Home renovation can be a complex and time-consuming process, often filled with misunderstandings and mistakes. One of the most common areas where confusion arises is in floor heating systems. Many people are unaware of the potential flaws, which can lead to issues with contractors or poor installation. To help you avoid these problems, Jiuzheng Building Materials Network has compiled six common misconceptions about floor heating, so you can make informed decisions during your renovation.
**1. Floor Heating Will Definitely Increase the Floor Load**
Some residential communities worry that installing floor heating will add too much weight to the structure, leading to restrictions on its use. However, modern ultra-thin floor heating systems don’t require cement pouring, meaning they won’t significantly increase the load on your floor. This makes them a safe and practical option for many homes.
**2. Floor Heating Will Take Up Floor Height**
Many homeowners in China are concerned about the height of their living space. The main issue when discussing floor heating with clients is often how much it will reduce ceiling height. But the thinnest floor heating systems are only 12mm thick, making their impact on floor height almost negligible.
**3. Floor Heating Pipes Will Clog**
With independent heating systems using wall-mounted boilers, the water in the floor heating circuit is sealed and doesn't need frequent replacement. Therefore, clogging is not a common problem. However, if the system is connected to central heating, there may be a risk due to pipe corrosion over time. In such cases, adding a filter during installation can prevent this issue effectively.
**4. Floor Heating Pipes Will Make Noise and Disturb Neighbors Below**
The water inside the floor heating system is closed and free of air, so it operates quietly without making any noise. In fact, floor heating can even help improve sound insulation in a home.
**5. Water Leakage Is a Major Concern**
High-quality floor heating pipes can last longer than the building itself. If a problem occurs, you can contact the installation company or manufacturer for support. While leaks can be a concern, modern systems are designed to be durable and reliable. If a leak happens, it's usually possible to locate and fix the issue without completely dismantling the floor.
Additionally, if you have a gas boiler, the amount of water in the system is minimal—only up to 2.16 liters in ultra-thin models—so the risk of major flooding is very low.
**6. Floor Heating Is Also Needed Under Furniture Legs**
A homeowner recently reported that after just six months of renovation, the bedroom floor began to deform. Upon inspection, it was found that the bed had no legs, and the entire bed was in direct contact with the floor. This blocked the heat circulation underneath the bed, causing uneven heating and damage over time.
Experts advise that if your floor is heated, avoid placing furniture with no legs directly on the surface. Since floor heating works by circulating warm air from the bottom up, blocking this airflow can reduce efficiency and cause overheating. It’s best to leave enough space under furniture or use legged designs to ensure proper heat distribution.
By understanding these common myths and misconceptions, you can make smarter choices during your home renovation and enjoy the benefits of a comfortable, efficient floor heating system.
