Graphene Electric Floor Heating vs Water Underfloor Heating

Graphene Electric Floor Heating vs Water Underfloor Heating?  Do you know which one is better? Today we will introduce two common types of floor heating: water heating and graphene floor heating, and see what are their differences and how to choose according to your situation.

Graphene floor heating

It is a new type of electric floor heating that uses the electrical and thermal conductivity of graphene to produce far-infrared light waves, giving people a warm feeling like sunbathing. The advantages of graphene floor heating are energy saving and environmental protection, safe and radiation-free, health care and physiotherapy, long life, and fast heating. The disadvantage is that the quality of graphene floor heating on the market is uneven, some are just using the name of graphene, selling dog meat under the guise of sheep’s head, which may have higher energy consumption and uneven temperature problems. Therefore, choosing a reliable graphene floor heating supplier is very important.

Water underfloor heating

It is a way of using a boiler to heat water and then deliver it to the insulation layer on the ground through pipes, using the convection and radiation of hot water to heat the ground and air. The advantages of water heating are low energy consumption, uniform temperature, no radiation, and no pollution. The disadvantages of water heating are high installation costs, requiring laying pipes and installing boilers, occupying space, short service life, and requiring regular replacement of pipes and maintenance of boilers.

The comparison between the two mainly has the following aspects：

Energy saving: Due to the many products on the market, the same use for a month, the cost is different. If you choose a good graphene floor heating manufacturer, because of the high electric heat conversion rate of graphene floor heating, and because can achieve zoning heating, and switch off at any time, the cost will be lower than water heating. If it is a low-tech graphene floor heating, then water heating energy costs are lower.

Installation cost and maintenance cost: The installation cost of graphene floor heating is low, one only needs to lay the insulation layer and heating film, and later basically no maintenance cost. The installation cost of water heating is high, and the need to lay water pipes and install boilers, water heating every year to carry out pipe cleaning, and boiler oxidation also needs to maintain.

Service life: The service life of graphene floor heating is the same as that of the building, up to more than 50 years, while the service life of water heating is generally around 15-20 years.

Safety： The graphene floor heating of regular manufacturers is very safe, even if there are holes in it, it does not affect its heating, and there is no harmful electromagnetic radiation, which will not cause chronic harm to the body. Water heating needs to pay attention to the safety of the boiler, and avoid the risk of explosion or leakage.

Space and aesthetics: Graphene floor heating, because it is a heating film laid on the ground, so will not affect the flatness and beauty of the ground, and does not occupy the ground space. Water heating, because it needs to lay pipes and install boilers, so it will occupy a certain space and affect the indoor decoration style.

In summary:

Graphene floor heating is better than traditional water heating. Of course, no matter which kind of floor heating you choose, you should pay attention to safe use and maintenance. When installing floor heating, you should choose regular manufacturers and service providers, and avoid using poor-quality materials and equipment.
