A convenient, reliable and economical floor heating will be an excellent solution in a situation where the room is clearly suffering from insufficient heating. Possible with the use of water or gas. The system operates according to the following scheme. Cold air is drawn into the air heaters. Having acquired the necessary temperature, the air masses are sent to the grids, which are built into the floor.
By the way, such autonomous heated floor is very profitable in financial terms. Energy is not spent as much as in other heating systems. Since this is equipped with all the necessary latest technological advances, the management of the warm floor becomes easier and more convenient. This, in turn, can not but affect the economic side. There is an opportunity to establish and make the system completely independent.
Virtually every one of our fellow citizens knows what it is - heating radiators or batteries. Such a system is not always ideally good. After all, warm air is at the top, under the ceiling, while the bottom remains cold and does not allow us to enjoy warmth, comfort and comfort. Accordingly, the most comfortable and does not work ...
But the most economical warm floor is devoid of such shortcomings. After all, the heat will be distributed as evenly as possible, which will allow all dwelling zones to be equally warm.

At present, electric heating systems and water-heated floor are actively used for floor heating. The consumer chooses independently which type suits him after acquaintance with these types of floor heating, technical data, installation and operation conditions. In this article we will get acquainted with the positive and negative sides of the warm water floor.
What is a water-heated floor?
Many are asked this question when choosing a floor heater. Some people do not even suspect that the floor can be insulated with the help of a warm floor. A water-heated floor is a system that uses hot water, which actually makes the floor warm. At the core lies a special folding pipe, inside which water flows. It is connected to a common or autonomous heating system, so that the water remains hot. Everyone knows that depending on the season, our heating is switched off, or weaker. If there is no desire to be dependent on this kind of action and you want to always have a warm floor, it is better to connect it to a gas boiler.
Water-heated floor: components
It consists of elementary materials. From a pipe through which water flows, the temperature of which is regulated by the mixer. Pipes are mainly made of metal-plastic or of strong polyethylene. Their advantages are in flexibility and good heat dissipation. The laid pipes of the "warm floor" are flooded with a cement screed. The temperature control system for warm floors includes: a thermostatic mixer and a circulating pump. 
Underfloor heating: advantages
An inexpensive installation of a water-heated floor by one's own hands (for many consumers the financial costs of purchasing and installing a heating system are "water warm floors". Since the price for quality components of the entire system of warm floors of different manufacturers is approximately the same, the installation costs are relatively small) . 
- The installed system of warm floors is suitable for any flooring. Depending on the wishes of the consumer, after installing warm water floors, it is possible to cover with a laminate, linoleum, ceramic tile, carpet and so on,
- The system of a warm water floor can be used either separately or connected to a central heating system.
- A water-heated floor can completely replace all heating equipment.
- The water-heated floor is not connected to the electric power sources, which excludes the switching-off of heating in the event of a power failure.
- Due to this type of floor insulation in a standard residential building, energy savings of 30% occur. And in buildings where the ceiling height exceeds 3 meters, the savings are up to 50%.
- it is possible to install only in private houses.
- when operating from the boiler, the heating control is partly, but it is impossible from the central heating system.
- if you do not notice the damage to the pipes on time, flooding is possible.
This is not the whole list of weak and strong sides of the warm water floor. But those that we named are especially important. Next, we'll look at how to make a warm water floor with your own hands.
What would normally install a warm water floor in the house with your own hands, you need to comply with the following requirements:
- If there is a basement or other unheated rooms under the room, thermal insulation of the floors is needed to reduce heat loss.
- For the efficiency of the work of warm floors, a material with improved thermal conductivity is placed on top of the pipes.
For the convenience of the system of warm water floors, a cabinet is installed in which all connections and control valves are located. 
The cabinet is mounted in a wall niche measuring 60 * 40 * 12, in which:
- the supply pipe, connected to the hot water pipe from the boiler,
- a return pipe from which water is pumped into the boiler for reheating.
Thus, there is a constant circulation of hot water in the system of water-heated floors. If you look at this element in the assembled ready state, it looks like a cabinet with a lot of pipes, plugs, taps, valves and the like.
For the possibility of switching off the heated room from the heating system, the valves connected to the pipes by compression fittings are installed.
