How to make a warm electric floor

Along with heating radiators and air conditioning systems, the warm floor plays a not a small role in the formation and maintenance of a comfortable temperature in any residential room. If you need to call a specialist for mounting the air conditioner, then you can put the warm floor on your own. About how to do it correctly, written below.

In order for the selected floor to fit for heating the room you need, it is necessary to clearly represent its device and the principle of operation. All warm floors operating from the electrical network are designed and sold in the form of a constructor, which includes three main elements:

The heating mat or film presented in the form of a canvas, inside the heating element is located. The width of the canvas can reach 25 meters, which allows you to heat the floor of almost any room.
The thermostat is a device that allows you to adjust the temperature of the heating element.
The temperature sensor is necessary for the proper operation of the thermostat - it reads information about the temperature of the floor and transmits it into the control unit.

Warm floors produced by the Norwegian company Nexans, Danish Oj Electronics and Handy Heat, as well as Czech Fenix, have proven well. Products manufactured by domestic "Teplux-M", "Engineering Systems" and "Terms" also use good demand from buyers.

The laying of the floor must be preceded by measuring processes - calculate what area you need to heat how the heating element will be laid and in which place is better to position the thermostat. To the place of its installation, do a bar, which in the future you will use for laying wires going to the temperature sensor and heating elements. Then free the room from all the furniture and dismantle the old floor covering. Carefully clean the floor from the construction trash and align it with a screed.

Screed, needless for normal functioning warm floor it has row specific requirements. Plates overlapping close at aid waterproofing sheets, manufactured from polyethylene, then squeeze on them styrofoam. Ideally suitable sheet styrofoam thick 2,5–3 santimeter. Above shipping heat sir film and metal grid and only after of this pour screw. Thickness her should to be not less 5 santimeters. If do her thinkish – will appear probability togo, what she cracks. Compliance these requirements necessary for prevent dispersion heat, allocated heating element your his warm floor.

After the screed finally freezes, proceed to laying the thermal mat. Rolled it all over the area of \u200b\u200bthe room. If you need to change the direction of its location, cut the grid gently. Do it extremely carefully, since the insulation damage can cause the breakdown of the entire canvas. Rolled mat to secure with a tape or glue for tiles.

The order of laying a film warm floor is not much different from the complex of works carried out with the floors from mats, but there are several features. To increase the efficiency of such a floor directly under it, it is necessary to be made layer of thermal insulation coated with lavsan or polypropylene. Stripes with a heating element lay parallel to each other, to connect them to each other, use the wires and crimping connectors, moving along with the heating element in the kit.

After laying the thermoelement, go to the installation of the temperature sensor and the thermostat. By installing them, check the functioning of the system as a whole. If everything works - proceed to laying outdoor coverage - your warm floor is ready.

Now you know all the rules and subtleties of the installation of warm electric floor and without much difficulty can perform these works with your own hands.
