How to make a warm floor in a private home - step by step instructions

the design and construction of a private house, you can choose the scheme of heating your home.One of the most popular in recent times means creating heat in a private home is a warm floor.It can act as a self-heating and may allow to get rid of bulky radiators.

In addition, the use of underfloor heating, as a self-heating type can significantly change the design of your home.Thus, floor heating can allow to create high windows in French style.

Creating a warm water floor in a private home can also significantly save on heating.The fact that the system of warm water floor heating allows to separately include each heating circuit.That is, the unused space you simply will not be heated.

Radiant floor heating is the most economical view, therefore, consider the question of how to do it in a private dwelling.

Work Plan

Before starting work on the installation of warm water floor, you need to plan where you have to identify all elements of the future of the heating system.

materials used

For installation of warm water floor in a private home, you will need the following materials:

1. insulation - usually Styrofoam plates.

2. Also, you will need a pipe for hot water heating.

3. also stocks a damper tape.

Preparation

surface is necessary to ensure that on the surface of your home there was a sharp inclines and debris.

Prepare the surface of the floor in the house

To start the installation of the system of warm water floor in a private home, you must first prepare the surface.It is necessary to work on the waterproofing, and then put on her mounting grid.

as waterproofing is possible to use a dense polyethylene, applying its overlapping bands.

Puts tight as polyethylene waterproofing

Along the edges of the premises must be placed damping tape.It is made of polymer foam, and prevents destruction of the linear distortion.

Then gidroizlyatsii layer stacked insulating layer.

usually used for such purposes in the foamed polymer material.

top of the thermal insulation layer is laid reinforcing mesh.It serves to hold the pipe with the coolant and also for reinforcing a concrete screed.

Installation of heating circuits

coolant pipes are attached to the mounting mesh with plastic collars, according to the selected layout pattern.Between the support straps to keep distance of 30-40 centimeters.

Pipes for underfloor heating are supplied in coils, and you can gradually during installation to choose any length you needs.

Connecting the heating circuit

In the place where the warm water pipe floor will go out of their concrete screed must be protected by means of special corners or bellows.

secured by over underfloor heating pipes

That's the way the contours look warm water floor, connected to the water distribution manifold.

supply pipe to the underfloor heating manifold

Before connecting the pipe is cut perpendicular to it, and then connect to the collector.

pipe connection to the manifold

At the end of the pipe connection is put on collapsible fitting.

At the end of the pipe fittings don

to the collector pipe is fixed cap nut.Which is tightened with a wrench.

balancing reservoir

work path system of warm water floor may have unequal lengths.Consequently, in each coolant circuit - that is, the hot water should be selected individually chosen pressure.The necessary pressure is set by balancing water reservoir system.To do this, the collector removed the protective caps and held control of the working pressure.

System testing water underfloor heating

Before you begin any of the concrete screed - warm water floor system must be checked for leaks.

Check the water floor heating system for leaks

If you run the installation of warm water floor in a private house in the winter, the tightness of the system can be checked by using a compressor and compressed air.

Once you're satisfied with the integrity of your system - you can start laying concrete screed.At the same floor water should remain under the working pressure.

device

concrete screed laid on top of the warm-water heating system is placed concrete screed or cement - sand screed, which after installation is leveled on beacons exposed long rule.

The minimum thickness of the concrete screed may not be less than 50 millimeters.
