Installation of an infrared film warm floor with a video example.
You should calculate the required area before purchasing this type of floor. Infrared film does not fit in the places of furniture or decor elements. Preliminary outline of the layout of the film and electrical wiring. It is also taken into account that in the place of the proposed location of the temperature sensor there should be no drafts and other factors locally changing the temperature. Installation of a film warm floor is quick and simple, site repair of apartments on their own it will show.
Clean the floor thoroughly before laying. Then lined with thermo insulating coating. The choice depends on what will be on top of the infrared film. If the laminate, linoleum or carpet - should be laid penotherm or isolon, if the tile - fit the sheets of the technical plug.
Now proceed to laying the actual infrared film. The length of the strip of film can be adjusted by simply cutting it into special dividing strips marked by the manufacturer or between individual heating strips. The circumcised sides need to be isolated. This is done using a normal mounting tape. If the film is cut at the places specified by the manufacturer, then only collectors are isolated( copper strips on the sides).If the cut passes between the individual heating bands, then the cut is insulated across the entire width. The film strips should not overlap or overlap each other.
Wiring is better to stack in specially made strobes. Or you can do with external wiring. Use copper wire with a diameter of 2 to 4 mm. We fix the wires in the contact clamps, and we fix the clamps on the copper collector strips. Strips of infrared film must be connected in a strictly parallel circuit. Place the installation of the infrared film warm floor should be insulated with tape tape based on bitumen. Now we connect the temperature sensor and isolate it. We connect the thermostat. It is also worthwhile to provide for the installation of residual current devices in the event of a short circuit.
To test the system, turn it on 30 degrees - nowhere should there be sparking and overheating at the junction points. The tester measures the total resistance of the system. It should be a multiple of the resistance of the film itself( specify in the instructions) divided by the metric of the stacked film. If it is much larger - it is necessary to recheck the correctness of the connection. From above, sheets of polyethylene film for waterproofing should be laid. The edges of the sheets should overlap somewhere 20 cm. We glue them with adhesive tape. Now you can lay the main floor covering.
