Installation of Electrical Warm Floor.

Installation of electric underfloor heating.

To install a cable floor heating it is necessary to observe the following sequence of actions:

Step one. Choose a suitable place for the thermostat on the wall, it is recommended to install it at a distance of one and a half meters from the floor surface, as close as possible to the installation area. At the selected location, you need to install an electrical wiring box. From the installation site of the thermostat to the floor, it is necessary to make in the wall a vertical shroud for placing a corrugated tube with a temperature sensor.

Step two. Make a layout for the location of the warm floor. When drawing up the scheme, the following calculation formula for the stacking step should be used: Laying step (cm) = 100 * Paving area (m.sq.) / cable length (m)

Carefully prepare the floor surface before installation: clean the floor within the boundaries of the installation area. Remove rubbish, dust, dirt, foreign objects. The surface must be clean and even.

Step three. Lay the insulation and secure it. Thermal insulation is a necessary part of the systems of electric warm floors. Its absence can lead to large heat losses.

Step four. Lay down and secure the mounting tape.

Fasten the pieces of the mounting tape to the floor using tools (screws or dowels) to exclude any possibility of displacement of the electric warm floor.

Step five. Lay the electric warm floor in the shape of the heated area according to your plan.

All works on installation and pouring produce only in clean shoes with soft soles. This is necessary to prevent damage to the heating cable.

Lay the warm floor evenly and without crossing over the entire laying area. Observe the calculated stacking step (permissible deviation not more than one centimeter in one direction or the other). It is undesirable to position the turns of the warm floor closer than 10 cm to each other.

Step Six. Fill the cement-sand screed. The thickness of the concrete screed should be about five centimeters for systems with a power of up to 150 W / m2 or more. The consistency of the cement-sand mixture should ensure good contact with the surface of the warm floor and prevent the formation of air cavities. It is important.

After filling the screed, measure the resistance of the warm floor and the temperature sensor to confirm the absence of any malfunctions.

Step Seven. Connect the thermostat to the ready-made system of electric floor heating. Install the temperature sensor. For such works it is better to consult a qualified electrician.

Step eight. Lay the finishing floor.

Step the ninth. Turn on the finished system of electric underfloor heating. Ragest your health.

For correct and competent installation it is better to consult specialists.
