How to choose underfloor heating for villa, duplex, self-built houses, etc.
The electric floor heating market is entering a mature development phase, with heating companies growing increasingly sophisticated and robust. The market is gradually evolving into a well-rounded,规模化 landscape. This heating method's rise has added comfort, warmth, environmental friendliness, and a fashionable touch to residential spaces, gaining societal recognition.

Installation procedure for electric underfloor heating:
Before installing electric ground-source heating, test the nominal resistance and insulation resistance of the heating cable.
2. Insulation materials laid on the ground can include heat cable thermal boards. If the ground has high humidity, lay a waterproof membrane first, followed by the insulation material.
3. Applying a layer of reflective aluminum foil over the insulation material can serve as a heat-reflective barrier.
4. A layer of metal mesh is laid over the reflective aluminum foil layer, to prevent the installed thermal cable from being pressed into the insulating material and to enhance the ground's compressive strength.
5. Begin by evenly laying the heating cable segments on the metal mesh according to the pre-designed cable layout, starting from the power terminal, and tie them up every 250mm. Ensure the heating cables do not cross or overlap. Then, cover and encase the heating cable with concrete (approximately 20-30mm thick), followed by the installation of tiles or other floor finishing materials.

Electrical Underfloor Heating Usage Instructions:
1. After the installation of the ground heating system, gradually increase the temperature 24 hours later. Ensure the floor is clean and dry before heating to prevent cracking or warping due to rapid temperature rise.
2. When using radiant heating for the first time or after a long period of non-use, set the temperature low initially and then gradually increase it, about 1℃ per hour is ideal, allowing the wooden floor to gradually acclimate to the temperature rise. Rapid heating may cause the wooden floor to expand and distort, leading to cracking and affecting its lifespan.
3. Avoid fixed decorations or placing furniture without legs on geothermal heated wooden floors to prevent uneven heat distribution and potential warping due to trapped heat in the wood.

Installation of electric underfloor heating:
Check the laying area to confirm its suitability for construction.
b. Clear the laying area.
c. Install insulation layer (only on the bottom layer)
d. Lay reflective layer
e. Lay steel mesh.
Lay out heating cables according to the design drawings.
g. Standard resistance and insulation resistance testing for heating cables.
h. Lay the cement mortar thermal storage layer according to design requirements, serve as a moisture-proof isolation layer, install the floor decorative materials, and complete the floor construction.
Install the thermostat.
