A few useful tips on how to choose a warm water baseboard: price, reviews and characteristics

Modern heating systems have advanced a lot. Now you can heat the room not only with conventional batteries or systems with AGV, but also use warm floors, walls and even a warm water baseboard. Each model has its own price, reviews and characteristics, although the principle of operation is the same.

Nice and warm, and most importantly inexpensive

Warm skirting board: what is it and why is it profitable to install it

In Europe, many houses already cannot do without skirting water heating, but for Russia it is a novelty that is only gaining its popularity.

A room without batteries looks much better

It consists of two parts: an aluminum box and an internal heating module made of copper pipes. Outwardly, such a structure fully corresponds to a conventional plinth, is installed around the perimeter of the room and gradually heats up the entire area, rising along the vertical walls, and then spreading throughout the entire space. Moreover, heating works on the principle of radiation, and not using convection.

Heating design of this type

The standard dimensions of such a device are no more than 15 cm in height, and up to 3 cm in width, so they are visually completely invisible. That is why, as well as due to the even distribution of heat, such a heating system is becoming more and more popular.

Advantages of "warm" skirting boards

Using ordinary radiator heating in the house, warm air circulation is obtained with the formation of places where the temperature regime is unstable. Applying a system of skirting boards, uniform heating of the entire room is obtained.

How heat is distributed in the example of Mr. Tektum

This heating is compatible with all types of flooring. Effectively used in a room with many windows and high ceilings. At the same time, the system reacts very quickly to the necessary changes and almost instantly heats the space to the required temperature.

Modern heating in the large hall

Plus, most of the models can be mounted independently, as well as subsequent maintenance and repairs, saving on calling the master. And most importantly, they do not require any disguise, unlike batteries or air conditioners.

Varieties of heating skirting boards

There are two ways of transferring heat: using a heat carrier (water) and an electric heating element (TEN). Therefore, there are two types:

Let's consider each in more detail.

Electric warm skirting board

In such designs, low-temperature heating elements are installed, which heat up to a maximum of 60 degrees Celsius, but have a high power from 180 to 280 W. They fit into a pipe located below, and a cable is mounted on top. The length of one module reaches 2.5 meters.

Heating water skirting boards also consist of modules connected in one heating circuit.

Water model

You can use multiple circuits that connect to the manifold. There are more modern models that have a flow meter. All options are selected taking into account the required final power for the room at a certain water pressure in the system.

There is a formula by which the required water pressure in the system is calculated:

To find the required power, you need to know the required temperature, which is the difference between the temperature of the device and the air (Tv). In this case, the first indicator is the arithmetic mean between the supply (tp) and return (to) pipelines.

Usually, when calculating the required system head, the difference between the supply and return wires does not exceed 5 degrees Celsius. Then it will be optimal (60-55) / 2-20 = 37.5 if you want to maintain 20 degrees of heat in the room.Manufacturers of such structures usually already calculate the required number of running meters of the product with the calculation of heating the room to 20-24 degrees Celsius.

Decoration option to match the wall color

For example, with a power of 200 W and a coolant temperature of 65 degrees Celsius, the baseboard will use 0.34 liters of water per meter. The length of the contour is 12.5 m (4.5 l). The estimated cost for 1 running meter of the assembled structure will be from 3,800 rubles.

Installation of a warm water baseboard with your own hands

Installation of a warm water baseboard requires adherence to the stages of work and accuracy, it is necessary to monitor the uniformity of heat supply. If necessary, it is better to invite a specialist for a consultation. Although if you have already carried out the installation of a conventional heating system, then there should be no questions.

Step by step creation of heating

Table 1. Installation of a warm water baseboard with your own hands

Stage	What needs to be done	Picture
Installing the plank on the wall.	It is necessary for convectors that are fixed above the floor; for installation, you will need a screwdriver and self-tapping screws or dowels.
Working with modules.	It is necessary to collect all the modules into a single chain. The convectors are connected to each other with crimp fittings - this makes the system similar to metal-plastic pipes.
Connection to the trunk.	It is necessary to connect a warm plinth to a common line. For this, a collector (distributor comb) is mounted. Important! For the heating system to work efficiently, the length of one circuit must not exceed 13 m.
Checking the connection is correct.	Before closing, you must make sure that the entire system is assembled correctly and working, and also check for cracks and leaks. Therefore, run and watch.
Closing the system.	The last stage is decorating the system with a top bar. There is nothing complicated here, look at the instructions for the product.

That's the whole installation, for those who have already worked with heating, the calculation of power and the assembly of elements will not cause difficulties. For beginners, we suggest watching a video with explanations for the work.

If you still doubt whether to install a system of warm water skirting boards, the owners' reviews are presented below:

Very beautiful and discreet

Warm water baseboard: price, customer reviews

In order to decide on the purchase, consider some options for warm water baseboards, prices and reviews for them. Here is an overview of the major manufacturers.

Firm	Price per running meter, rub.	Picture
Best Board (Austria)	4800
Thermodul (Italy)	5800
Mr. Tektum (Russia)	5000
Megador (Russia)	3000
Termia (Ukraine)	2000

In this case, you can buy ready-made models or purchase accessories separately. It will not be difficult for you to choose, but it will not be difficult to buy a warm water baseboard.

Few recommendations

Having considered the features of warm water baseboards, we can conclude that such a heating system is economical and aesthetic. You can install it both in an ordinary apartment with a shared water supply, and with AGV. You can also purchase an electric model.

The perfect solution for any interior

There are many design options, as well as colors. After choosing a manufacturer, do not forget to calculate the required amount and capacity of the system.If you are not able to make the installation yourself, then it is better to contact a specialist.
