Underfloor heating: comfort and efficiency in the air conditioning of your home

Underfloor heating systems base their operation on a network of plastic pipes that, installed under the floor, allow the circulation of hot or cold water throughout the surface, causing heat or coolness to radiate from the floor in a homogeneous manner.These heating-cooling systems (widely spread in Nordic countries such as Sweden or Denmark) are increasingly used in our country due to the multiple advantages they offer when compared to other systems:

• High performancebecause the flow rate of water to be moved is low because the circuits that transport the water have a small section (typically the diameter is less than 10 mm) and the operating temperature is relatively low (between 30 and 45 degrees).
• Low consumptionas the operating temperature is lower than that of traditional hot water systems with radiators. This consumption can be up to 30% lower than traditional systems.
• Possibility of incorporating renewable energiesto the circuit in order to raise the water temperature to the operating temperature, something that is unthinkable in traditional systems where the water temperature has to be raised to 70 – 80 degrees Celsius but which is perfectly viable for the temperatures at which these systems operate.
• Free design of spacesas it is not necessary to introduce radiators or other elements in the walls that condition the use of the interior volumes.
• Greater feeling of comfortas the ground temperature is slightly higher than the temperature at head height. Additionally, the temperature is virtually uniform throughout the entire house, rather than accumulating near the radiators or on the ceilings as is often the case in systems with radiators.
• Heating is healthierBy not producing air currents that move dust, avoiding excessive dryness of the environment and maintaining low humidity that prevents the proliferation of mites.

In its desire for innovation and with the aim of responding to the demands and concerns of its clients,THERMOCHIPthrows within its rangeTHERMOCHIP HOUSINGsandwich panels for floorsTHERMOCHIP FLOOR PLUS. These panels incorporate an industrialized technical underfloor heating panel, configured specifically for the needs of the project, manufactured ad hoc and longitudinally machined that houses the heating pipe.To the advantages of underfloor heating THERMOCHIP FLOOR PLUS adds other advantages typical of construction with sandwich panels:

• Quick and instantly walkable installation.
• Does not require drying time, as opposed to the long waiting times of classic systems with mortar.
• Height between 2 and 3 cm.
• Quick reaction of heating-cooling to changescompared to the high thermal inertia of traditional systems.
• Very low surface weight(from 3 to 6 kg/m2).
