Radiant floor without ties with their own hands

Radiant floor without ties installed in the premises where the concrete pouring is difficult or impossible, for example, in houses with wooden beams, with a small room height, the device is not designed for conventional underfloor heating or in rooms in which the delivery of concrete is impossible.

Advantages of water underfloor heating without a concrete screed:

• ease of design that allows it to lay on any ceilings;
• small floor thickness does not introduce major changes in the useful height of the room;
• The possibility of laying topcoat immediately after the floor heating device, it is not necessary to wait for the concrete maturation;
• Minimum basis.It can be as concrete and wooden flooring.

Materials for laying underfloor heating screeds without

water floor heating system without a tie involves laying heating pipes on polystyrene or wooden base with special grooves using metal heat distribution plates.On top of the pipe is covered with moisture-insulating substrate and placed Finish: carpet, tiles, parquet, laminate.

Pipes for grazing the floor can be made of copper, polypropylene or polyethylene.Preference is often given to the latest version of the simplicity of the styling, low price, resistance to aggressive environments and long service life.In a system assembled from plastic tubes, it is possible to use not only water but also any antifreeze - they do not have destructive action on the pipe.

polystyrene plates provides sub-floor insulation and prevents heat loss downwards.Furthermore, it provides the convenience of laying pipes: grooves or projections on its upper part allows to lay pipes with no additional step necessary markings and fix them.Between a plate attached with the castle.plate size - 500h1000 mm.

Wooden modules OSB or particle board with channels for pipes.They placed metal plates on top which makes installation of pipes.The modules are of width plates 13, 18 or 28 cm - size is selected depending on the pitch of laying pipe.

heat distribution plates are made of aluminum or galvanized steel, have a groove for laying pipes required diameter and stiffeners.The flat side of the plate is directly adjacent to the substrate and the topcoat, redistributes the heat on its lower surface and heats it.

methods of laying the water circuit

Before laying, it is necessary to draw a layout of pipes in the room.Typically, each room is connected to a separate circuit, the pipe while more reliably used whole, without connections.The circuit is usually carried out in a spiral pattern (Figure 1), snake (Figure 2) or double snake (Figure 3).Contour "snake" - the most easy-to-install and cost-effective for the flow of material, but due to the cooling of coolant possible temperature changes in different areas of the room.Therefore, this method of laying path is used only in small areas where the coolant does not have time to cool significantly.

After the plan is necessary to define the step of laying the basis of the project requirements.For different types of foundations step may be different.

floor laying on polystyrene basis

Polystyrene - is familiar to all foam.It has good heat and sound insulating properties, does not rot and retains its properties for a long time.

1. polystyrene plates are available with a basic 30 mm thick.If calculations require a large thickness, pre-insulated subfloor with additional polystyrene plates.
2. If polystyrene foundation laid directly on the subfloor, it is necessary to align, remove any debris, eliminate differences and mobility base.
3. Stack polystyrene base - plate with grooves, straight and turning, following the layout plan.These plates are produced at step 150 and 300 mm.The plates are bonded together by a snap lock.
4. If you are using universal plate with bosses, pipe laying circuit can it can be more difficult for the convenience of mark marker.The grooves
5. aluminum plates are placed, and in which - a pipe loop in accordance with the laying-up.
6. plates can be laid on top of the substrate and topcoat - parquet, laminates.If the coating is selected tile, it is necessary to lay under dry screed - chipboard, plywood or moisture-resistant drywall.

nastilnyj Wooden floor heating

most often satisfied with this floor in wooden houses.Wooden system can be assembled both on the basis of special modules and on the basis of the rack.Modular laying method involves the use of ready-made modules from wood board with grooves for pipe laying.Rack and pinion system is performed with the help of boards or slats.

1. Wooden modules can be laid directly on the joists at 600 mm between the joists is necessary to lay the waterproofing and insulation.The modules are placed at intervals of 20 mm, necessary to compensate for thermal expansion.The modules interlock with each other using a standard snap lock.
2. to rack method need flooring sub-floor.Slats placed at a distance sufficient to accommodate the pipe at a certain distance in accordance with the selected loop.
3. When installing modules or racks comply with pre-configured layout plan.On
4. prepared with slots system units placed metal plates, and in which - a pipe.
5. solid finishes at least 10 mm can be laid directly on top of the metal plates, placing them on a soft substrate for soundproofing.
6. for laying tiles or linoleum warm wooden floor you need to prepare: put metal plates on top of drywall, plywood, particle board, fix them, putty joints.Stacking the coating are conventional manner.

Warm grazing the floor, made using polystyrene or wooden modules, provides not only space heating, and soundproofing.His term of service depends on the quality of installation and materials, so it is not necessary to save them.
