How does water underfloor heating work?

Hydraulic underfloor heating takes advantage of the flexibility of PEX pipes. Uncut segments snake across the room, with the beginning and end attached to the collector.

Since the floor will be sealed, there should be no joints in the tube. Each loop of the tube is installed at a distance of about nine inches from each other, and then held in place with brackets of a special shape.

The rough floor and pipes are covered with concrete, drywall or cement mortar with dry tamping, providing a strong seal.

These materials trap heat, allowing it to radiate evenly regardless of whether the system is working or not. In most cases, the floor is covered with ceramic tiles, as they also retain heat well.

By heading from the room to the system itself, the collector helps maintain an even distribution of water between sections of PEX tubes and helps ventilate the system. At the other end of the system is a special boiler or water heater with a circulation pump that draws water into the system and returns it to the bottom of the boiler for reheating.

Since water usually loses about ten degrees, the operating system maintains heat quite effectively.
