Insufficient work of public utilities in the autumn and winter often leads to instability of the temperature regime in the room. This can affect the health of small children and the elderly. Therefore, the installation of heated floors in a house or apartment can be a relevant solution to the problem.
With proper observance of the installation technology, heat and noise insulation characteristics are significantly improved, uniform heating of the air is ensured, and money is saved on heating. In addition to installation, another important issue is the correct choice of the type of heated floors.
Systems of this type are divided into two main groups - water and electric floors. In the first case, such structures are a pipe that is filled with cement and provides circulation of hot water from the heating boiler. Water floors are used mainly in private houses.
The choice of electric underfloor heating implies the following classification:
This is explained by the rising cost of electricity and the relative cheapness of gas, firewood, coal and other fuels. However, before choosing this floor format, you should take into account the following features of heated floors:
It is also necessary to take into account the high inertia. If the main method of obtaining heat in the house is water heating with an automatic boiler, then floors of this type will definitely be advantageous. Otherwise, the heating temperature will need to be regulated independently. As for electric floors, the regulation system allows flexible use of their operating mode.
The efficiency of the equipment and the quality of air heating in the room are usually assessed taking into account three main parameters - the amount of operating costs, the cost of purchasing materials and installation, the results of the device's operation.
What to choose - cable or infrared film?
Infrared floors are compact, but they only allow outdoor installation. This is explained by the fragility of bitumen insulation, which is subject to the slightest mechanical impact. In addition, the film surface is characterized by insufficient adhesion to adhesives and screeds. Cable floors are universal, providing decent strength and wear resistance.
Heating efficiency
Film options provide lightning-fast heating. But only 50% of such products provide for compliance with the operating period declared by the manufacturer.
Cable floors heat up more slowly, but retain heat evenly and stably. With their help, the entire area of the room is heated, and not just the area above the system.
Installation process
In terms of ease of installation, infrared film takes first place - it is simply laid directly under linoleum or other covering. In second place are cable structures in the form of heating mats of a certain size. Thin cables laid in tile adhesive require the skills of the master. The last place is occupied by cables in a screed - due to the large amount of work and time.
Safety
Infrared film is considered the safest. Mats and cable materials also mostly do not provide for dangerous situations - if the integrity of the floor covering is not violated. The same can be said about the cable in the screed, which also has additional protection.
