1. Which is better, radiator or floor heating?
1, in terms of heating effect
Underfloor heating
Floor heating takes the whole floor as the radiator, evenly heats the whole floor by radiating the heat medium in the floor, and conducts from bottom to top by using the law that the floor itself stores heat and radiates upwards, thus achieving the purpose of heating.
The floor heating system is characterized by reasonable heat distribution, uniform temperature in the same floor of the room, difficult convection of dirty air and good thermal stability.
Traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to the health theory of "warming feet and cooling the roof", so the floor heating of "heating from feet" gives people a high degree of comfortable experience, while keeping the room clean and hygienic, which is beneficial to human health and improving the blood circulation of the whole body.
radiator
Radiators are installed in local areas, mainly in the form of convection, and hot air convection from top to bottom, so the temperature gradient changes, and the closer to the heat source, the higher the temperature. Because the radiator is mainly installed in a lower position indoors, the room temperature will be hot and cold. As the saying goes, cold starts from the feet, people's head is hot and their feet are cold, and the comfort of radiators is relatively poor.
2. In terms of heating speed.
Circulating system and electric floor heating are concealed works, so the temperature rises slowly.
Because the heating cable of electric floor heating is laid in concrete, it is necessary to heat the concrete before heating; Circulating system refers to heating water to a certain temperature, transporting it to the water pipe cooling network under the floor and heating it through the floor.
Therefore, both of them have good heat storage function, which also leads to the lag of the heating effect of the system, that is, it takes a certain time to make the room temperature reach the set temperature after turning on the system, and the indoor temperature will not drop rapidly after turning off the system, which also takes a long time.
Generally speaking, the preheating time of the water heating system is more than 3 hours, and the ground is uniform for at least 4 hours. The preheating time of heating cable is 2~3 hours, and the soaking time is about 4 hours.
The radiator is a surface-mounted project. The radiator is directly exposed to the air, and the temperature rises rapidly. Generally, the heat can be released in ten minutes, and the heating effect can be achieved in half an hour, and the cooling is also fast, which is more suitable for heating in a short time.

3. In terms of installation time.
Floor heating should be installed before house decoration. If floor heating is installed after house decoration, it is necessary to open the floor and lay pipes. It takes a long time because of the huge amount of work, so it is not recommended to install after renovation.
In view of the situation that users want to install floor heating in house decoration, some floor heating manufacturers have designed some new floor heating systems. For example, the heating floor mats in Danvers can be directly installed on the existing floor materials, which is quick and simple.
Radiators can be installed before and after renovation, which takes a short time, and generally the whole project can be completed in one day.
4. In terms of floor space.
Floor heating is a concealed installation, generally installed under the floor, which will not occupy the indoor area, have no noise and will not affect the decoration design of the house.
However, floor heating will occupy a certain amount. According to different systems, the height is about 4~8cm, the electric floor heating is 4~6cm, and the circulation system is 6~8cm.
Therefore, the influence of height should be considered when choosing the floor heating system. If there are strict restrictions on the house, you can also choose to install a heating pad with a height of only 3 ~ 5 mm
Installing a radiator will not affect the floor decoration at home, nor will it occupy it, but installing a radiator will occupy the indoor use area and affect your decoration design.
5. Post-maintenance.
Because floor heating is a concealed project, the system is more complicated and occupies the ground. Once there is a problem, it is more troublesome to maintain.
But if there is no man-made damage, the service life of the floor heating system is very long. Take Danfoss floor heating system as an example, it can guarantee the service life of 50 years, which is equivalent to the service life of buildings and does not need any maintenance.
Because it is installed indoors, it is very convenient to maintain the radiator if there is a problem.

Second, what is the emphasis on installing radiators?
At present, radiators are rich in shapes and colors, which has certain decoration significance at home. However, some people can easily choose the location of radiator when installing.
For the location of the radiator, you should choose a suitable wall, and the best location should be under the wall of a well-ventilated external window. If there are floor-to-ceiling windows at home, install them on the wall between them. As long as it is an external wall, the heating effect is good. The size of the installation is also very particular. When installed, it is more than 250mm from the ground and about 30mm from the wall. Please note that the units here are different. As long as we grasp this distance, it is not good to be too close or too far away, because it will affect the gas flow and heat insulation between the radiator and the wall. Don't install the radiator cover in winter. If it must be provided, carefully select the cover type that will not affect the heat dissipation of the radiator.
There are three kinds of pipe diameters: 4 o'clock, 6 o'clock and 1 inch. The pipe diameter depends on the heating pipe. After the installation location is selected, it needs to be measured by professionals to calculate the number, size and dimension of radiators or groups needed to ensure winter heating.
Which is better, radiator or floor heating? Through the comparison between the above floor heating and radiator, we can see that these two kinds of heating equipment have their own advantages, but in general, floor heating may be more obvious, but you can also choose to buy heating equipment according to your own reality and your family's usage habits and environment.
