In this case, two ways. Both – is cable systems, different technology installation and operating conditions.
The first group – heating wire. It can be mounted as a layer of cement-sand screed, and a layer of tile adhesive.
In the first case, the installation is carried out by plate thickness 3 to 5 centimeters. Fixed with metal mounting tape, which is pre-mounted on a concrete base floor.
Can be used as an additional, comfortable or main heat source, even in high heat losses.
Combining the conclusion of step, performance can be achieved by 150 to 250 Watts per square meter. The cable has a standard thickness – from 5 to 7 mm. Power, per meter, from 15 to 20 watt.
The second option – thin cable, for laying a layer of tile adhesive. It has reduced capacity – from 10 to 15 Watt per meter. Given this, its capacity may not be sufficient for use as the main mode of heating, in high heat losses. The best option – operation, how comfortable or main heat source, in well-warmed room.
Like the first version, fastened with metal or PVC mounting tape. One of the most popular options – heating cable Nexans Millicable flex 15. Made, in Norway. Also, pay attention to the cable from domestic producers, example:
- Woks 10,
- Volterm,
- GrayHot.
in addition, both cable, can be mounted in coupler, floor covering which provides otherwise. Example: laminate, parquet, flooring, linoleum or any other cover.
Recommended, carefully review the recommendations of the manufacturers of flooring, regarding temperature usage.
The most simple, to install, Electric heating, is heating mat. It fits directly into the tile adhesive layer. Also advantage is the ability to install in rooms, where it is impossible to increase the level of finish flooring.
Whether, in which the electrical heating system you stop selection, for its management need to use the thermostat. It can be either mechanical, remotely controlled, programování.
The most advanced control system, in addition, allow you to control other sources of heat (water or electrical convectors, battery, radiant floor heating).
