Underfloor heating is the most common form of surface heating . It uses the phenomenon of heat radiation. The surface emits them both to the air and to the walls and ceiling. Two methods of heat distribution - convection and radiation - complement each other and result in an ideal temperature distribution in the room. Get to know the most important elements of underfloor heating and discover the advantages of Purmo underfloor heating pipes !

Advantages of the underfloor heating system
What are the advantages of water underfloor heating systems over other types of heating installations? Their advantages can be multiplied. First of all, they ensure optimal thermal comfort. Rooms heated in this way are characterized by an increased floor temperature, as a result of which the user feels warm at the level of the feet and a pleasant coolness around the head. Underfloor heating is also an economical solution. It operates at much lower temperatures of the heating medium than traditional central heating installations. Energy savings are possible, among other things, by using latent heat in efficient condensing boilers. The underfloor heating system allows for unlimited home arrangement possibilities because the entire installation is located under the floor. This solution also results in significantly reduced air circulation, which is good news for allergy sufferers. In a traditional system, the difference between the temperature of the air and the radiator reaches up to several dozen degrees, which results in increased air movement and dust collecting and baking on the heating surfaces.
Underfloor heating is such a versatile system that it can be used in both single-family houses and public buildings. It guarantees thermal comfort in buildings such as churches, shops and sports halls. A traditional heating system in a high room of this type would cause heat to escape upwards, which would mean unnecessary costs. A heated floor is also great for open spaces, where it prevents ice and snow from accumulating, as well as in museums and art galleries, where aesthetics are most important.

It is worth noting that the surface heating system can also be used to reduce the temperature in the room in the summer. A necessary condition is to use, for example, a reversible heat pump. Its energy consumption is much lower than in traditional air conditioning. Moreover, cooling is obtained without the noise and cold air blowing typical of air conditioners.

Which pipes are suitable for underfloor heating?
PexPenta pipe by Purmo - characteristics and applications
Purmo PexPenta pipes have been designed with the reliability of every underfloor heating installation in mind. They are made in accordance with the most demanding quality standards. These are pipes with a completely covered oxygen barrier, manufactured by pressing five layers simultaneously. Quality control precisely monitors individual pipe dimensions using a laser and ultrasound, and helium permeability testing guarantees that the pipe wall is 100% tight. The electron beam cross-linking stage changes the molecular structure and makes the pipes resistant to high temperatures up to 90 o C and have a service life of at least 50 years, while maintaining flexibility and ease of installation.

Objektline PE-RT pipe - characteristics and application
Objektline PE-RT pipes intended for water underfloor heating are characterized by high temperature resistance (up to 70 ° C), durability, flexibility and ease of installation. The same technology is used in their production process as in the case of PexPenta pipes. Thanks to it, the anti-diffusion barrier is located in the middle of the wall, which translates into minimizing the risk of damage and penetration of oxygen, which is a threat to every heating installation.
PE-RT/Al/PE-RT multilayer pipe - characteristics and application
Multilayer pipes with an aluminum insert combine the advantages of steel and plastic pipes. They are characterized by 5 times lower thermal expansion, resistance to high temperatures up to 90 o C, pressure up to 10 bar and resistance to corrosion and fouling. They are neutral to drinking water and do not affect its smell and taste. They are perfect for underfloor heating systems, central heating and cold and hot tap water. The aluminum layer additionally ensures 100% tightness against oxygen diffusion through the wall and allows them to maintain their shape. In the process of joining the aluminum jacket with polyethylene layers, a special glue is used, which permanently binds them together and protects against delamination.
Underfloor heating - characteristics of protective cabinets for manifolds
The Purmo brand range also includes protective cabinets for Purmo manifolds - essential elements of every underfloor heating system. They are assembled and ready for assembly. They are available in both recessed and surface-mounted versions, as well as in a dry construction version. They are made of high-quality galvanized sheet metal. All cabinets have doors with an installed lock.
