the four major properties of heat flooring to be concerned about

Because geothermal heating in line with the human body “feet warm head cold” in nature, and the abolition of geothermal heating in the room heating pipes and radiators, more conducive to living room, decorated with a gorgeous, so more and more sought after receipt of the people. Frequent consumer complaints, on the floor shop owner questioned, “You can not do this to strengthen the floor geothermal?” Nearly all of the owner or salesperson all confirm that “can, no problem”, but wait until the installation, and before it is too late.

1, thermal conductivity and heat retention

Geothermal heat the floor request as quickly as possible, the more insulation the better. The same material, the slower the thicker heat (but very warm), the thinner the quicker the heat (insulation terrible). Of course, we first thermal conductivity value (taking into account insulation), to strengthen the floor thickness of common 6mm, 8mm, 8.3mm, 11mm, 12mm, so we propose to 8mm, the thickness of laminate flooring produced from a far the most mature technology, of course, we do not object that the The Laminate Flooring 12mm Jiaogan excellent.

Wood and bamboo are excellent natural materials, ground heat transfer through the floor to the surface, there must be heat loss, the ideal flooring can minimize these losses. Therefore, in order to reduce heat loss and reduce the heating operation and maintenance expenses, on the ground floor heating must “choose not vote thick thin.” Optional multi-layer solid wood, bamboo flooring and laminate flooring, thickness of not more than 8 mm, maximum can not exceed 10 mm.

Second, environmental protection index (formaldehyde content)

Geothermal Flooring goal is to minimize the formaldehyde content required, the less the more environmentally friendly. The same material, thicker formaldehyde content in the more thin-formaldehyde content less. You can imagine the floor inside the substrate in the heating state of formaldehyde than certainly do not use geothermal quicker when the evaporation, the winter home, a 24-hour window is essentially closed, then it need to be considered an vital question: indoor air quality , the density of formaldehyde in indoor air.

Geothermal thicker the floor in the use of geothermal process, the formaldehyde content in indoor air certainly more and more of the increasing influence of indoor air quality, human health effects is also growing. Do we all need to use the kind of high-quality Japanese white charcoal paint to absorb and decompose formaldehyde do indoors? Will undoubtedly increase, as the owners of the renovation costs, after all, white charcoal coating is a high consumption of high-level environmental protection coating, not suitable for ordinary consumers, economic conditions.

Integrated use of composite flooring adhesives, adhesive subject to environmental protection, bonding strength, high temperature and humidity aging of these three indicators. Especially in terms of geothermal floor, to go through resistance to high humidity resistance, low temperature experiment, if we adopt the common glue, environmental indicators, resistant to moisture resistance, aging, swelling Dengjun not compliance. Therefore, when consumers choose to view the merchant’s product report, inspection report is very necessary.

3, Stability

The use of geothermal floor complex environment, especially in the northern region, non-heating season on the ground to bear a variety of moisture, while the heating again when the surface temperature suddenly rise, the floor must withstand “hot”, “humidity” in a double change. Therefore, geothermal stability of the floor must be a excellent buy materials, such as reinforced flooring, multi-layer solid wood flooring, bamboo flooring the integration of composite flooring.

More stable as possible, on the ground floor heating is not deformed. Geothermal can not use half of, stability, there will be a terrible floor deformation, a small careful, it is simple to see it.

4, wear resistance

Due to heat the floor should thin not thick, so the composite surface layer generally 0.3-0.6 mm is better. The main surface paint wear higher values than the traditional indicators. Also pay attention to the quality of the floor, “one-third of the floor, seven parts to install” and professionally installed heating floor higher standard, it is best to provide professional installation by the manufacturer to avoid the self-installation by the construction team.
