Warm floors

Warm floors - a practical, reliable option radiant heating the entire room.

Warm floors are of two types: electric and water. In the first case, the warm floor heats up with a cable with a high resistance, while electrical energy is converted into heat. In the second version of the same energy source - the heated water that is passing through PEX tubing laid in the floor gives off heat throughout the room.

Installing underfloor radiant heating is divided into several stages.

In the first place in the early work on a clean flat surface of the floor must fit insulating material. As such a material can be used foam. The thickness of the insulation depends on the premises, which is located one floor below.

For thermal insulation along the walls of thermal insulation glued to the compensator. It also prevents the possible expansion of the concrete when heated.

To a solution of cement did not penetrate between the plates and did not create thermal and acoustic bridges with warm floors in need of insulating material is placed on the plastic film.

For easy installation of PEX tubing on top of plastic film installed accessory device - comb.

Top comb arranged PEX tubing and fixed Tucker.

Or, instead of the PEX manifolds when installing underfloor radiant heating cable is laid, but before we place it on the floor need to decide where it will be furniture and avoid these areas. Fixed radiant heating cable mounting tape, representing a aluminum or plastic tape fastening devices.

If the premise, which established a warm floor is a large size, or expected a lot of pressure on the floor, if necessary, the floor is placed a aluminum net.

The final stage of the installation of floor radiant heating is pouring concrete (pipe) or a tie for the floor (heating cables).

PEX manifolds

Fear of water hammer. Caused by the difference of the PEX manifolds and fitting.
The high cost of fittings.
Need to check connections for leaks once every 2 years (may need braces).
For PEX manifolds expendability to use.

PPR PEX tubing are divided into 2 types of wall thickness PN10 and PN20 (PN10 in the wall thickness of less than about 2 times than that of PN20). Usually PN10 PEX manifolds used for cold water, and PN20 for hot (to save).

Pipe dimensions are indicated in millimeters: 20, 25, 32, 40, 50, 63, 75.

Strengths:
High durability (warranty up to 50 years from the manufacturer.)
No rust and build-up.
Low cost.
Ability to install valves (faucets) in due to the soldering gap between the PEX tubing without using fittings.
The presence of a clip for fastening to a wall.
Ability to seal plaster the whole structure - due to lack of necessary maintenance works.

PEX Tubing with Oxygen Barrier

Certifications and Standards

The 5/8" PEX Tubing w/ Oxygen Barrier has been manufactured as per the highest standards such as the ASTM F876/F877, CSA B137.5, DIN 4726, NSF 14, SDR 9 etc. Therefore, one can expect the highest levels of performance and longevity when it comes to PEX Tubing with Oxygen Barrier. The product has also received certifications such as nsf-rfh applicable for radiant flooring type of heating applications. It has also been UPC listed from the IAPMO. Thus, as you can well imagine, the PEX Tubing with Oxygen Barrier of 5/8th inches is truly superior when it comes to finishing, make and durability.

Safety PEX warm floor for human health

The composition of the system "warm floor".

The system «warm floor» includes:
# Heating section;
# Control equipment (thermostat with temperature sensor);
# Accessories for easy and fast installation (mounting tape, corrugated plastic tube, etc.);
# Insulation. A typical design of «warm floor» presented in the figure.
warm floor

At leveled and cleaned the floor Draft laid insulation, then reinforced mounting tape, with which perpetuate the heating section. "Cold ends" conclusions on the wall for connection to the thermostat. Identify the installation location thermostat, and placed near the site of the thermostat between the two threads Radiant PEX tubing corrugated pipe to install a temperature sensor. At this point, not stop to make a small sketch of laying, which show the place of laying clutches and temperature sensor. If ever the system is damaged (for example, during the subsequent maintenance), this sketch served the owner in good stead. Section checks the integrity of conventional tester. After this is performed pouring cement-sand screeds.

The thickness of the tie can not be less than 3 cm, especially in terms of its strength and requirements of SNIP. Time of complete solidification ties (again, on-demand SNIP) not less than 28 days. Only after this can be turned on the installed system. It is unacceptable to accelerate hardening of ties, including the «warm floor». Before switching on (and even better for 3-5 days after casting) to check the integrity of the heating section of the tester. Due to the fact that inside there remains some moisture, it is useful when you first start to warm screed not less than one day. The system is ready for operation.

Pluses warm floor

Such advantages are many, some of them are visible at a glance. For example, you can walk barefoot all year round, without fear that you have warm feet. The fact that walking barefoot is not only pleasant but also useful for any doctor will tell you. At the foot there are many acupuncture points, massage, which provides a comprehensive positive impact on health, enhances the potency and excites no worse than any afrodoziaka. Stay, happy parents and young children. Very often, the kids build their own castles and play with dolls on the floor, and convince them that sit on the cold parquet floor is bad for health virtually impossible.

Overview of warm floors.

There are many ways to resist the cold, for example, ignore it, as did the Spartans, who from childhood were accustomed to sleep on the cold ground in all weathers. Or hide under heavy feather bed, as did the inhabitants of medieval castles. At worst, you can buy fluffy slippers, and they roam around the apartment. There are many ways to warm up winter nights, but owners of warm floor they do not need.

Incidentally, the world's first warm floors appeared very long time - even in ancient Rome. They have refined patricians in his famous mansions. There is an old legend about how severe a crusader of a campaign brought with him a great lover - fragile Egyptian. But in the harsh European winter, it is constantly cold, cough, and even the warmest clothes they could not save her from the rawness that reigned in the castle. Knight was not an architect and could not rebuild his house so that it becomes more comfortable, but the idea is to part with his beloved, drove him to madness. A solution was found: under one of the rooms he ordered to place several furnaces, which were heated day and night. And the charming Egyptian was able to recline on carpets, warmed by warm floors. How long are living together in love, and whether they died in one day - history is silent, but, nevertheless, a precedent was created.

For a long time, warm floors were created solely for public baths, nurseries and kindergartens: too expensive, they were considered. The situation changed when in the thirties of last century, first in Denmark and then in other European countries appeared floors with PEX tubing. There were - and instantly won the hearts of lovers of comfort.
