In modern dwellings, a variety of heating systems are often found. Recently, the hosts are increasingly embedding equipment designed to heat heating. It allows residents and guests at home to feel comfort and move around the room without shoes.

Such systems are customary to use in large houses, where the owners have all the necessary features for installing equipment. Bad news is that all this is very expensive. Do not forget that, for example, when using infrared warm floors, there will be considerable money for electricity. Accordingly, the savings do not shine here.
In this material we will look at the main features of the arrangement of infrared warm sex with their own hands.
Choosing in favor of infrared warm floor
Many people have a logical question associated with the expediency of using this type of warm floor. Practice shows that the infrared system is the best suitable for laminate or linoleum. We are talking about the capacity of the equipment, as well as the uniform distribution of heat.
It is most important to remember that the power of infrared warm floor should be no more than 150 W per 1 sq. M. meter. If there is an excess, then the following consequences are possible:
- changes color coating;
- lagging material;
- softening and deformation;
- selection of harmful substances.
Accordingly, if the decision has already decided to establish infrared warm floor, you should attract specialists who will calculate the system associated with the power and a specific room.
Warm floor and infrared film features
The infrared heap system itself is relatively simple, and often consists of the following layers:
- laminating film;
- copper tire;
- glue high temperature;
- silver tire;
- fiber carbon
- basic film.
At first glance it may seem that infrared film is quite fragile, and it is easy to damage. Partially this information is correct, however, at the same time it is worthwhile that a specific area ceases to work in mechanical damage. This suggests that when installing the film, the most important thing is to be careful.
Manufacturers produce infrared film using laminated and polymer coatings that exclude the likelihood of a fire situation. Separate companies indicate that when the release of such products, they take into account the likelihood of enhanced humidity, therefore, even some drops are completely secure for the system. It is impossible to exclude that there is a lot of infrared film on sale, which has a number of flaws. Safety in such products is the most important thing, therefore it makes sense to pay extra and purchase a film from the proven manufacturer.
If we talk about the analogues - other systems related to the heating of the floor, then today their huge amount. The good news is that each owner can choose for itself the most optimal heating system, but the infrared film is the most practical, given its miniature dimensions and ease of installation. However, at the same time it is worth paying attention to other factors. For example, the water heating of the floor in some situations is of greater safety and durability.
Types of linoleum for warm infrared sex
Practice shows that the varieties of linoleum can play a colossal role, especially if we are talking about the use of warm floor systems. Therefore, you need to pay attention to the following details of the material:
- Alkyd. This is a material produced on the basis of fabric. Positive is a feature associated with excellent thermal insulation properties. But bad news lies in the deformations of the material that can occur very quickly.
- Natural. This is most likely the most optimal option. The material is characterized by safety, as well as durability and resistance to external factors.
- Rubber. This linoleum is produced on the basis of rubber, bitumen and other synthetic components, due to which the material does not tolerate the heating poorly, so the rubber material for the warm floor is completely not suitable.
- Nitrocellulose. This material has a small thickness, as well as moisture resistance. All spoils the fact that this linoleum is rapidly exposed to fire.
Materials for installation of infrared warm floor
- Thermal film infrared (this product is measured in square meters, so you need to perform measurements in advance).
- Temperature sensors.
- Temperature regulators.
- Insulation and contact clamps.
- Heat-reflecting material.
- Double-sided tape.
- Wiring.
- DVP.
The main stages of installation of infrared warm floor
- First of all, you need to remove the floor covering, under which the film will be laid. The surface must be cleaned, since the location of the thermal film should be perfect. You need to determine in advance where the main heating part of the floor will be located, as well as thermostators. Perhaps you will need floor alignment.
- On the entire floor of the floor you need to lay the reflective material. Perhaps a good solution will be the use of this resource throughout the room so that the heat that is highlighted by the floor and other systems has not left the space. The reflective material is produced in the form of a canvas that it is advisable to bore with the help of a tape.
- Next occurs with a cutting of thermal blinds. We will need a few stripes. It is most important to pay attention to the lines for which you can make a cut, otherwise, in case of error you can simply bring the system into disrepair. You need to use bands as much as possible, which will significantly simplify the process in the future.
- The laying of the thermal film on top of the heat transfer material is copper strip down. There should be contact between the film and the reflector, and any gaps and other flaws are not allowed. For uniformity of heating floor, it is necessary to place the film as dense as possible.
- The contact clamp is located on the copper strip. The clamp is occurring with the help of pliers.
- Copper tire cuts can be isolated using bitumen. As well as reflecting material, the thermal film must be fixed with scotch.
- A thermostat is installed on the wall, which should be in an affordable place. Sometimes it makes sense to think about this item, as the role and safety plays here.
- The connecting wires of the installation must be located along the plinths on one side of the room. If the wires are held in separate places along the wall, they need to be hidden by a special box.
- The bare ends of the wires that go from the floor should be reliably tested to the thermostat. Fasten all this with the help of the passage.
- All connections need to be isolate, as security should always be above all.
- Together with the acquired installation, there must be an instruction on which you should navigate when connecting the wires and the first start. You need to check the reliability of fasteners, as well as the absence of unreliable connections.
- Near the wall, under the heating film, you need to install the thermal sensor, which is connected directly to the thermostat. The thermostat itself must be connected to the network. Experts recommend it to trust professionals.
- Already after everything is installed and connected, you need to test the system. This will make it possible to understand whether there is any critical shortcomings. In addition, there may be errors associated with the connection. All this must be taken into account before using heating fully. If something does not work like this, you need to immediately access specialists or directly to the equipment manufacturer.
- Immediately after testing, if everything is in order, you can install a fiberboard or other outdoor material. Linoleum is later stacked on top of it. In the case of laminate, you can skip a step with fiberboard.
- Under normal conditions, the system should operate at the level of 27 degrees Celsius, so this temperature is installed on the thermostat, after which the installation is started. If the installation of the system passed correctly, then with 27 degrees there will be a comfortable setting.
Infrared Warm floor and Security
Many people do not eat special confidence in warm floors, since in this case it is about the use of electricity or other energy resources that can create a lot of problems. Again, this is the fire of floor materials, and the further spread of fire, and excessive heating, which entails burns on the feet feet. Therefore, you need to remember the following paragraphs:
- It is necessary to install any components of the equipment when the voltage is disconnected. Even a small tension can kill a person and this kind of security need to pay maximum attention.
- The temperature limit is also available. Experts note that if there is a value above 30 degrees on the thermostat, it is not avoided. First of all, it concerns the possibility of obtaining burns of the feet. It is impossible to exclude ignition of outdoor materials. The acquired linoleum can be resistant to such things, however, when switching for the planned frames, the situation may change.
- Testing. Checking the system performance should occur only after a whole amount of basic work. The most important thing is to check the reliability of isolation.
- If you lay the thermal blinds in 2 layers, it will create enormous problems. Overheating, which will begin immediately, will drive the system.
