It is logical that the use of precisely water heating water provides the best result and undoubted advantages over similar systems for heating the premises. The minimum costs of area, as well as the beneficial effect of thermal heating from the bottom-up are clear advantages of this method of warming the house or apartment. It is also worth considering that financial costs will be considerable, but do not forget that with proper operational use, such a system will work for up to several decades, and it practically does not need maintenance. Actually, this can also be attributed to high -quality Viko technique.
Consider the main parameters of warm water floors. Technically, the main components of such floors are functional layers that fulfill their characteristic purpose. For example: the thermal insulation layer serves to prevent heat losses, and the damping tape does not allow exceeding the values of the maximum deformation. For a more complete and tangible effect of heating, the pipes installed under the flooring are mounted in a concrete base, which also allows a more thoughtful decoration. Less commonly, such pipes can be installed on a wooden basis, but this method is not entirely rational due to the small coefficient of heat transfer of wood.
If you decide to start installation yourself, you should know the specific stages of construction designed for the full installation of a warm floor. First of all, it is necessary to prepare the surface by cleaning and alignment, where deviations of up to 5 millimeters per square meter are allowed. If the humidity of this surface is increased, its cause should be eliminated.
The second stage will be the gasket and installation of waterproofing materials. Polyethylene is the most common and best option. The polyethylene film is laid along the entire area of installation, and then attached with special construction glue.
We proceed to the installation of the damping tape, and then, we lay the thermal insulation coating and only then – directly the heating pipes themselves.
