It is about warm floors I've dreamed since both were with friends in an apartment that did this miracle of civilization

By purchasing housing under construction, the buyer receives a number of unique features, such as: the ability to adjust the floor plan, to hide in the walls of the cable products and pipes, placed conveniently sockets and switches, install additional sound insulation, install a floor heating system and all that just enough fantasy.
It is about warm floors I've dreamed since both were with friends in an apartment that did this miracle of civilization.

Knowing that Turbofan gas boiler will be installed in a new apartment, and knowing its characteristics, I began to read the necessary literature and talk with experienced people.

Immediately there was an idea to make floor heating throughout the area apartments, completely abandoning the radiators. Most skeptics took this idea with profound doubt and only a few are thinking about it rationally. Dispel all doubt helped the memories from the lessons of physics at school. Warm air rises up and easier cold - heavier and sinks down. Thus, the heat from the radiators rushes straight to the ceiling, that's why there is always hot, and while the warm air does not fill the entire volume from the top down, there will be warm in the room. With underfloor heating is different: warming up the entire area of ​​warm air fills the volume of the room from the bottom up, that is rapid and without heat loss. In general against physics is no arguing!

So, after drawing a project and making purchases, I proceeded to the installation design. Shots floor insulating material, laid reinforcing lattice and solidified red tube.

Just mounted closed circuit radiator connection to the case, if my fears with regards to the lack of heat will be real. A total of eight loops of the pipeline and a very impressive system of cranes.

After completing the installation of the construction could only fill half peskobeton. The total cost of construction without regard to gender casting was about thirty-five thousand rubles for an apartment of fifty-five square meters.

What it was obtained in the end? I am with my wife and child live in a new apartment for over a year and has already managed to evaluate all the pros and cons of the ideas implemented.

List the main positive qualities:

1. The apartment is warm. I was not mistaken in their calculations, even in the cold on the street -27 degrees in the apartment held a comfortable 24 degrees. In this design evenly distributes heat throughout the apartment even with the opening of all closed loops. Regular pump gas boiler was enough of his power enough to push the water even in the most distant parts of the apartment.

2. The apartment dryly. The average humidity in the room is kept in the range of 50% -70% depending on the season.

3. There is the possibility of individual adjustment facilities. separate circuit system optimally adjust the temperature where it is needed.

4. The apartment is comfortable. It is possible to walk barefoot, to let a small child playing on the floor with no clothes or to sit on the floor, playing in the top box in a big company.

5. Savings. Of course, everyone loves the level of heat in the house, but if we consider the blunt fact: my average monthly payment for the gas is obtained at 10% -20% less than their neighbors living above.

I can say only one of the negative qualities: as the temperature in the boiler is not set above 42-45 degrees (otherwise it will burn the heel), the system became rather inert. And if for a long time in some of the rooms has been turned off teplopodacha, then re-warm it will take several hours.

The general conclusion: floor heating system can be used not only as an adjunct to the main heating system, but also as a ready room heating option.
