Electric Underfloor Heating Projects

Water underfloor heating, like other types of underfloor heating (with electric cable/carbon film), is integrated into valves with different operating principles (manual, automatic, thermostatic) that allow the heat to spread evenly to the environment where it is applied and allow the temperature to be adjusted in separate parts of the building. It creates a very comfortable environment. In addition, it saves energy by preventing heat loss and thus ensures that all users, especially those in cold regions, are warmed at the least cost.

What is Wet Underfloor Heating?

Wet underfloor heating is a type of underfloor heating system that is used to heat many places from residences to residences, from hotels to villas. The wet floor heating system, which is installed by laying plastic pipes on the floor of the buildings, on the insulation material, and installing the collectors that bring water to these pipes from the feeder, in certain parts of the building, is one of the most practical, healthiest and most economical ways of heating large areas and is preferred in buildings with continuous use. is the reason. Since the water feeding the system is at a low temperature (30 C-50 C water in the tanks is sufficient) is sufficient for the system to work actively, the pipes collected in the main distributor and the main collectors (collector) can use all kinds of heaters as a source. The water floor heating system, which becomes much more economical when powered by solar energy or a heater pump, is the system in which condensing combi boilers and heater pumps operate most efficiently. The rough construction of the relevant building must not be completed in order for the watery underfloor heating system to keep the ambient temperature at the desired level and prevent heat losses, thanks to the circulation of the hot water passing through the pipes laid on the floor. In buildings whose rough construction is completed, the system must be laid before the floor covering is applied or the renovation works are completed.

Which Materials Are Used in Wet Underfloor Heating System?

The ISITMAX Underfloor Heating System, which promises a comfortable life in the area it is used, consists of many materials, each of which has an important task. The most basic of these materials, which ensure the establishment of the ISITMAX Water Floor Heating System and its active use for years, is undoubtedly the plastic floor heating pipes, the diameters of which vary between 14 mm and 20 mm, through which the hot water passes. Modulation panels with a height of approximately 5 cm are used for laying the pipes properly on the ground and providing thermal insulation. The collector (distribution) box with a fixed or adjustable frame, which is the only material that users see on the surface, is the place where the pipes (outgoing-incoming) are laid in ISITMAX Water Underfloor Heating Systems. The collectors, which are the main distributor/collector of the heating pipes and allow only opening and closing, with flow meters or regulating automation, are also among the most important parts of the system. It consists of collectors, main shut-off valves, connection plate, air vent, thermometer and fill/drain cocks. Edge insulation tape is used both to prevent heat loss, to ward off the stresses caused by the expansion of the screed, and to ensure that the system is used for a long time. In addition to these materials, pipe holders, U clip, modulation dowel, corner correction apparatus, repeater, signal booster, compact mixing circuit and column line are other materials used in ISITMAX Underfloor Heating System. In addition, thermostat, thermal valve, and main controller in automated systems; In wireless systems, a wireless room thermostat and a wireless main receiver are needed. If the system is to be used for ground cooling, it is also necessary to use a condensation sensor.

How Does the Underfloor Heating System Work?

As in all underfloor heating systems, the basic principle of the water floor heating system is to meet the heat need in the environment where it is installed by heating the air from the floor and to spread a homogeneous heat to the environment. In the water floor heating system, the heating pipes do the same job as the cables in the cable floor heating system and the carbon films in the carbon floor heating. These high-quality, long-lasting pipes, which are the main heating element of the system, are laid under the floor by means of modulation panels. The water heated by the central heater, on the other hand, circulates from the tank where it is accumulated through the collectors between the column and floors to these pipes and from the pipes to the tank and operates the system. Manual or automatic thermostats integrated into the system also take part in keeping the ambient temperature at the desired level at all times. The system can be fed from any energy source (solid, liquid or gas) as well as integrated into the solar energy system with a heat pump. Although it varies according to the area it is used, the wet floor heating system, which fixes the floor temperature at an average of 29 C to 35 C, is the most suitable choice for creating a healthy environment.

What are the Advantages of Wet Underfloor Heating System?

The ISITMAX Underfloor Heating System, which is preferred for heating large areas, offers many advantages to its users from the first day. A healthy environment, economical heating and long-lasting use are at the top of these advantages.

Healthy Environment

The homogeneous distribution of the heat in the horizontal and vertical axis in the spaces where ISITMAX Underfloor Heating System is used ensures that an equal temperature is felt in every part of the environment where it is used. Thus, problems in different systems such as hot areas close to the system and relatively cold areas far away are not encountered. This prevents individuals who have to use different areas of the environment from being exposed to different temperatures and indirectly from getting sick due to temperature changes in the environment. ISITMAX Underfloor Heating System reduces the humidity in the areas used and restricts the living spaces of living things such as mites. Another important contribution of ISITMAX Underfloor Heating System to health is the use of carpets, rugs, etc., which trap dust and dirt in the environment where it is installed. The elements are not required to be used. Therefore, the system contributes to the prevention of respiratory ailments such as asthma triggered by dust and/or dirt.

