Infrared warm floor under the tile - installation of modern type heating

Modern industry today offers a variety of options for the homeowner heating device of his house, from which is not easy to choose the most suitable and profitable for energy-consuming characteristics.However, the selection of the most modern heating technology is almost always justified, because all the technologies developed in our time, have low power consumption and high capacity for room heating, ie high efficiency.One such technology is the warm infrared (film) the floor of the installation is under the tile, and today we'll talk.

Advantages infrared film floor

Infrared heated floor is characterized by the following features:

• more than 90% of the radiation occurs at a wavelength of 5 to 20 microns, which passes freely through the tile and screed heating is not only space, but also the bodyperson;
• temperature for heating by 4-5 degrees below the infrared radiation than traditional heating, thus the person feels as comfortable;
• room heating is improved by secondary convection already hot objects;
• indoor air is clean and fresh;
• increases the concentration of negatively charged ions in the room 4 times;
• no noise, dust, vibration and odor;
• minimal electromagnetic radiation.

What, though, with the advantages of the method of heating, we have decided, and now move on to the details of the floor heating installation under tiles.

Mounting infrared floor heating

For installation under tile, we will need the following materials:

1. set of infrared film floor;
2. heat reflective material;
3. mounting grid, not conducting electric current;
4. wire;
5. directly ceramic tiles;
6. tile adhesive.

To begin, as usual preparing the floor for laying of all layers of floor heating: check it on the absence of irregularities, purify and dry.Then you must be determined to place the thermostat installation - remote temperature control of our underfloor heating.

first layer of heat reflective material is placed, then laid on top of him himself warm floor - infrared film.This phase of the work must be done with utmost care to avoid damaging the thin film.After that connect to each other infrared film sheets, and then the whole set to the thermostat.Particular attention should be paid to careful insulation film trim lines.

temperature sensor must be mounted in a corrugated tube between the first layer and the second tie to the temperature readings were without distortion.You can now mount the thermostat in the wall.Take the time to lay the next layer of the floor - to start to turn a warm floor in a test mode to check the touch its performance.It is better to fix the damage at this stage than to break the tiles on completion of works.So, all right, the film is heated - laid with the next layer, which is the mounting grid.

It is time to fill the primary tie - usually it is made of cement-sand mortar, not very thick.Screed should barely cover the film, or heating worsen.After drying screed will produce the last test the inclusion of infrared floor, and proceed directly to the laying of tiles.Tile is laid in the traditional way, which I have already mentioned in this article - if necessary, re-read.
