Lattialämmitysputkien

Lattialämmitysputkien, commonly known as underfloor heating pipes, are a crucial component of radiant floor heating systems. These pipes are typically made of flexible materials like PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) or PERT (polyethylene of raised temperature resistance) to withstand the temperatures and pressures associated with hot water circulation. They are laid out in a serpentine or spiral pattern beneath the finished floor surface, creating a large heating area.

The primary function of lattialämmitysputkien is to distribute heated water from a central source, such as a boiler or heat pump, evenly across the floor. As hot water flows through the pipes, it transfers heat to the surrounding subfloor and eventually to the room above. This radiant heat warms the occupants and objects directly, providing a comfortable and consistent temperature without the drafts often associated with forced-air systems.

Installation involves securing the pipes to insulation boards or mesh before covering them with a screed or self-leveling compound. This encapsulation ensures efficient heat transfer and protects the pipes. Lattialämmitysputkien are designed for durability and longevity, often exceeding the lifespan of the building itself, and require minimal maintenance once installed. Their silent operation and the aesthetic advantage of being hidden contribute to their popularity in modern construction and renovations.
