Laminate floor heating, which one to choose. Features stacking

10 years ago on laying laminate flooring on heated floor was out of the question. National, the panels had a low thermal conductivity. By heating the joints expanded locks cracked, warped boards, adhesive agent into the air of formaldehyde compound. Modern coating adapted from almost any operating conditions. Including and for laying on underfloor heating.

Laminate flooring on the heating surface has its own characteristics. On how the installation will be made, it depends on operation and efficiency of the coating.

The choice of a warm floor

From what kind of it will be installed, and depends on surface finish. Under optimal laminate is water with sand and cement screed. Provide uniform heating of the entire area of ​​the room and laminate.

The choice of the substrate

Sand-cement mixture fills difficult to align. Using thick substrate hiding irregularities, not effectively. The thicker the shock absorber, the lower heat dissipation. Thin material will not hide imperfections and will not protect the board from overheating. Laminate does not lie flat. The board will sag and crack.

Align floor without reducing the heating capacity will help rovnitelya layer.
On the market there are many different types of substrate. Without the recommendations of experts in them hard to understand:

· PE foam. It has a high degree of moisture-and heat protection. It does not conduct heat.

· Penopolisterolovaya. It has a high thermal conductivity and protects the coating from the condensate. By heating the fibers between the chemical compounds are destroyed and laminate sags.

· Cork substrate has a thickness and a variety of different degrees of heat output. It has high strength and does not contain chemical compounds.

The choice of laminate

Not every type of laminate is suitable to the system "warm floor". Thick, solid board will reduce to zero heat. The coating should be thin, durable, to withstand high temperature and conduct heat well. Laminate for underfloor heating manufacturer marks a special icon.

From a laminate will be selected for the floor heating it depends on:
• Appearance
• The durability and practicality of operation
• Heat output
• Quick repair and replacement of damaged boards
• Security

Attention! Laminated board of DPS contains a part of the adhesive based on formaldehyde. Heated, toxic substances acquire gaseous form and are released into the atmosphere. Secure content level of toxins mark symbol E 1.

Preparation for installation

Before assembly, laminate floors are heated. Board are laid out and gradually raise the temperature up to a maximum.

Laminate kept in such a microclimate at least two days. During this time, it adapts to temperature and acquire the form, which will be mounted. Preheating prevents contraction, and deformation of the joints spread.

In the heated floor and is going to fit the substrate finishing

heat loss

Laminate flooring is made from wood. By itself, this material has a low percentage of heat conductivity. Using materials of poor quality, ignoring the recommendations of the manufacturer, the heat losses are inevitable and may reduce almost three times the space heating temperature.

Observing stacking technology and following the advice of professionals, warm laminate flooring not only decorate the interior, but also to fulfill the basic heating function.
