Heating of the house or apartment with the help of the "warm floors" system, a new way of heating housing. Principle water warm floor It does not differ from the radiator.
The coolant is supplied by pipes laid under the floor covering. The main advantage of such a system can be considered a more uniform and comfortable heat distribution. Costs under the right calculation will be 30% less radiator heating.
Modern technologies and materials allow you to quickly mount the system. For circulation of the coolant, pipes made of copper, cross-linked polyethylene or metalplastic. Before laying, it is necessary to align the basis of the floor to prevent the height drops. The pipes themselves are placed on a special insulating surface, with a reflective layer. Then the reinforcement grid is located on which the pure screed is applied. The greatest thermal conductivity has a sexual coating of ceramic tiles or laminated materials.
In buildings with wooden floors, use the system of modular or floor laying. For this, either chipboard plates are needed, with ready-made grooves for pipes, or additional installation of the rush system. In such cases, aluminum plates with grooves on pipe diameter are used for uniform heat distribution.
The circuit of laying the pipeline can be made in the form of a "snake" or spiral. Spiral laying, despite its complexity, allows you to achieve a more uniform distribution of heat on the squares of more than 25 m2. In both cases, the distance between the pipes should be within 200mm. Average? It is necessary 5 m pipes on 1m2 area.
The warm water floor system is characterized by a low (up to 50 ° C) of the carrier temperature. Adjustment
temperature parameters are carried out by the mixing unit. Equipped with a temperature valve and circulating pump, it adjusts the carrier supply from the main source, and ensures water pumping through the system.
For a more accurate calculation of the system parameters, it is necessary to refer to the specialists. They will also help you choose the equipment of the necessary power, will provide installation services. Properly arranged "warm floor", will provide not only comfortable temperature, but also a tangible savings of the family budget.