Economic Warming

The temperature of the boiler water fed to the ISITMAX Underfloor Heating System is between 30 C and 50 C degrees, which is sufficient to keep the temperature in the environment at the necessary levels for human health. These values are low compared to the values required by radiator systems (70 C to 90 C) and provide significant energy savings. The fact that ISITMAX Underfloor Heating System can be integrated into manual or automatic thermostats ensures that the temperature values are kept constant, thus saving energy consumption. In addition, the system consumes minimum energy as it prevents heat losses, thus preventing the bills from rising.

Long Lasting Use

ISITMAX Underfloor Heating Systems are durable heating systems that do not require maintenance once installed. The life of the pipes in the system is more than 100 years, which is equivalent to the life of the buildings. In other words, as long as the building is used, ISITMAX Water Floor Heating Systems will continue to be used as on the first day.

Being Decorative and Gaining Space

Since ISITMAX Underfloor Heating System is installed under the floor, it does not consume the volume of the area, unlike radiator cores, thus allowing the owners of the space to decorate the relevant environment as they wish. At the same time, it eliminates the need for carpets used in large areas, with the idea that it cuts the cold coming from the floor, and thus creates much more spacious environments.

What are the Differences Between Wet Underfloor Heating and Wired Underfloor Heating?

ISITMAX, which provides service with different underfloor heating systems for different needs, determines the current status of the building to prevent heat loss, whether it is used continuously, its geographical location, etc. It guides its customers to choose the most suitable underfloor heating system, taking into account the criteria. There is basically no difference between ISITMAX’s water or electric (cable) floor heating systems in terms of performance to meet the specified purpose. Both systems fully meet the heat requirement in the environment and provide an economical heating. The materials they are made from, the sources they feed on and the features they need in the buildings for their laying are the points that separate the water and cable floor heating systems from each other. The most basic distinction between systems is the quantitative characteristics of the structure in which the flooring will be made. Wet underfloor heating systems cannot be installed in finished buildings. In order for the system to be used, the rough construction of the building must not be completed and the flooring must not be done. This condition is not sought in cabled floor heating systems that do not raise the floor of the building (approximately 10 cm) like the water system. In addition, the water floor heating system is widely applied to large areas. For small spaces, a wired underfloor heating system is more suitable. Even if the building is not used continuously, a wired floor heating system is preferred instead of a water floor heating system. Because the water floor heating system needs more time to bring the environment to the desired temperature compared to the electric floor heating system and is not suitable for intermittent use (it must remain open all the time at low temperatures). Another difference between the systems is the energy sources they use. While the water floor heating system can be fed with any kind of energy source, the wired floor heating system is powered only by electricity. In addition, although the geographical conditions do not make a difference in terms of the preference of the systems, it is much more reasonable to use the water underfloor heating system in the areas that receive sunlight, since it can use solar energy. Another difference between water and cable floor heating systems, which have the same installation and operating costs, is the system components. While there are heater pipes and collectors among the basic materials used in water floor heating, the basic material of electric floor heating is heating cables.

What are the Warranty Period and Conditions of the Wet Underfloor Heating System?

All materials used in the ISITMAX Underfloor Heating System are of high quality and long-lasting, and are tested and certified by independent organizations. ISITMAX Underfloor Heating System can be used safely for more than 100 years, minimum 50 years. If the materials that make up the water floor heating system are supplied with the assurance of ISITMAX, they are guaranteed for 10 years. In order for the materials not to be out of warranty, the system must be furnished, tested and put into practice by ISITMAX officials. The life of the heater pipes, which are the main elements of the ISITMAX Underfloor Heating System, is equivalent to the life of the buildings in which they are used. Pipe failures due to changes in the values determined during the installation of the system (pressure, water temperature, etc.) over time are not covered by the warranty.

Material and Application Prices of Wet Underfloor Heating System

In order to calculate the total installation cost of the ISITMAX Underfloor Heating System, the province and district in which the system will be installed, the purpose of use, quantitative characteristics (adjacent, separate, type, etc.), the quality of the flooring, etc. features must be known. All these factors directly affect how much material should be used, as well as the cost of labor. Although its total cost may seem high at first, ISITMAX Underfloor Heating System will pay for itself in a short time after its installation, thanks to the low energy it consumes. The price per m2 of the long-lasting, watery underfloor heating system used in ISITMAX Water Floor Heating System is 40 Euro+VAT . The unit price of the thermostats, which serve to keep the ambient temperature at the desired level, is 75 Euro + VAT . You can share the project of your building with us to find out the total material and application price. You can send your projects or hand-drawn sketches to info@www.isitmax.com.

Consumption Values of Underfloor Heating System by Provinces (m2)

The watered floor heating system comes to the fore, perhaps because it is the most “economical”. Although the material and application prices are higher when compared to the prices of the radiator system in the first place, the water floor heating system pays for itself in a short time due to its low energy consumption and provides heating in an economical way for many years. In order to understand the contribution of the ISITMAX Water Floor Heating System to the pocket, it would be useful to share the consumption values calculated on a provincial basis: the measurements in which the residential insulation value is considered to be of medium quality have shown that the water floor heating system consumes much less fuel than the radiator system. This shows that there will be a 20% reduction in bills. (Values offered may vary as +/-.)
