One of many heating systems of industrial premises, houses or apartment is a warm electric floor. This is a built -in design, the heating element of which is a conductive cable. Verification of its performance is carried out by a tester after performing work on the device of screed. But before that, it is important to properly assemble and configure the warm floor system. You will find our recommendations for the installation and diagnosis of this type of heating in this article.
1
In the work, the electric floor is a large panel emitting heat in terms of the volume of the entire room. This creates a soft and comfortable heating, the temperature of which can be changed by means of a thermostat installed on the wall.
2
The heating element of the warm floor is an electric conductor with great resistance, which is heated when current passes through it. Systems in the form of special mats are often used, where heating elements are laid on a heat -resistant net and fixed with a ribbon made of special material.
3
In order to avoid refusals in the work of a warm floor, before its installation, you need to verify the reliability of the electrical wiring and its ability to withstand additional load. The rational placement of elements of the electric floor does not imply their presence in the sections of the apartment under the placed furniture.
4
The heating cable is laid 5 cm below the level of the screed, raising the floor. This must be taken into account so as not to create extra steps and obstacles to the door opening in the room. Heating mats do not require the screed and are laid under the tile through a layer of special glue.
5
When laying the cable, it is necessary to observe its step 11-15 cm. The temperature sensor is placed between the cable veins of the warm floor.
6
The choice of the power of the heating element depends on the alleged operating mode of the heating system. Therefore, you need to decide in advance whether you need severe heating or comfortable heat. The working capacity of the cable is 100-160W/m2.
7
The electric floor system is installed only on dry concrete preparation, which undergoes complete polymerization within a month.
8
When checking the parameters of the heating cable of the floor, their value must correspond to standard indicators. This suggests that the heating element is installed correctly and the system can be operated in the selected mode.
9
The installation of the floor system is advisable to be done with the simultaneous compilation of the layout of the heating element. It should notes the walls of the room with the attachment of the location of the cable joints. The scheme may be needed to quickly find the place of damage to the floor element or to prevent its damage during construction work.
That's all. We hope that now you can correctly assemble and check the electric floor for your home. See you!
