The need for heating the tile floor is quite obvious and explained. Without heating on such a surface, it will be cold to walk barefoot and the risk of getting sick will be high. So that such a situation does not arise under the tile become fashionable to mount an electric warm floor. Its design is a cable and mat, sometimes an infrared film is used instead of a mat. You can install another species, the so -called water warm floor. We will analyze in more detail these options.
The first thing that you need to know if you want to insulate the tile floor, that this venture should be implemented provided that the ceilings in the room are not very low, since the installation will require a certain surface. From which this height will decrease more, and noticeably, about 10 centimeters.
This space of the room will take a concrete screed on which the warm floor will be laid. Decide to put the warm floor under the tile, make it so that in one period and other types of repair work in the room in this period: thereby “kill two birds with one stone”. By the way, you can do without screed and insulate the floor under the tile using heating mats and infrared film.
Heating mats
Heating mats belong to an electric heat floor under the tile, styling occurs through a special glue. Thereby reducing the time to perform work. Another plus is the subtlety of mats, which allows you to slightly reduce the height of the room and thereby leave more space.
Heating mats allow you to quickly create the necessary temperature tiles. After installation for the operation of such heating, you need to wait a day, this is necessary in order to dry the glue. Minus – at the site of the building of heating mats, it is impossible to put furniture, otherwise the heating effect will be sharply reduced.
Infrared floor
Another type of warm floor for tiles is infrared. It differs in that when installation, layers of gypsum plastered or glass -frost sheets are applied to the thermal soldier, and only then the tiles are mounted.
The scheme of work is simple – the base of the floor is cleaned, the thermal male is cut along the lines with pieces of the desired size. Material for thermal insulation – polyphoma, or infraflex. Be sure to isolate the outputs of the copper strip. The installation of film canvases with a layer of thermal insulation occurs very simply, using tape.
Independently laying a warm floor for tiles is not recommended to do. This should be done by a good electrician, because it is necessary to isolate absolutely all the places where such protection is required. Further, using a thermal attenter, the functionality of the system under a layer of tiles is checked. And only then the work is carried out, which we have already talked above.
