What is the difficulty of organizing heating of half-timbered houses

Half-timbered houses in Europe have been under construction for nearly 500 years. But in Russia they are still new and seem exotic to our places. Many refuse such a house in favor of more familiar options because of fears of possible insufficient heating. Is it so?

Heating in half-timbered houses

In general, the organization of heating systems for any home is not an easy task, and only an experienced craftsman can solve it. It is much more difficult to organize a heating system in panoramic glazed frame houses. Especially in those regions where most of the year low temperatures and cold winds. Indeed, whatever one may say, even the highest quality double-glazed windows will always lose to any wall materials in heat capacity.

If you decide to build a panoramic house, then the issues of heating and ventilation should be entrusted to professionals working with similar types of buildings. And already on the finished project, you can begin to organize vital systems.

Which type of fencing house heating directly depends on the region of construction:

• Solid fuel and stoves. We take a step back in the development of construction, and indeed of civilization as a whole. back to the good old wood and coal. Yes, costly, yes time-consuming, but justified, if the house is at a decent distance from residential buildings, is not subject to round-bottom living and the goal is to save money. There is another flaw in this system - panoramic windows in half-timbered houses. It turns out that you will not hide and stretch the pipes anywhere, through which the life-giving heat from the stove will go. Complete replacement of the stove with a fireplace is romantic, but with a large area it is simply unrealistic.
• Electricity more modern type of fuel, but so expensive. Just imagine how much electricity is needed to heat a house. And besides teni have a habit of failing, they are hopeless for restoration after the repair. Electric types of heating can also include radiators that are powered from the network. For cold regions, for year-round houses, this option is not suitable.
• "Warm floor" ideal for homes with panoramic glazing. No radiators or pipes. And the maximum heating area provides maximum comfort and complete heating of the room. It is also ideal where there is no gas heating.

Also, do not lose sight of the fact that houses with panoramic glazing are susceptible to natural heat from the sun. This fact must be taken into account when designing a home and heating systems.
