sisepõranda

Sisepõranda is an Estonian term that translates to "underfloor heating" in English. It refers to a heating system installed beneath the floor surface, designed to distribute warmth evenly throughout a room. This method of heating has become increasingly popular in modern construction due to its efficiency and aesthetic advantages.

The most common types of sisepõranda systems are electric and hydronic. Electric systems use heating cables or mats embedded in the floor, powered by electricity. Hydronic systems, on the other hand, circulate warm water through pipes laid under the floor, typically heated by a boiler or heat pump. Both systems are designed to provide comfortable and consistent temperatures.

Key benefits of sisepõranda include its ability to eliminate the need for radiators, freeing up wall space and allowing for greater design flexibility. It also offers a more even heat distribution compared to traditional heating methods, reducing cold spots and drafts. Furthermore, it can be more energy-efficient as the heat rises gently from the floor, requiring lower water or air temperatures to achieve the same level of comfort. Installation is typically done during the construction or renovation phase of a building.
