Varieties of the warm floor with the hands of a private house

Several options for organizing a warm floor are distinguished. In relation to the main source of energy supply, warm floors are water and electric. The first option provides the possibility of local heating of the room, some separate room. Since the cost of such heating is quite high, the electric version of the organization of underfloor heating is less popular.

The electric version of the warm floor involves the work using power supply. They have the shape of a cable system and a combination of heating elements combined into an integral system. Among the varieties of the electric floor, structures based on carbon and infrared radiation are also distinguished. Among the main characteristics of a warm floor on an electric basis, we note:

• the need for a dry basis for installation work;
• the need to perform pinching and ensuring high -quality thermal insulation;
• the need to equip a temperature regulator;
• duration of operation and reliability;
• Use only as an additional heating source.

Warm cable floor floor is one of the most popular options for organizing a warm floor. For its arrangement, a special version of the previously cut sectional cable is used, which is installed in previously prepared structures. To control the temperature of the cable, it is necessary to install a special device in the form of a sensor. To connect the installation ends of the sensor, wires, a thermoregulator is used. In this case, the system begins to work only when the air temperature drops below the given parameter. In relation to the type of cables used in the installation of warm floors, they are:

• straight - having a direct effect, installed on a concrete screed directly in contact with the flooring;
• Systems for heating thin floors are characterized by minimal building height;
• cable floor floor installed under a wooden coating;
• structures accumulating thermal energy.

The cable system is autonomous of operation to each individual room. The installation of one thermostat at once for several rooms leads to a decrease in the energy efficiency of the operation of the warm floor.

Water variants of the warm floor are used more often. They are suitable for the general heating of the dwelling. DIY warm water is distinguished by good operational characteristics and ease of installation.

Among the main advantages of water warm floors, we note:

1. Comfortable conditions for applying the floor. Heat is released from the floor, and as you know, the temperature is always below the floors. Therefore, heat, gradually moving towards the top, evenly warms up the entire room.

2. Thermal losses are reduced through ceiling areas. Especially relevant for rooms with high ceilings.

3. High level of hygiene. There is no air circulation, thus it is possible to prevent the formation of drafts.

4. Thermal gear is carried out convection, that is, through heat release. Thus, it is possible to accelerate the process of heating the floor.

5. The air in the room is not overdried.

6. Installation of a water -based warm floor does not spoil the appearance of the room. All communications are hidden.

7. It is economically advisable to install warm floors, since it is possible to save from 25 to 40 % of the cost of providing heating.

However, all these advantages work only if thermal losses in the room do not exceed one hundred watts per square meter. In addition, there are restrictions on the installation of warm water floors in multi -storey buildings. It is necessary to equip a special screed that will ensure the correct functioning of the warm floor system.

The cost of installation work and their complexity is much higher than when installing a conventional heating system. There are restrictions on the finishing of the warm floors. Given all the disadvantages and advantages of underfloor heating, the issue of their installation must be solved individually, in relation to the characteristics of the premises and the material budget for its organization.

DIY warm floor - preparatory work

Before starting the installation of any warm floor system, it is necessary to carefully prepare the surface. First of all, the dismantling of the old flooring is carried out, then the floor is aligned. It is allowed to have minimal differences on the surface. Otherwise, you need to equip a new screed.

If the flooring meets all the requirements and norms for its organization, then first of all, waterproofing must be laid. To fix the waterproofing material, use a special ribbon. With its help, it is possible to compensate for the expansion of the material when exposed to high temperature.

Please note that if the warm floor system is multi -circuit, then the installation of this tape is also installed between each contour. In order to avoid thermal losses from the floor, before starting work, it is recommended to insulate it. For these purposes, material in the form of foamed polyethylene, which has a foil coating on the one hand, is suitable. If installation work is carried out in the apartment, then the flooring with polystyrene foam is enough.

If the apartment is on the ground floor, while under it there is an unheated basement, then you will need to perform a more significant thermal insulation. First, expanded clay is poured on the floor, and then the polystyrene polystyrene foam is installed. The option of using special insulation, which is laid under warm floors, is possible. The insulation is covered with a reinforcing mesh, with its help, a screed is performed. A pipe, stripes or clips is also installed on the net. The option of using a screed made of plastic is possible.

