What material is suitable for underfloor heating pipes?

With the improvement of people's living standard, more and more people choose to install underfloor heating pipes in their homes, so that we can also feel the warmth indoors in the cold winter. So exactly which kind of pipe is the most suitable for underfloor heating pipe? What are their respective characteristics, and how should we choose underfloor heating pipes? Next, let fosite ， a factory with 30  years of manufacturing experience to answer for you.

The following types of pipes are suitable for floor heating pipes:

First, PERT pipe (heat-resistant polyethylene pipe)
1. Characteristics
- Good flexibility, easy construction and laying, can reduce the number of joints, reduce the risk of leakage.
- Good temperature resistance, generally can be used in the temperature range of -40 ℃ - 95 ℃, can adapt to the water temperature requirements of the floor heating system.

2. Service life
- Under normal use, its service life can reach about 50 years.

Second, PB pipe (polybutylene pipe)

1. Characteristics
- It is a kind of high molecular inert polymer with high chemical stability.
- Excellent flexibility, can maintain good toughness at low temperatures, strong impact resistance.
- High temperature resistance, can work stably in the temperature range of -20℃ - 95℃.

2. Service life
- Theoretically, its service life can exceed 50 years.

PE-X pipe (cross-linked polyethylene pipe)

1. Characteristics
- Excellent temperature and pressure resistance, stable molecular structure after cross-linking, can withstand higher pressure and temperature.
- Good anti-aging properties, not easy to be deformed or damaged by long-term heat and pressure.
- There are three kinds of cross-linking methods: a, b and c. Among them, PE-Xa pipe has outstanding performance.

2. Service life
- It can reach about 50 years under normal use.