A collector is installed - a pipe that has several outlets, to which the plastic pipes for the heating of water floors are connected using compression fittings. The outlet of the collector is covered either by a plug, or by a splitter with a drain cock and automatic discharge of air, which is preferable for convenience of operation, but is somewhat more expensive.
In the building shop you can freely purchase the assembled collector cabinet and accessories for it.
Preparation for installation of a water-heated floor with your own hands
Pipe laying will begin only when the floor is completely ready. When preparing to install a warm water floor, the surface is leveled and cleaned of debris. To ensure that the floors are warmed evenly, when installing the pipes of warm floors, a uniform screed is necessary, for this, the cleaned surface is leveled before starting the installation. 
Next, a waterproofing foil is applied to protect it from penetration of moisture from below. The next action on the walls glues the damper tape (in appearance, structure and characteristics, the tape reminds Scotch, so it will not be difficult to paste it) with a width of 10-15 cm, to compensate for the thermal expansion of the screed.
Connecting the water to the warm water floor
The next step after the preparation of the floor is the laying of the thermal insulation material. 
Further on the waterproofing is laid heat insulation material, thickness depending on the number of storeys. For the first floor of a house with a basement, not less than 25 centimeters., For the second and above floors a few centimeters are enough. Thermal insulation material can be purchased at any construction store. Currently, manufacturers are offered a choice of a wide range of thermal insulation materials. The entire material has approximately the same thermal conductivity. The most popular are: polystyrene foam, glass wool, mineral wool, foam concrete, technical cork and so on. But there is a special material for warm water floors, with which it is much easier to work. This material is a plate having protrusions for laying in them a pipeline system of a warm water floor.
Since the installed system of warm floors assumes its long-term operation, they pay attention to the quality of the used metal-plastic pipes and components.
Methods of fixing the pipeline:
- The first thing you need to put on the whole floor reinforcement mesh. Pipes are laid over the reinforcing mesh, and are attached to it with a small gap by wire. The clearance is necessary to prevent deformation of the pipes. This method of laying pipes is most simple and easily accessible.
- On the previously prepared surface of the floor, covered with waterproofing, the insulation is laid. It makes marking for the subsequent laying of the pipes of the floor heating system. These pipes must be secured with appropriate special clips and clamps.
Pipes of the system of water-heated floors are stacked evenly with a pitch of 30 centimeters across the entire area of the room. At the walls and under the window, where there is increased heat emission, the pipes are stacked in steps of 15 centimeters. The minimum distance of laying pipes from the walls is 7 centimeters.
The recommended length of the pipe for laying in one room is 60 meters. If the total area of the room involves laying a length of a larger size, it is recommended to install additional collectors in the system (if the pipe length exceeds 60 meters - 2 collectors, if the pipe length is more than 120 meters - 3 collectors, etc.). The total length of the pipe is divided by the length by the number of installed collectors, with a separate connection of each pipe to its collector. After that it is very important to establish thermostat for underfloor heating.
Warm floors are water installation schemes in the house
The scheme of a warm water floor is as follows:
1.
2.
3.
In order to provide your home with reliable and modern heating, it is enough to equip it with a warm floor system, which compares favorably with standard heating with radiators. Today, there is an opportunity to create an economical floor with the use of water, gas, and electricity. The principle of operation of such equipment is as follows: cold air arrives in special air heaters, which, after obtaining the required temperature, is then transferred to the grids built in the floor.
Such a heating system is not only convenient, but also financially profitable, since energy for heating is consumed significantly less in comparison with traditional heating systems. Therefore, it is necessary to dwell in more detail on the types of such sex and to consider how to properly construct the most economical warm floor.
Determination of the economics of electric underfloor heating
If we talk about what kind of floor is the most economical, then, of course, this system deserves a system that operates on electricity. In this design, there are special thermoregulators, thanks to which it is possible to set the desired temperature not in the entire residential building, but in the right parts of it, which can not but affect positively the savings. In this case, the temperature of the coolant in warm electric type floors can vary, which allows to further reduce costs (read the article: "").
