DIY warm floor installation

Warm floors are used in two ways: . As the main heating. 2. As additional, already to existing heating. The installation process of warm floors is determined as follows. It is necessary to free the room from furniture, dismantle the old floor and pour a cement screed with a thickness of 3 to 5cm. After drying the screed, the protective layer and thermal insulation are laid. Then lay out the heating cable. To save money cable in the location of the furniture, you can not lay. The cable is laid out in various ways, you can with a snake, a zigzag, a spiral, etc. D. The main thing is that the conditions of laying the cable are observed. He should not cross and touch each other.

Laying a cable is possible at a temperature of at least +5°WITH. At temperatures below +5°With the cable becomes tough. So that the cable is more flexible when laying, it can be included in the network for a while. For the subsequent measurement of the floor temperature, it is necessary to integrate the temperature sensor. It is mounted in a sleeve with a margin along the length of the wire. The cable is fixed using the mounting tape and poured with a solution. All the rules must be observed so that there are no voids near the cable. Until the cable dries completely, it should never be included in the network. After completely drying the cement screed, any floor covering can be laid down. The ends of the sensor are taken to the temperature controller. The cable is connected to the network through a starter or relay.
