Pluses and minuses of warm floor

There are two types of floor heating: using floor heating with hot water (PEX Tubing Pro) and heating PEX cables.

The main advantage PEX Tubing Pro is that it does not require large expenditures - pipe welded to a system of central heating or hot water. Another advantage of a water heating system: unlike the electric it is compatible with all types of floor coverings.

The main negative - the inability to control the temperature (if you depend on external heating systems).

It may happen that the pressure in the overall system is not enough to pump through your pipes. In addition, there is a real danger of damage during installation of the pipe and a few minutes to flood lower neighbors. And if an accident happens during the operation PEX Tubing Pro (which happens mainly due to wear of pipe joints with a riser), will overlap the entire riser.

Therefore, experts advise using PEX Tubing Pro where there is a heating system, - in country cottages.