Many owners often worry about the fact that insufficient height of ceilings will be a serious obstacle for installing a warm floor. However, there is absolutely no need to worry about this, because the floor level will rise no more than 4 cm. The effectiveness of the warm floor is also due to the fact that the whole system does not depend on the operation of the stationary heating provided by the municipal services. But it is important to remember one thing: in order not to damage the floor wooden covering, the maximum temperature of the warm floor should not exceed the rate of 28 °. Observing this condition, you can create a unique and, most importantly, an economical heating system.
Arrangement of an independent water system of a warm floor
Speaking about what kind of warm floors is more economical, it is worth paying attention to the heating system, which works with the use of water. In this case, its connection will be made to the central unit responsible for the heating. But in the arrangement of such a structure it is extremely important to remember that such installation work is allowed only if the room is equipped with a separate riser. Alternatively, you can get a special permit to confirm the legality of these works.
If there is no possibility of such installation, it is possible to build a boiler, which, in turn, will create a reliable and environmentally friendly system, and parameters such as heat dissipation of the warm floor and its service life will be at the highest level.
Which warm floor to choose, in detail on the video:
The rules for installing a warm floor under the tile
To equip an electric or you need to be extremely careful not to damage the structure of the material, but at the same time to ensure a semi-high-quality heating. In the case of improper handling, often expensive materials can easily be spoiled, so in order to avoid the emergence of unpleasant situations it will be more appropriate to seek help from specialists who can easily perform.
To estimate the cost of all future work, you must first perform all necessary calculations and make an estimate. Only then can we talk about a specific figure. But, one way or another, do not be guided solely by recommendations that allow you to save some of the funds, because sometimes it will be more correct to overpay a little, but to create reliable and stable equipment. All professional questions can always be answered by professional masters who are also able to provide detailed photos of gender options and videos for their installation.
In conditions of severe Russian climate, the connection of a warm floor becomes a necessity. This addition to the heating system creates a comfortable microclimate. This element is especially important for families with small children.
Before you start work, you need to decide on the type of construction. Floors can be:
- water;
- electric;
In a house in which the project does not provide a warm floor, you can connect only electrical floors. ONLY!
Both types provide their own connection conditions. Let us consider each of them in detail.
Water heated floor
There are several schemes for connecting a warm floor based on a water coolant. They differ:
- simplicity and speed of installation;
- cost at the stage of manufacture and operation;
- the occurrence of certain elements;
Let us consider the main parameters of the spreads.
Connection to central heating system
This possibility is feasible for residents of the first or last floors. It depends on the place of heating distribution. Optimal functioning of the system of floor heating pipes is possible at a coolant temperature of no higher than 55 ° C. When the liquid in the heating pipes of the house goes into the return flow, it can be used without inconvenience to the neighbors. In addition, the temperature at the end points is lower than everywhere else. In this case, calculating compensation for the heating of concrete and floor covering, a figure of about 38 ° is obtained on the surface. This indicator is optimal for humans.
The main line from the heating radiator is connected according to the following scheme:
- radiator;
- underfloor heating system;
- upper return water connection;
With this type of installation, the length of the heating pipeline should not exceed 70 m. The pipe diameter is taken 16 mm. In the line that extends from the radiator, you can install the pump to improve circulation. To adjust the temperature between the incoming and reverse lines, a bypass is installed. It is equipped with a balancing valve, which helps to mix the cooled liquid and the incoming hot.
Connection to central hot water supply
Hot water can be used to build a warm floor. This method is quite expensive and inconvenient. Installation of this type of heating is possible for small rooms and in a small distance from the main highway.
The length of the floor pipeline in this case should not exceed 15 m. The disadvantage is the constantly high temperature of the coolant. To reduce the indicator it is necessary to mount a mixer. In the centralized systems, pressure drops and water hammers are not uncommon. Such factors contribute to damage to the pipes of the warm floor.
Water heating floor with autonomous heating system
The most correct variant of the device of floor water heating is connection to an autonomous system. The presence of a boiler gives a lot of advantages:
- independence of the system from external factors;
- the legality of the installation;
- possibility of temperature control;
Collector or comb, the main connection part. All the pipes meet it. From it there is a distribution of the heating flow of fluid and return flow.
Install the collector cabinet in the immediate vicinity of the boiler. Before entering the main line, stop valves should be installed on it. This will help to avoid an emergency situation and will facilitate repairs and dismantling.
