Installation of floor heating under the linoleum

Create in the interior of the house optimal temperature mode enables radiant floor under the linoleum, the installation of which can be made with your own hands.

linoleum It is considered one of the most popular flooring that can be laid both on wood and on the concrete floor.

As is known, conventional radiators heat the apartment or house is not entirely uniform, and installation of floor heating allows to create in the interior of the optimal temperature conditions.

there are several species of warm floors To date, however, not every one is suitable for linoleum flooring due to the specific qualities of the latter.

addition, laying linoleum on top of floor heating has its own nuances and peculiarities.

Currently, the most common are infrared electric and water underfloor heating, each of which has both its advantages and disadvantages.

To put warm floor with your hands, you need to understand the characteristics of each floor heating and explore the specifics of linoleum.

more information about installing underfloor heating under the linoleum, described in the video posted below.

Specificity underfloor

In principle everything a warm floor can be either electric,or water, which in turn have several different varieties.

In the first case, the heat generated by the conversion of electricity into heat energy.It connects to the network feeding the house through a special relay that controls its operation.

In turn, the regeneration of the water floor heating, as the main source of heat is heated by water flowing through the pipe from the fixed heating system.

In this case, the water coolant circulates through the pipes, laid a special procedure.

And he and the other floor heating under certain conditions can be arranged under the linoleum.

In order to understand what a warm floor under the linoleum is the most optimal and effective, it is necessary to understand the intricacies of each of them.

should be noted that due to their design principle of water underfloor heating is most commonly used in private homes, in turn, electric infrared - is used in the flats.

Because the floor with water heating must be connected to the stationary heating system, making it impractical in the apartments.

Typically, the heating system, especially in private homes are not designed for the use of additional elements connected to it, and can simply not cope with the increased workload.

In apartment buildings of new construction, as well as private buildings, the heating system is arranged slightly different principle, and therefore the ability to install underfloor heating with water heating can be successfully applied.

It should also be borne in mind that the installation of the floor will have to reduce the height of the room, as it implies improvement ties.

should also be noted, and various inert, which have electric and water underfloor heating.The film has an infrared property more quickly warm up and cool down.

more slowly gaining the desired temperature and more slowly cooled in turn the water floor.In addition, a water-cooled floor safer for health than electric, which forms the radiation.

Choice linoleum

choose a warm floor under the linoleum, it is also important to decide on the kind of material is best to choose as a floor covering.

is now possible to choose linoleum, made from both artificial and natural materials.

When using material made from natural ingredients, you can be sure that this coating will have good water resistance and resistance to combustion.

Such linoleum is absolutely non-toxic and does not accumulate a property static electricity.His

substrate has a sufficient thickness, which is able to ensure the safety of the surface layer.

Under Infrared floor heating is best to choose a type of linoleum, which also lay just enough.

purchasing linoleum, made from natural ingredients, you should pay attention to what kind of material used for its support, and better if it will be executed as from natural ingredients.

It should be noted that in some cases one may use this type of flooring made of synthetic constituents.

Typically, artificial linoleum produced from various kinds of resins, polyvinyl chloride, polyester and so on, and in this case it is necessary to pay attention to the material from which it is made substrate.

If linoleum laid on an artificial basis, the substrate which is able to effectively resist the high temperatures, the operation of the floor heating it is necessary to constantly monitor the work.

is impossible to overheat linoleum, as might otherwise occur overheating, and it threatens the emergence of unpleasant smells and harmful, as well as a change in color on its front part.

When choosing linoleum should first pay attention to the material from which made its substrate.

Linoleum is made from artificial components better use of under floor heating with water coolant.

If the warm floor under the linoleum is made on the basis of water heating, it is first necessary to properly prepare the concrete floor in the room.

For this, all the base must be cleaned of dirt and debris, align, and then on top of it fit the special insulating layer that does not give heat to leave the room.

For these purposes, it is recommended to use either foam or special polystyrene plates.

The following cover the entire surface of the blister base durable plastic film and on the perimeter of the room to mount the damper strips.

After that is necessary to make the reinforcement with a special metal mesh, and then carry out installation of special trims for laying pipes.

Then with his hands being installed collector, which will be responsible for the distribution of the water flow and made installation of the mixing group.

After all the preparatory work carried out on the concrete base, begins the installation of pipes.They should be put in the form of a coil and secure the fixture.

You can do this by using special fastening clamps.

Once the pipes are stacked in sequence and are connected to a common system of pipes must be checked for leaks and their compounds.

For this, the system is filled with water under pressure.If the tests are passed without comment, then proceed to fill the main screed.

concrete floor is supposed to be flat and smooth.Next, the concrete itself is laid linoleum.

In order that the substrate material has adopted the correct form, it is recommended to start just to lay linoleum and turn on the heating system for two days.Only then finally secure the linoleum in place.

For more information on how to perform their own hands radiant floor heating, you can see in the video below.

While laying on the concrete subfloor film electric heating should be carefully prepared base.Ties should be completely cleaned of debris and dust and make the maximum level.

Thereafter, the laying of a special film with heat-reflecting properties.Mounted on this insulation to the base using an adhesive tape.

Then on top of it made laying the pre-trained heating elements themselves.

It should be controlled in order to contact the individual bands are not in contact with each other.

To further happened offset heating strips, they should be attached to the Draft the ground and it can be done by means of an adhesive tape or a stapler.

After that you should perform the output feeding all the wires and bring them to the power supply.

At the final stage of laying it is necessary to carefully check the reliability of fastening of all lead wires and insulation.

After the installation is fully implemented infrared film, it is necessary to establish a special governing relay and check the floor in the work.

further electrical strips on top of floor heating is laid PE film, which is to close completely the surface of the ground.

Electric underfloor heating in any case should not pour concrete screed.

film is recommended to lay on top of sheets of plywood or particle board, pre-treated with special protective structures.Only after this is done laying linoleum.

As in the case of water the floor, so that the substrate material has adopted the correct form, you must turn on the display for two days.

only after linoleum substrate will take the form of a base material is permanently fixed in place.

learn more details about how their own hands to make installation of electrical floor heating, it is possible, watching the video, which is available below.

Underfloor heating gives the opportunity to create in the house the most optimal temperature range.Laying on top of it is allowed to linoleum, but this must take into account the specifics of the material.

In any case, subject to certain rules and installation of floor heating technology, all the work can be done with your hands as soon as possible.
