Heating of the premises involves manyoptions. For a new house in 2-3 floors with concrete overlapping problems does not arise at all. If necessary, however, to heat a previously abandoned attic, which has been transformed under the influence of fashion into a residential attic, one must seriously work hard. Getting a dry warm floor in a wooden house is somewhat more difficult due to the lightweight design that is not capable of withstanding a lot of weight. The owners of prefabricated buildings face the same problem.
However, this is not a reason to deny yourselfthe pleasure of putting a comfortable and economical heating system instead of an expensive electric one. Many also stop the need for radiator heating to get warm floors. In fact, the water-heated floor is installed together with the radiator system to increase the heating rate of the room.
To obtain the desired result,correctly lay a water-heated wooden floor. The installation instruction recommends the use of special metal plates in this case. They are assembled together thanks to the convenient grooves. Pipes are mounted directly into the plate, where necessary grooves are provided. The design, in spite of its lightness, is distinguished by its high strength. The wooden system of the water-heated floor allows you to lay the floor covering immediately after installing the pipes. For residents of remote regions to purchase such a system - a great success. Most suppliers do not like to expand their range of goods, which are almost no demand. Do not forget about the high cost of the material.
Masters have long learned how to createquality products, to mount structures, replacing missing parts with improvised materials. The water-heated floor on the wooden floor can be laid using the principle of air insulation. Intermediate floors, filled with heat and sound insulation filler, keep the heat, not allowing it to penetrate to the lower floor. On the beams are laid a leveling layer of plywood or OSB.
The following element performs the distribution functionsheat and direction it in the right direction. It becomes aluminum foil. Preference is given to strong dense brands used in saunas or baths. Also it is necessary to take care of the waterproofing and vapor barrier of the structure. To improve the efficiency and safety of the system, laying a water-heated floor on a wooden floor, use a metal corrugated pipe. It is resistant to small movements and is able to compensate for inaccuracies made during installation.
Some wooden floors allowthe possibility of tightening. At the same time, their design load limits the thickness of its layer to 5 cm, and more often - up to 3 cm. Warm floors of water on the wooden floor are laid when there is a quality installed heat removal from the pipe. Following the standard principle of mounting the water floor, the missing thickness is compensated with foil. The foil is laid in a dense layer directly under the screed. An additional material that helps to evenly distribute heat in the structure is the reinforcing mesh, which simultaneously increases the strength of the screed. The screed can be poured only after laying pipes and filling them with water. All further work can be done only a month after this.
Warm floors "work" throughout the whole area of the house, thatallows not only to get a pleasant to the touch surface, but also to contribute to the overall heating of the dwelling. Studying how to make a warm floor in a wooden house with your own hands, the owner will first estimate the complexity of the installation and compare the economics of the water and electrical systems. The efficiency of full-fledged heating boilers is much higher than the electric floor heating, which tends to tip the scales against the latter.
With a huge number of positive feedback andRecommendations for a warm water floor have disadvantages. They are related to the peculiarities of exploitation. It is necessary to cover the floor covering with carpet, linoleum, as the floor immediately ceases to warm up qualitatively. When laying on the screed with the pipes of the tile, it is necessary to foresee that, due to the temperature drop, the glue can not withstand and crack. Another disadvantage is the high cost of the sexes, which is about 1500 rubles only for materials per 1 sq.m. The price together with the work is able to reach 3000 rubles per 1 sq.m.
Warm water floor in a wooden house with its ownhands can be mounted without problems if necessary materials are available, corresponding to the chosen method of installation. The basic set of components is as follows:
Warm floors of water on a wooden floor are allowedto install after the completion of work on the replacement of windows and doors in the room, finishing plastering works, removing plots for the subsequent connection of sewerage, water supply, electricity. Then, work is done on leveling the floor with the help of OSB boards or plywood. Elevation difference of 1 sq. Km. m for the heating system can not exceed 5 mm.
All thermal energy must be sent strictlyup. It is possible to avoid heat losses by properly made heat insulation. Warm water floor on the wooden floor with your own hands starts to be mounted taking into account the overlapping features. For interfloor overlap, 20 mm of heat-insulating material with a density of 25 kg per m3. For cold sheath thickness of insulationincreases to 50 mm at the same density. In this group of construction products, polystyrene in plates is very popular. Plates are laid on the entire surface of the floor, fastened together with special locks. When installing the water floor on a wooden surface it is recommended to use penofol coated with foil.
The pre-cleaned surface is laidwaterproofing and heat-insulating layers and reinforcing mesh. The latter should be raised 1.5 cm above the ground. The first pipe is connected to the supply manifold, then the laying process takes place in accordance with the intended scheme. When you select the "snake" scheme, the workflow is much simpler. Mount the warm water floor on the wooden floor with your own hands on this principle is not difficult, but in the future will have to face the difference in surface temperatures in different parts of the room.
A more labor-intensive layout scheme - a "spiral"many times justifies the efforts made during further operation. Between the coils should be kept a distance of about 20 cm (+10 cm), depending on the features of the room. Each linear meter of the pipe is attached to the valve, taking into account the expansion during heating. The length of the contour should not exceed 60 meters. Before the final filling of the screed, the system should be checked carefully. The height of the fill is about 5 cm above the pipe. The composition of the mixture necessarily includes a plasticizer, which allows the plate to retain its strength in conditions of temperature drop. She needs 28 days to dry.
Warm floors are water-based on the wooden floorare laid after pre-installation of special mats. They serve as an excellent basis for the working contour and metal plates, which ensure uniform heating of the surface.
The following algorithm works:
Regardless of the chosen method of laying pipesfor the warm floor they must be connected to the collector. The first pipe is connected to a collector supplying hot water. The opposite end is to the return collector of the cooled water. Fastening of pipes takes place by means of special nuts. Connecting pipes to the manifold is the final stage of installation, after that the structure should not be subjected to shear, shock, or other mechanical impact from the outside. At this stage, the entire system is tested. The boiler is switched on at full power, the water entering the pipes will move under pressure. The test pressure exceeds the working pressure by 1.5 times. In such conditions, the system must be worked out for at least 2 hours, so that it can be ascertained that there are no installation defects (clogged pipes, unreliable connections).
Warm water floor in a wooden house with its ownhands firstly installed with aesthetic qualities. The main thing is the beautiful design of the entire structure with the help of a clean floor. If a screed is used, then directly ceramic tiles can be laid on it. It should be noted that the savings on glue are able in the near future to destroy the impression of the interior. Work on laying the tiles will have to start again.
For natural wood surfaces in the formboard, parquet or laminate does not require any additional interlayers. They are laid immediately on top of the structure, in which no screed was applied. For other materials it is recommended to pre-pack the OSB sheet.
