How to achieve thermal comfort at home? Underfloor heating and adequate tap water temperature.

Underfloor heating - why is it worth having it?

First of all, you save a lot of energy, because thermal comfort is achieved at a temperature of 19 ° C on the floor heating. Such heating is beneficial to health - it minimizes air circulation and dust deposition. Important if your household is allergic.

Additionally, the floor heating can be connected to any heat source, e.g. a heat pump, gas boiler, pellet boiler. You do not have to change the house designs to find the optimal combination.

Naturally, there are no radiators with underfloor heating, which gives more options for interior design. Finally, what is important - floor heating is an increase in the value of the property. Well designed and made, it will serve for many years.

Installation of the floor heating - what to pay attention to?

Good design is essential. It guarantees proper use of energy and optimal temperature distribution in rooms. The base of the floor heating is the dividers - an inconspicuous but important element of the system.

Distributors ensure proper heat distribution and hydraulic static electricity of the installation. At the same time, they eliminate the risk of making installation errors, which may be an unpleasant surprise in a few years' time.

Note: We advise you to install the manifold cabinets and the manifolds themselves before laying the floor pipes; pure pragmatism, because you immediately know how to run the pipes. It is worth looking for good quality manifolds, because underfloor heating needs more precise regulation than, for example, radiator heating.

Which manifold to choose?

AFRISO ProCalida EF1 K manifolds will be a good choice. They are made of polyamide, which is a very light and durable, corrosion-resistant plastic. They are distinguished by a modular design - you can easily retrofit the floor heating with additional heating circuits, without the need for complicated system modifications.

They are also easy to install, because they have wall brackets included in the set, so they snap onto the beams without using any tools. An additional advantage is that ProCalida EF1 K manifolds cooperate with underfloor heating control systems.

How to control the floor heating?

In order to fully "unlock" the possibilities of underfloor heating, it is necessary to equip them with a control system. There are two methods to choose from: either centralized regulation of the entire system or regulation of the room temperature. The second option is more popular, because it is more practical and economical - we can lower the temperature in places that we do not use at the moment.

Regulate the temperature in the rooms with a suitable control system

Economics is one thing, comfort also matters. The temperature should be different in the bedroom, in the garage. The underfloor heating control solves this problem. What about the convenience of operation? A system that does not require your frequent attention will be the best. It just has to act independently after the user has set the desired temperature values.

We recommend the AFRISO FloorControl underfloor heating control system. It allows you to create eight independent heating zones. So you can decide in which part of the house should be such and not another temperature. It is a wired system - yes, smart homes are becoming more and more popular, but a well-designed system based on cables is more reliable and works more efficiently.

You do not have to worry about the failure of the Internet or the Bluetooth connection. Everything will run smoothly. In the FloorControl system, simplicity of solutions and intuitive operation count. All elements - a control strip, room thermostats - are easy to program. In addition, they are distinguished by a minimalist design, matching any interior design.

We mentioned above about the important role of manifolds in underfloor heating. ProCalida EF1 K manifolds and the FloorControl system (via AFRISO thermoelectric actuators) are a harmonious duo of solutions that work seamlessly with each other.

What does water circulation give?

Finally, an equally important component of thermal comfort at home. The water in the taps should be at the right temperature - the one that the household likes best. The ideal situation is that after unscrewing the battery, water immediately flows at this temperature. No need to wait for the water to heat up, without the risk that the household member (especially the child) may get burned by the too hot stream.

Not to mention, this waiting is a waste of time and higher water bills. The pump group for domestic hot water circulation WZS 100 responds to these needs by names - 100 percent. The WZS 100 pump group can be installed both in a newly built house and used for modernization of an existing system.

Where to buy AFRISO products?

It provides everything you need from domestic hot water - constant, regulated by you tap water that will flow immediately after opening. Safe water, because the device has the necessary hygiene certificates. Finally, it will take care of comfort, because it keeps water at a high temperature in the tank, so that in an unexpected moment there will be no shortage of hot water.

We should also mention the protection against bacteria - WZS 100 keeps the water in the installation at the right temperature and in constant movement, which prevents the growth of Legionella bacteria. We hope that thanks to this reading you will ensure thermal comfort in your home. Proven and quality solutions are at your fingertips.
