Warm floor is modern equipment, which is intended both for creating a comfortable stay in a separate area of the room, and for additional heating of a private house. In order to install a warm house in your home, you must definitely use the services of professional specialists. If the installation of this device is incorrectly, it can lead to many unpleasant consequences, since the warm floor has several types intended for a certain flooring, and the price of the electric floor depends on its type, respectively.
Warm floor of water type
This type of system of the warm floor involves the installation of thin mounting tubes, through which hot water will pass. As a source of hot water, you can use either a central heating system or lead to a common riser. If you use central heating, then it is worth considering that the warm floor will warm only in the winter period. When using a common riser, heating can occur continuously at any time of the year.
It is recommended to install a warm water -type floor in suburban and private houses, where when installing on a large area, you can notice a significant savings in the cost of heating the house. It is especially convenient to use it if heating is carried out in the house using a gas heating boiler. The process of installing a water -type warm floor system itself takes a lot of time and the most time -consuming. For apartments, you should not use a water warm floor, since you will not notice saving on heating. It is best to install a warm floor of an electric type in apartments.
Type of electric warm floor
The installation of an electric warm floor should be carried out only when repairing the base of the floor. This system is installed in the screed during the black alignment of the base. The temperature regime sensor is also installed on the floor, and then, all the elements are filled with screed. After the base of the floor is ready to put furniture in the room. But, before setting heavy furniture, you need to wait for time, about a month to completely dry the screed.
Type of electric warm floor, which is installed in a layer of tile floor
There are rooms where the use of screed is simply not permissible. Therefore, an alternative option is the installation of a warm floor in a layer of tile glue. Only instead of heating cables a special mat is laid, which is also heated. Then, after laying it, a layer of adhesive solution and mastic is applied. Unlike the screed, the floor rises not by 5-10 cm, but by several millimeters. After the glue solution is applied, the tile is laid.
This type of electric warm floor is installed if very low ceilings are present in the apartment. It is especially suitable for a bath or toilet, since you can’t raise the surface of the floor there.
Type of warm floor using laminate flooring
Laminate manufacturers began to produce panels with glued heating elements. This floor covering after connecting the panels can be heated after connecting to the mains. But, the fact is that when installing the laminate, a substrate is laid, which will not allow full heat to the room. Therefore, few people use this type of warm floor, since the heating system contradicts the conditions of the flooring of the flooring.
