Underfloor heating - a device that provides underfloor heating. More recently, such floor coverings in a house or apartment were considered a luxury. Today, the installation of a warm floor in your home can be afforded by any person with an average income level. Such a heating system is gaining momentum in popularity, as it has a number of advantages over the traditional one.
Everyone knows that the central heating system heats only the air in the room, but as soon as you open the door, heavy cold air will instantly enter the housing and go down, therefore, cool the floor, which will bring you some discomfort. Moreover, unlike radiators and convectors, underfloor heating does not dry the air, thus it does not provoke the development of respiratory diseases. It should be noted that the uniformity of heating the room with a warm floor covering device is much higher than heating from traditional batteries. Another underfloor heating device has onean important plus - you choose the heating temperature yourself.
Such a system can be heated by both water supply and electricity. The principle of operation of the device in the first case is the constant circulation of heated water. The device of a water heated floor includes heat carriers, distribution, prefabricated collectors and polymer pipes. The collector for the warm floor is responsible for the uninterrupted circulation of hot water.
The electric surface heating system works by using electricity. Such a system consists of a cable connected to a thermostat, which, in turn, supplies power to the mats for underfloor heating. These mats are a kind of thin cable system laid under the screed.
To properly mount everything, you should carefully study the underfloor heating device. It is important to know here that the electrical heating system will be optimally mounted under ceramic tiles, as it is a good conductor of heat. What's more, if a cable breaks under ceramic tiles, your floor is safe.
The principles of action for types of underfloor heating are different, which cannot be said about the cost of their installation. So, the price for a warm floor device, which is heated by electricity, is approximately similar to the installation of a warm water floor. Many save on installation and lay a warm floor on their own. However, the price of the slightest mistake can lead to serious consequences, so it is better to entrust this work to professionals,electricians.
Heated floors - a heating system operating on the principle of low-temperature radiation distributed throughout the room, giving off heat to objects. It serves only to maintain the set temperature and is used in rooms with main heating.
During installation, the heat capacity of the floor is taken into account, depending on the strength of the screed on which the underfloor heating is laid, as well as on high-quality thermal insulation, which reduces the percentage of heat loss. On the Internet, in newspapers and magazines, their professional many companies offer installation services for underfloor heating.
