lattialämmitysputket

Lattialämmitysputket are the pipes used in underfloor heating systems. These pipes circulate heated water or a heating fluid beneath the floor surface to distribute warmth evenly throughout a room. The primary material for these pipes is typically a flexible plastic, most commonly cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) or polybutylene (PB). These materials are chosen for their durability, resistance to corrosion and high temperatures, and their ability to be bent into the required patterns for installation.

The installation process involves laying these pipes in a serpentine or spiral pattern across the subfloor, often secured to insulation boards or mesh. The distance between the pipes, known as the pipe spacing, is a critical factor in determining the heat output and temperature distribution of the system. Thicker pipes are generally used for the main supply and return lines connecting to the manifold, while smaller diameter pipes are used for the loops within the floor.

Lattialämmitysputket are designed to withstand the pressures and temperatures associated with hydronic heating systems. They are also chosen for their longevity, with a lifespan often exceeding that of the building itself when installed correctly. The correct material selection and installation are paramount to ensuring the efficiency, safety, and long-term performance of underfloor heating.
