The device of a warm floor for an apartment

A warm floor is a device that provides heating of the floor covering. More recently, such flooring in the house or apartment was considered a luxury. Today the device of a warm floor in the habitation any person having an average level of the income can allow. Such a heating system is gaining momentum of popularity, as it has a number of advantages over traditional.

Everyone knows that the central heating system heats up only the air in the room, but if you just open the door, the heavy cold air will instantly enter the housing and fall down, therefore, it will cool the floor, which will bring you some discomfort. Moreover, unlike radiators and convectors, the warm floor does not dry the air, thus does not provoke the development of respiratory diseases. It should be noted that the uniformity of heating the room with a warm floor covering is much higher than that of traditional batteries. Still the device of a warm floor has one important plus - you select the heating temperature yourself.

Such a system can be heated by both water supply and electricity. The principle of the device in the first case is the constant circulation of heated water. The device of the water-heated floor includes heat-transfer media, distribution, prefabricated collectors and polymer pipes. The collector for a warm floor is responsible for the uninterrupted circulation of hot water.

The principle of the electrical 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 mats for the warm floor. 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 electrical heating system will be optimally mounted under the ceramic tile, as it is a good conductor of heat. Moreover, if the cable under the ceramic tiles is damaged, your floor is safe.

The principles of action for types of warm floor are different, which can not be said about the cost of their installation. So, the price for the device of a warm floor, heating which is carried out at the expense of an electricity, is approximately similar to installation of a warm water floor. Many save on installation and lay the warm floor yourself. However, the price of the slightest mistake can lead to serious consequences, therefore it is better to entrust this work to professionals and electricians.

Warm floors - heating system, working on the principle of low-temperature radiation, distributed throughout the room, giving heat to objects. It serves only to maintain the specified temperature regime 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, and also on the quality thermal insulation that allows reducing the percentage of heat loss.
In the Internet, in newspapers and magazines, many companies offer their professional services for installing warm floors.
