How to coil floor heating pipes: analysis of hot topics on the Internet and practical guide
Recently, floor heating installation and coil technology have become hot topics in the field of home decoration. Especially before the onset of winter, related searches have surged. This article will combine the hot content of the past 10 days to provide you with a detailed analysis of the core points of floor heating coils and provide structured data reference.
1. Basic principles and processes of floor heating coils

Floor heating coil refers to laying floor heating pipes under the ground in a specific way to achieve even heat dissipation through hot water circulation. The following are the key steps of coil management that are hotly discussed across the Internet:
| steps | Operational points | Frequently asked questions (hot search terms) |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Design layout | Calculate the pipe length according to the room area, with a spacing of 15-30cm | "Standards for Spacing of Floor Heating Pipes" |
| 2. Select pipe material | PEX pipes and PERT pipes are the mainstream (accounting for 85%) | “What material is the best for floor heating pipes?” |
| 3. Coil method | Spiral type (small space), reciprocating type (large space) | "Illustration of floor heating snake coil" |
| 4. Fix pipes | Use staples or straps, 3-4 fixing points per meter | "What should I do if the floor heating pipe is not firmly fixed?" |
2. Recent hot technical controversies
According to platform data analysis, the following topics are the most discussed:
| Controversial topics | support rate | Opposing views |
|---|---|---|
| Whether expansion joints need to be installed | 62% think it is necessary | “Small apartments can be omitted” |
| Zigzag vs parallel coil | Return-shaped search volume +120% | “Parallel type saves materials” |
| Single tube vs dual tube system | Double-pipeline system consultation accounted for 73% | "Lower cost per tube" |
3. Precautions for practical operation (high-frequency Q&A)
Combined with the real-time question and answer data from the decoration APP, the following key points are sorted out:
1.Pipe bending radius: Must be greater than 5 times the pipe diameter (for example, a 16mm pipe must have a radius of ≥80mm). Recently, complaints of water leakage due to excessive bending have increased by 40%.
2.Divider location: Hot search cases show that the best location is in the center of the house, which can reduce heat loss by 5%-8%.
3.stress test: After construction, a 0.6MPa pressure holding test is required, and Douyin related tutorial videos have been played more than 2 million times.
4. Material selection trend data
| Pipe type | Market share | Price range (yuan/meter) |
|---|---|---|
| PEX-A pipe | 38% | 12-18 |
| PEX-B pipe | 45% | 8-15 |
| PERT tube | 17% | 6-12 |
5. New trends in 2023
1.Intelligent coil design: Some brands launched APP simulation coil functions, and search volume increased by 65% week-on-week.
2.Prefabricated trench module: Simplifying the construction process, JD.com data shows that sales increased by 90% year-on-year.
3.Environmentally friendly reflective film
It can be seen from the above structured data that floor heating coil technology is developing in the direction of intelligence and standardization. It is recommended that users refer to the latest industry standards (JGJ142-2012) before construction and give priority to pipeline materials with oxygen barrier layers to extend the life of the system.
