December 15th, iFang.com Channel - The technology of underfloor heating was first introduced in developed countries back in the 1930s. In China, it was applied to projects such as the Great Hall of the People and the Overseas Chinese Hotel in the 1950s. Now, this mature technology is being widely used in apartment residences. The editor has found that more and more outsiders are buying homes and settling down in Kunshan. A large proportion of them come from the north, where they are accustomed to central heating. Facing the damp and cold winters of Kunshan, they really struggle. Thus, electric underfloor heating and properties with underfloor heating have brought blessings to these cold-sensitive individuals.

In summary, under the condition of economic affordability, installing underfloor heating in a residence has the following advantages: Firstly, it meets the physiological heating requirements of the human body for comfort, allowing warmth to start from the feet, making people feel warmer and more comfortable; Secondly, it saves indoor area and space by eliminating the need for radiators and heating pipes, increasing usable area by 2% to 3%; Thirdly, it ensures even indoor heating temperatures. After adopting underfloor heating, the room temperature is evenly distributed from bottom to top, reducing air convection, decreasing water evaporation, and overcoming the drawbacks of dry mouth and throat caused by radiator heating; Fourthly, the choice of heat sources is relatively wide, including underground hot water, industrial waste heat, heating networks, and household heat sources; Fifthly, it is energy-saving and cost-effective. Compared with other heating methods, floor radiant heating saves about 20% of energy. If zonal temperature control devices are used, the energy-saving rate can reach up to 40%; Sixthly, it increases the thickness of the floor, and aerated (foam) concrete has good sound absorption properties, providing excellent floor sound insulation.
