.
Feature 2: Environmental Protection
The product meets national green building standards and is manufactured using eco-friendly technologies. It uses flame-retardant extruded polystyrene boards as a cushion layer, providing sound insulation and thermal efficiency while enhancing comfort.
Feature 3: Unique Design, Durable and High-Grade
With a thickness of only 35mm, this floor saves both construction materials and ceiling height. It is resistant to cracking, moisture, and pests, and has a service life of over 50 years. It is lightweight, durable, and suitable for both residential and commercial use.
Feature 4: Flexible Installation
The product can be installed in various ways, including wall skirts, making it ideal for renovation projects. It integrates heating and aesthetics, offering a wide range of installation options.
Product Advantages
1. Easy to install with no joints required. 2. Modular design allows for easy movement and reinstallation. 3. Three-dimensional decoration enhances the visual appeal of any space. 4. Surface colors can be easily changed for customization. 5. Provides warmth in winter and cooling in summer, improving comfort and reducing energy costs. 6. No water usage during installation. 7. Customizable dimensions to meet individual needs.
Comparison with Traditional Geothermal Systems
Traditional geothermal systems use coiled pipes embedded in cement, increasing floor height and weight. They are prone to heat loss, poor insulation, and difficult maintenance. In contrast, the water-passing floor is lightweight, thin, and energy-efficient. It reduces structural load and improves thermal performance without emitting harmful gases.
Energy Savings with Different Heat Sources
1. Ground source heat pump: Reduces secondary heating, significantly lowering energy costs. 2. Air conditioning: Offers more comfortable and energy-efficient cooling and heating, saving over 30%. In summer, the floor can be cooled by adding ice or using mechanical refrigeration, making it a year-round solution.
