Choose wet-way or dry-way for floor heating? Just look over if you have no decision!

For decoration greenhand, in the choice and installation of floor heating is often some problems make the circle."Is the floor heating wet or dry?"This is one of the frequently-mentioned questions.

Today I will explain the difference between wet-way and dry-way floor heating,about their advantages and disadvantages, help you clear your mind, make the most suitable choice ~

What is the difference between dry-way and wet-way flooring heating?

In addition to the use of different products, the biggest difference between dry paving and wet paving of electric floor heating is the need to backfill cement. Generally speaking, wet paving method after the laying of electric heating film, need to backfill 30~50mm bean stone concrete, and then lay ceramic tile or wood floor; and dry paving law does not need backfill layer, after laying a thin layer of special floor mat, you can spread wood floor directly.

Due to the difference in construction technology, there are also differences in the installation and use effect:

1. Construction period:

The construction steps of heating electric heating film heating are very simple and convenient, whether it is wet direct heat heating, or dry fast heat heating, 100 ㎡ heating area, basically can be completed in a day. But the wet direct heating because to the need to backfill cement, so the whole construction period will be slightly longer for about extra 21 days.

2. Thickness of the floor heating:

According to the installation structure diagram, the thickness of wet direct hot floor heating assembly is about 5~6cm, while dry fast hot floor heating only needs about 3.5cm. If the user is worried about the height is not enough, then it is recommended to dry-way floor heating. Compared with the traditional water floor heating, the electric floor heating has more advantages in occupying the height.

3. Heating-up time:

When the wet-way floor heating is working, it is necessary to heat the cement filling layer and the wall, so the heating speed is relatively slow,can reach the preset temperature about 4-5 hour. The dry-way heat heating saves the time of heating the cement layer, the temperature rise effect will be stronger, can be done with open with use, generally an hour can reach the preset temperature.

4. Heat preservation effect:

The concrete filling layer has good heat storage and heat release effect. Even if the floor heating is closed, the indoor temperature will not be immediately down, so the insulation effect of wet -way floor heating is better than dry-way floor heating.

5 After-maintenance:

Warmtact electric film floor heating doesnot need regular maintenance, but if the electric film is damaged by external forces, it is necessary to contact the business in time for replacement. In this case, the maintenance of dry-way floor heating is simple, no need to destroy and replace the floor and ceramic tile, more save time and effort.

Since dry-way and wet-way have their own advantages and disadvantages, so how should we choose?

Suggestions can be considered from multiple factors such as building structure, use place, use demand and budget.

If there are requirements for the construction time and cost, such as old house heating renovation, or hotels, homestay, schools, shops, offices and other occasions that need frequent intermittent heating, it is very suitable for the installation of dry-way floor heating.

If you want to pursue a better thermal insulation effect and comfort, or the heating cycle is longer, then you can choose the wet-way floor heating.
