The technology of installation of water-heated floors - briefly about the principles of arrangement of
systems. Even the climate comfort is immeasurably better, there are no drafts, higher efficiency of heat consumption. The listed advantages are already enough to understand why the technology of installing water-heated floors causes such increased interest and is so widely in demand. Indeed, water as a coolant is preferable. It is easy to give and gain temperature, cheaper.
During the operation, correctly arranged water heating systems of the floor can withstand up to 50 years of continuous operation, are easily repaired if necessary. In general, the installation scheme of the water-heated floor includes a prepared base, on it a wiring for the movement of the coolant( often water) is carried out through the heat and waterproofing system on a special reinforcing mesh.
On top of the screed is made of concrete. Each of the listed components of the whole system has its own purpose. So, the task of thermal insulation is the direction of heat in one direction, namely, in the space of the heated room. As a rule, in order to achieve this goal, plates made of expanded polystyrene of high density, with a total thickness of up to two hundred millimeters, are taken as material.
Warm water floor with our own hands - we prepare the room
The technology of installing a water-heated floor is good in that it allows you to carry out work not only during the construction phase, but also in an already inhabited residential building. Of course, when they are carried out, there is a need to clear premises, which causes some inconvenience to tenants. But, however, the problems are comparable to the usual repair work.
However, after carrying out the device of such heating, the benefits are quite appreciable. Therefore, all and seek( and especially residents of private houses) to acquire such a miracle-sex.
Beginning to make water-heated floors with your own hands, you need to determine the required amount of materials for each room where you plan to install such heating. As already clear from the preliminary general description, for the construction of such a "sandwich" floor will need a film of polyethylene, a thickness of at least a millimeter.
It closes all the grounded base, cleaned from sharp small objects and stones. A special tape , with a width of at least twelve centimeters and thickness of eight to ten millimeters is vertically installed on the perimeter of the room. Its purpose is understandable and so, but it is necessary to say it is the compensator of thermal expansions of the floor. Therefore, its installation is necessary.
Installation of a warm water floor - what to do after basic training?
Continuing the installation of a warm water floor, we lay insulation materials. From the qualitative performance of the work at this stage, the quality of space heating and the heat consumption, which should go up, largely depends. On the expanded polystyrene plates the mesh reinforcement is rolled out. Already it is laying and distribution of heating pipes. Tubes of seventeen to twenty millimeters are used. They can be polyethylene, metal-plastic and even copper, and must be attached to the grid.
After installation and crimping, installation of all components of the system is carried out: mixing, collection, etc. The mortar is tightened after the final installation, under the working pressure of the coolant. Tests of the system of temperature control sensors pass already after the cement screed has solidified completely. As you can see, the warm water floor itself does not cause much complexity, the installation of supply and regulation systems will require some qualification and additional skills.
If necessary, can give some information on how to properly install the floor heating water, video in this article. Details and details also depend on the materials and components used. On the sites of the companies-manufacturers, their descriptions and recommendations for application are widely presented, as a rule, they are sufficient for initial acquaintance of this.
