Electric underfloor heating, how to make furniture rearrangement possible
Electric underfloor heating rearranging furniture is difficult and sometimes for the buyer undecided!
Electric underfloor heating has both advantages and disadvantages compared to water underfloor heating. One of the main disadvantages of electric underfloor heating is the impossibility to rearrange furniture. If the cable is laid, and for example, we decided to move the sofa over time, the place where the sofa stood will be cold. In fact, it is possible to move the sofa.
If we assume that there is a possibility of rearranging any interior elements, it is sufficient to divide the room into separately heated zones and place a separate heating section under the sofa, for example. The supply ends of the heating section should be led to the regulator, but not connected. If the sofa is moved, connect the previously unconnected heating section to the regulator and we get heating at the place where the sofa used to stand. Taking into account that there are not so many permutations that can be made, it is possible to circumvent this problem without much difficulty by considering all possible variants in advance. All this can be done by yourself, making an elementary scheme of cable laying. By dividing the room into zones, as well as distributing which regulator will switch on or off a certain heating zone, if there are several temperature regulators in the room.
One floor heating controller can control any number of heating sections. The main condition is that the power of simultaneously connected heating sections does not exceed the regulator power parameters, in most regulators it is 3.5kW.
It is also important that all sections working simultaneously are in the same conditions. Since there are several sections and only one temperature controller and sensor, it is important that the capacity of the laid sections and the thermal insulation under the heating sections are the same everywhere, otherwise we will get uneven heating and the possibility of overheating.
By following the above recommendations you will get an electric underfloor heating system, with the ability to rearrange furnishings.
