Warm floor - a device that provides underfloor heating . More recently, such flooring in a house or apartment was considered a luxury. Today, anyone with an average income can afford a floor heating device in their home. Such a heating system is gaining momentum in popularity, as it has a number of advantages over traditional.
Everyone knows that the central heating system heats only the air in the room, but as soon as you open the door, the heavy cold air instantly enters the housing and goes down, therefore, it cools the floor, which will bring you some discomfort. Moreover, unlike radiators and convectors, a warm floor does not dry the air, thereby not provoking the development of respiratory diseases. It should be noted that the uniformity of heating a room with a warm floor covering device is much higher than heating from traditional batteries. Another device underfloor heating has one important plus - you choose the heating temperature yourself.
Such a system can be heated by both water supply and electricity. The principle of operation of the device in the first case is the constant circulation of heated water. The device of a water heat-insulated floor includes heat carriers, distribution, prefabricated collectors and polymer pipes. The collector for the warm floor is responsible for the uninterrupted circulation of hot water.
The principle of operation of the electric surface heating system is the use of electricity. Such a system consists of a cable connected to a thermostat, which, in turn, supplies power to the floor mats. These mats are a kind of thin cable system laid under the screed.
To properly mount everything, you should carefully study the device of the warm floor. It is important to know that the electric heating system will be optimally mounted for ceramic tiles, since it is a good conductor of heat. Moreover, if the cable under the ceramic tile is damaged, your floor is safe.
The operating principles of different types of underfloor heating are different, which cannot be said about the cost of their installation. So, the price for a heated floor device, which is heated by electricity, is approximately similar to the installation of a warm water floor. Many save on installation and lay a warm floor on their own. However, the price of the slightest mistake can lead to serious consequences, therefore it is better to entrust this work to professionals, electricians.
Warm floors - a heating system that works on the principle of low-temperature radiation, distributed throughout the room, which gives heat to objects. It serves only to maintain a given temperature and is used in rooms with basic heating.
During installation, the heat capacity of the floor is taken into account, depending on the strength of the screed on which the warm floor is laid, as well as on high-quality thermal insulation, which reduces the percentage of heat loss.
On the Internet, in newspapers and magazines, many companies offer their professional services for installing underfloor heating.