Advice: on sale there are special collector sets for a certain number of consumers. By purchasing such a product, you do not have to worry about:
- shut-off valves for each circuit;
- tightness of joints;
- reliability of design;
Without the introduction of additional elements, the system is uncontrollable. The only thing you can do is close the shut-off valve a little. In this case, the flow of liquid decreases and the temperature drops. But this is not a way out. The convenience of using the system is enhanced by the installation:
- a three-way mixer;
- vozhduhootovchika;
- the drain cock;
- the pump unit;
Improved ease of use is due to the installation of self-regulating valves. The capsule filled with paraffin reacts to the ambient temperature. Depending on the changes in the air parameters in the room, the tap itself adds or reduces the amount of fluid entering.
The installation of the mixer is necessary to dilute the too hot liquid. It provides an inflow to the chilled water supply line from the return flow, thereby saving the energy of the boiler. Especially such introduction is useful to inhabitants of northern areas. In cold weather, the boiler will work at maximum, and the increased temperature of the coolant will negatively affect:
- material of pipes;
- floor covering;
- health of residents;
Mounting procedure
Consider the order of installation of the most functional circuit with the inclusion of a complete set of instruments and equipment.
- The first thing that is installed in the supply line from the boiler is a thermostatic valve. It makes it possible to control the temperature of the liquid flow thus:
- saving heating costs;
- reducing the load on the boiler;
- creating comfortable conditions in the room;
2. The pump is then connected. It ensures the normal functioning of the system and the adequacy of the coolant. You need to buy the product with a small capacity, approximately 5-10 l / min;
3. Fuse based on thermostat. It protects the system from overheating;
5. A bypass is installed on the manifold. It switches the circulation of the system along a small circle, excluding the feed from the boiler;
6. On each branch of the floor, if necessary, put a regulatory system. Remote controls simplify the process of monitoring the temperature of the floor;
7. On the return line, a jumper is installed that connects the feed and return. The mixer is mounted on it;
The controller must be connected in a remote location from the sockets. The installation height is approximately 12 cm from the floor level. The work of the element is checked up to the full pressure in the system.
The heating elements of the electrical system are:
- cable;
- mats;
- film;
The device of this type of heating will take less time than the floor with the use of liquid heating. But the cost of materials is much more expensive. The connection is made by connecting the floor power to the regulator or in direct connection to the network.
You can arrange the system on top of a layer of old tile or on a concrete base. Mats can be cut into parts. The main thing is that each part has a terminal for connection.
The fastening is carried out with the help of:
- scotch tape;
- glue;
- adhesive mat base;
After installation, the blade should be inspected for damage. If the gaps are not found, the floor covering is laid. It is mounted directly on the mats.
This type of construction requires special knowledge and skills. To begin with, you should choose the optimal cable diameter based on:
- electricity consumption;
- loads on the wiring;
- dimensions of the room;
increase of efficiency of heating occurs due to a lining under a cable of a heater. The most popular among them are foil-like models such as penofol. On the models of insulation mats intended for substrates, there is even a marking for the layout of the cable.
The wiring is connected to the cable through the thermostatic control unit. It is installed in a corrugated pipe to provide waterproofing and access, after embedment.
After stacking the material, the system is tested.
The assembled system must be transferred to paper. Measure the distance between the elements, indicate their distance from the walls, tie the place of installation of the thermostat. Such a scheme will be needed when repairing or replacing the system.
The final stage will be pouring the cable with a solution. The screed should be at least 50 mm thick.
The use of a thermostat in rooms in high humidity is undesirable. In this case, the controller is moved out of the room. Thanks to modern technology, you can buy a factory set, protected from moisture.
The novelty of the market for heated floors was the production of floor covering with built-in heating. It's quite easy to connect such a system. It is necessary to mount the laminate by connecting the heater wires to one system. Turn the resulting network into an outlet.
This option will become more economical and simpler than the previous ones. In this case, the replacement of canvases can be made element-by-element without breaking the entire system. Combining conventional heated laminate panels and you can achieve the optimum result. The composition of the material already includes a connected thermostat, so you do not need to purchase the product separately.
Any type of warm floor will be an indispensable assistant in the cold. Correctly connected system will give the room a cosiness that even the most modern heating mains can not provide.
