Is it possible to have heated floors in the bedroom?

Warm floors are the best option for maintaining a comfortable temperature level in the room. This is achieved due to the fact that heated air rises upward from the entire surface of the floor, evenly warming all corners of the room. In addition, the floor itself, especially if ceramic tiles are laid on it, will remain comfortable in temperature. That is, you can walk on it without slippers. But most ordinary people have a legitimate question: is everything so simple with heated floors, especially if it is a bedroom. Does this type of heating have its hidden disadvantages and what are they?

Warm floors in the bedroom - all the pros and cons

When considering heated floors as the main source of heating of any room, it is worth considering that there are two types:

• Electrical.
• Mermen.

Water is used as a complex autonomous heating system, while electricity is used more locally, in certain areas of a residential building.

When considering floor heating, one should note its undeniable advantages:

• Durability of use.
• Reliability of service life - provided that a high-quality installation of this type of structure was carried out in compliance with all requirements.
• Eliminating problems such as damp and moldy corners.
• Non-traumatic, temperature reaches the limit of 30⁰WITH.
• Contrary to popular belief, furniture is not damaged by standing on a heated surface.
• Additional increase in heat transfer efficiency - resulting in up to 30% heat energy savings.
• No drafts.
• The absence of radiators allows you to make the room more stylish - nothing distracts attention from the main elements of the room.

But still, such floors have their own disadvantages, which include:

• High cost of installation.
• Their installation is quite complicated, so it should be carried out exclusively by professionals.
• Laying such floors is even more complicated if repairs have already been made.
• Cannot be repaired - requires complete replacement if it fails.
• The floor covering must have good thermal conductivity.

IMPORTANT! When using heated floors, take into account the fact that the floor covering must be of high quality and environmentally friendly, so that it does not subsequently release harmful substances into the room when heated.

How much does it cost to have a heated floor in a bedroom?

The cost of an electric heated floor depends on the type being installed: rod, infrared, cable (single- or two-core). Depending on the chosen design, the price ranges from 700 to 1700 rubles/m².

NOTE! Heating the floor from below does not harm sleep in any way. After all, such a heating system is easily regulated simply by screwing down the heat intensity supply. This allows you to make the air in the room where a person sleeps cooler.

The cost of underfloor heating that uses the water type is much more expensive, as it requires the installation of valves, manifolds and other equipment. Starts from 1000 rub/m². But here it is worth considering the issue of durability of use.
