Easy! Installation stages. Secrets of maximum effect

It is impossible to imagine the comfort of a home without warmth, especially in the damp, cold season. To achieve this goal, hundreds of heating systems have been invented. Widely used in recent decades - warm floor. In Russia, analogues of floor heating appeared in the distant XIII-XV centuries. How effective is the underfloor heating system? How to arrange it correctly?

Efficiency:

• Heat spreads from bottom to top. There is no better scheme than underfloor heating.
• The filling material of the floor tends to accumulate heat. With a temporary shutdown of the heating system, the floor will give back the accumulated for a long time.
• The heating level achieved at a system temperature equipped with conventional radiators of 50-60 degrees is easily achieved by 30-40 degrees of warm floor.

The system is effective! How to mount it correctly?

Preparationbasics

Filling the sub-floor. Although the work is considered rough, in no case should quality be neglected. The floor must be poured strictly into the level. In multi-storey buildings, a floor slab can serve as a base.

The thickness of the plates is at least 5 cm. Otherwise, a considerable part of the heat will simply go down. The main thermal insulation properties will fall on this material. It is recommended to seal the joints of the boards with polyurethane foam. For fixing, a dowel-nail is used to fix the foam.

Spreadingreflectivefilms

A necessary step to increase the efficiency of the warm floor. The film reflects heat. The reflector is often marked with markings to allow for faster pipe placement.

Stylingpipes

Manufactured using special fasteners. The distance between the pipes can vary from 10-20cm. You can achieve uniform floor heating by laying the pipe in a spiral.

Finishingscreed

Height from 8-10 cm. The main "working" part of the floor, which accumulates heat. The height of the screed determines how long the floor will keep warm, how well it will distribute it. It is advisable to use beacons.

Finishing

Options: tiles, linoleum, laminate.

Important:

• If there is a possibility of heating shutdown, it is necessary to fill the system not with water, but with special non-freezing liquids.
• Do not use styrofoam. In the process of installing a warm floor, the foam breaks down, crumbles, nullifying the thermal insulation.
• It is impossible to make a thin clean screed to avoid cracking. The warm floor turns into "hot".
  
  Underfloor heating is an excellent system, proven, without exaggeration, for centuries. Since then, it has been refined, improved, brought to the ideal. Thanks to this system, you can feel the warmth of your home over and over again.
