Cable heated floors provide optimal heating compared to elements of centralized heating systems. In the latter case, the heated air from the radiators is directed by streams to the ceiling, after which it falls down in the form of a kind of draft.
Electric cable warm floor creates conditions under which relative coolness is felt at head level, and closer to the floor the temperature is much higher, which is considered more comfortable for a person. During the operation of the system, air flows are evenly distributed over the available areas.
What are cable underfloor heating?
Electric heating systems consist of conductors, a heat insulator, special electronic blocks, with the help of which the temperature is regulated. During installation, the prepared floor surface is covered with a heat insulator with a reflective layer upwards. Next, a specialized mounting tape is laid, on top of which a heating cable is placed. The whole structure is poured with a screed with a thickness of 3 cm or more.
Managed by cableheated floors with a thermostat, which is installed in the room in accordance with the requirements of the attached technical documentation. Temperature sensors and directly heating wiring are connected to this element of the system.
Benefits
Cable floor heating has the following advantages:
- Installation is carried out in a screed. Therefore, the system does not take up extra free space.
- Cable floor heating does not require maintenance during operation.
- During the operation of the system there are no harmful radiation, the air is not dried.
- Connected to a standard electrical outlet.
- It is possible to set the desired temperature.
- No extraneous noise.
- The system is well protected from damage.
- Heating occurs evenly from floor to ceiling.
Flaws
Like any other system, the cable floor has several disadvantages. The main one can be considered an increased consumption of electricity. In addition, before installing heating, you need to make sure that the wiring in the house will withstand additional loads.
In the end
Installation of a system of cable underfloor heating looks like an extremely profitable initiative against the background of the operation of stationary heaters, convectors, fan heaters, standard heating radiators. Since warm air rises from below, a person feels complete comfort and coziness even in the most inclement weather.
