    I love the korean system of heating the floor. Is one of the things I miss more about Korea.

    Very informative...thanks. My admiration for Korea began when reading that archeology discovered some ondol about 7400 years b.c.

    With ondol system, people can make a food and heat the house at the same time.

    Ondol in Korea has been handed down for more than 2,000 years since the Bronze Age. Unlike Western fireplaces, ondol is a method of warming the floor by laying down the fire and making it crawl, rather than sending smoke directly to the chimney. It has the advantage of being able to heat for a long time without generating smoke inside the room. You can also enjoy two effects of cooking food as well as heating the room.

      Romans had a similar system called Hypocaust

      Similar to the hypocaust system of the romans.

      The oldest ondol remains found in Korea are 7,000 years old.

      In Korea, it has been used since BC and is still used to this day. The Roman underfloor heating system has nothing to do with the modern underfloor heating system, and the modern underfloor heating was created and developed with the motif of the Korean ondol.

    Ondol, the reason sleeping on the floor during winter is NOT doloroso 🔥🔥
    How things stand with regard to its price and heating bills?
    Awesome! 🙆🏻‍♂️ Thank you, Korean Unnie! And Korea Now approaching 500K! 😎💪💪 I wish you surpass this milestone shortly!

      In modern times, hot water heated using a boiler is installed on the floor.
      There is a difference between a boiler that heats up using gas or electricity.
      In winter, maintenance costs of about $50 a month are used to maintain indoor temperatures between 22 and 24 degrees Celsius.
      The larger the house and the larger the area to be heated, the higher the cost.
      It can cost about $300 a month if it is a two-story house with more than five people living.
      There is a valve in the boiler room that can lock and open piping to each room.
      Closing valves connected to unused rooms can save heating costs.
      The charges I filled out are based on gas and electricity charges in Korea.
      Keep in mind that if you live in a country other than Korea, the rates may vary from country to country.
      Traditional ondol is powered only by the heat of firewood used for cooking.
      There are performance deviations depending on various methods, such as the movement path of internal smoke, but heating usually lasts from 7 hours to up to 12 hours.
      The heating lasts for 7 to 12 hours every time a bonfire is used to cook, so if you cook three times a day, the heating lasts for 24 hours.
      If the heating time lasts less than five hours, there is a problem with the insulation work or the construction itself of the ondol is defective.
      Or the weather could be below minus 25 degrees Celsius. If it is too cold, the heating time will be reduced.
      In Korea, every house has been installed since it was built.
      If you buy or rent a house in Korea, you don't need the installation fee.
      If you want to install it in a country other than Korea, you'll need to find a company that you install in that country. Ask the company about the installation cost.

    In China it is called Kang. In Russia, it is called Russian stove - where people put their beds to sleep on top. The Chinese stove bed started as early as 7200 years ago. I guess when people are cold, they'd do anything to stay warm - including sleeping and walking on top of fire.

    The oldest ondol remains to date are 7,000 years ago, and as far as I know, during World War II, American architect Frank Lloyd Wright saw the ondol of the Joseon Palace and developed a system that can be heated with hot water when building a Japanese hotel (1914).

    Similar in Japan and a Kotatsu I slept under and never slept better in my life. It has been difficult sleeping in a bed, I prefer the floor and still sleep on the floor sometimes as it's more comfortable. I wish they had the system in America.

    • @scarssiel
      @scarssiel Před 2 lety +1

      Yes, of course. If you are interested in Korean culture and wanna understand more about it, a good approach might be to think of it as one of the oldest sedantary culture in the earth. I think It will explain many of 'why they ..' questions. Ex: Ondol (underfloor heating) and taking off shoes at home.
      On the contrary, in nomad-oriented cultures, mobility is the most important thing and thus mobility was considered into every way of life -residence and heating, kitchen and food etc.
