lattialämmitysputkistossa

Lattialämmitysputkisto refers to the network of pipes installed within a floor structure that circulates heated fluid to warm the room. This system is a common form of radiant heating, where heat is transferred directly from the floor surface to occupants and objects in the space. The pipes are typically made of durable plastic materials such as PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) or PERT (polyethylene of raised temperature resistance), chosen for their flexibility, corrosion resistance, and ability to withstand the temperatures and pressures involved in heating systems.

These pipes are usually laid out in a serpentine or manifold pattern to ensure even heat distribution across the floor area. They are then embedded within the floor screed, under the finished flooring material, or sometimes within insulation boards. The heated fluid, most commonly water heated by a boiler or heat pump, is pumped through the lattialämmitysputkisto by a circulation pump, controlled by a thermostat to maintain a desired room temperature.

The advantages of a lattialämmitysputkisto include comfortable and even heating, as there are no drafts associated with forced-air systems, and improved energy efficiency due to lower operating temperatures compared to radiators. It also offers aesthetic benefits by eliminating the need for visible radiators. However, installation can be more complex and costly than traditional heating methods, and the response time for temperature changes can be slower. Maintenance typically involves checking for leaks and ensuring the circulation system is functioning correctly.