The quality of operation of the warm floor directly depends on the correctness of the calculations for its arrangement. The power and number of pipes installed on the floor should be determined individually in the ratio with the area of \u200b\u200bthe room and thermal losses.

Warm floor in the house with your own hands - organization technology

X-L Pipe allows you to combine two water floor systems and practically no disadvantages. The water floor has a good energy intensity. Water is a good source of heat transfer, while the heat for a long time persists in water.

However, for constant circulation of liquid, the system requires special equipment. It requires a small room for its installation, as well as boiler equipment that provides heating.

Electric floors differ in the speed of heating. However, the cable cooling occurs as quickly as its heating. The equipment is required to have a powerful power supply system.

The infrared warm floor is installed quite simply, just roll out the film on the surface. At the same time, it is subjected to multiple use. To adjust the operation of the system, a special device is used. However, this heating system has a high electricity consumption. Among the shortcomings of the infrared warm floor, we note:

• complexity and high cost of installation work;
• high cost of operation, increasing electricity costs;
• Fast cooling.

.X-L pipe allows you to combine all the advantages of the above systems. Thus, one product contains almost all options for organizing a warm floor. The product has the shape of a pipe made of polyethylene, inside which there is a heat -intensive fluid and an element for its heating. These elements in the form of a cathode and anode contain semi -romance threads, which provide a very rapid heating under voltage. In order to compensate for the expansion of the liquid during heating on the pipe there is an element in the form of a compartment, inside which there are soft balls. Thus, it is possible to avoid transmission of the voltage to the surface of the walls of the pipe. The life of this system is more than sixty years.

Among the distinctive features of the heating system of this type, we note:

1. In order to warm the coolant fluid, you should pump it according to the system. The system does not need the installation of a boiler, collector and pumping equipment.

2. The interval between heating is about four hours.

3. The system is ease of maintenance and ease of repair, if necessary.

4. The heating system does not need additional calculations, all the equipment is easily combined with each other.

However, to install such a heating system, the presence of a screed with a thickness of 4 cm is required.

DIY warm floor installation is performed in relation to the recommendations from the manufacturer. Performing work is similar to the installation of flexible pipes. Initially, the floor surface should be prepared for work. To arrange the screed, it is recommended to use foam concrete. A foil substrate with heat -reflecting characteristics is laid on the base. Next, you should cover the floor with a reinforcing welded grid. When using only black reinforcement, the laying of the grid is laid on top. The pipe is laid on the surface of special fasteners, in the form of a snail or zig-zag. The interval between pipe laying is 25-30 cm.

Please note - distortion, twisting or bends in the pipe laying places are unacceptable.

Each end of the pipe should be displayed into the inside of the sealed box of the distributor, which is configured with the system. A warm floor for tiles with your own hands is mounted exactly in compliance with all recommendations from the manufacturer. For additional maintenance and protection of the box, waterproofing tape is applied to it.

On the final part of the cathode and anode element there is a wire that leads them to the source of electricity. After the installation work is performed, the lighthouses are installed, the laying of the screed is laid, a special solution is used for these purposes in which there are additives. In order to accelerate the process of drying the concrete solution in the winter, it is allowed to launch the system in average temperature mode.

The tile laying of the tiles with hands is carried out after checking the performance of the finished coating. The place of installation of the distributor box should be determined in advance. Since it should be provided with constant access. Cable regulators should be installed in a convenient place.

It is recommended to use the services of specialists to maintain this warm floor system. To carry out repair work, a thermal agent is pumped out, the liquid is at this time in a special pump. These preventive work is carried out every 10-15 years.

The cost of the heating system X-L PIPE is quite high. However, the duration and quality of operation of the equipment is fully paid off. Since only one manufacturer produces these systems, it has no analogues. The price of the installation of a warm floor, without preliminary preparation with the screed is from six dollars per square meter.

A warm floor at hand of this type is used both as the main source of heating and as an additional one. These underfloor systems are widespread in Korea. They are installed both in residential buildings and in public premises in the form of schools and hospitals. This is due to the following advantages:

• low cost of installation work;
• low energy consumption;
• Optimal heat transfer indicators.

For the installation of a warm floor of this type, it is not necessary to obtain permission from specialized structures. The system is installed both in private houses and in apartments.
