2. The next step is roll on the smoothed surface of the thermally reflective material.
3. to the sheet insulation liquid nails, attach the infrared electric warm floor, remove it through a special cable wiring Stroebe to the thermostat.
4. directly on film floor can be placed temperature sensors, the wiring to which you want should be held in a protective corrugated tube.

5. Spend a floor test by connecting it to the network with a minimum load and gradually increasing it to the maximum.
6. Place on heated floor waterproof sheet.
7. Place on the film warm floor reinforcing mesh with a small step.
8. On the resulting structure can be glued the ceramic tile and porcelain tiles using a conventional procedure.

Electric floor heating cables from under the tiles with their hands

Cooking base

1. If the room does not plan to install an additional heat source other than warm floor, the base surface must be well insulated.This is especially true in the case, if your room is directly above an unheated room.
   

   insulation material

2. Prepare the surface, fill the large pits solution, cover the floor of soil solution to improve adhesion and prevent mold formation.
3. Place on the prepared cover Styrofoam sheets.It is desirable that they had metallizorovanny layer reflecting heat rays.
4. In conventional buildings for insulation as little as 30 mm plates, but if you warm up you balcony or loggia - use 50-mm plates, but if the soil is normal for your location - plate thickness shall not be less than 100 millimeters.
5. Attach the plate to the floor with screws, self-tapping screws.
6. top of insulation boards place the reinforcing mesh mounting, attach it with screws long long length with large washers, so as to create an additional fixture foamed polystyrene boards.

Measure out the heating cable

1. premises Plans for the calculation of required length of electric cable can be made to scale on graph paper.Note the drawing larger nonpaged furniture.
2. Based on the required heating power specified in the characteristics of the heating cable and departing at least 5 cm from the perimeter - Draw a layout of the heating cable.When calculating the cable length consider the sole or additional source of heat will warm your floor.
3. When calculating the required length and observe the characteristics of the cable.It is one conductor, which is connected to the network, or at both ends with two conductors - in this case it is connected to only one end of the wiring.

Cooking control equipment of electric underfloor heating

heat flux 1.Regulirovka issued an electrically heated floor thermostat is regulated.They come in different versions (electronic and mechanical) and design (overhead and recessed).

2. Place for placing the thermostat is selected in the vicinity of the main wiring.In that case, if the thermostat has a remote sensor - check the length of the cable, and select the location for the control unit.

3. Built-in thermostat is set to Stroebe, Stroebe fit in cable wiring and temperature sensor.

4. To protect the temperature sensor against external influences ties put it in a corrugated tube, the end of which is packed tightly with insulating tape.The extended portion of the sensor should be located about 40 cm from the wall.

Paving warm heating cable electric floor

1. The heating cable is fixed on the mounting grid for the selected circuit pads.Fix the heating cable clamps made of plastic.
2. Connect the thermostat to the heating element.Test it at the maximum output, bringing it to maximum.
3. Leave a heated floor in operation for some time.
4. Disconnect power electric heated floor.

laying tile on the floor warm electric

1. Place the heating cable on the second mounting grid.So you will be easier to lay tiles.
2. using conventional tile adhesive on the floor lay tile or granite.

In order to get acquainted with the procedure of laying an electric floor heating under the tiles with your hands, you can view an instructional video.
