Radiant floor in a wooden house

Modern heating systems are constructed in such a way as to maximize the effectiveness of the work to create harmony and comfort in the house. This can be achieved through the use of underfloor heating based on water pipes that are now allowed to stack even in wooden houses of logs and lumber, and laminated materials. No significant difference in the arrangement of the sexes is not as standards compliance are the same technology for all kinds of structures.

EXAMPLE laying of floor heating pipes in a wooden house

Substrate preparation

Installation of water underfloor heating with their hands in a wooden house begins with the preparation. At this stage, the base requires leveling. Usually covered with earth, which was obtained by digging a strip foundation and leave room for pillows of sand. Pillow, on average, a 5 cm base, and a cushioning layer, and also eliminates direct contact with the concrete ground, which is detrimental to the screed. Ideally, the top cushion of sand to remain a value equal to 22 cm.

Once compacted airbag, it is placed on top of waterproofing using roofing felt or film. Waterproofing placed 10 cm overlap on each other and glued special tape.

Rough screed future underfloor

The base for laying pipes must be durable. Had that prosyadet land under the floor, a pipe burst under the weight of the screed and the finishing will leak. Such repairs trudnoustranim. Therefore, experts recommend to equip a full "pie" future floor, consisting of a black tie and finish, respectively.

Attention! Rough screed must be filled in as much as possible in level. To do this to recapture the total floor horizon based on the fact that the minimum level ties should reach 7 cm.

It is recommended to use reinforcing mesh floor, which laid over the waterproofing, connects the binding wire. It is sufficient if the grid will have a cell size of 10 to 10 cm. According to the level exhibited plaster beacon (like the cheapest option) by placing it under mortar and other substrates for exposure distance. Leave the floor until morning to dry beacons, and then start to fill.

The next day the screed is ready. According to the technology solidifies the concrete design 28 days. All this time, it must be watered in order to achieve greater fortress.

floor Warming

As a general rule, 28 days, no one is waiting, because there is no time during the construction phase. Proceed to installation of insulation by hand. As a trusted mater for insulating floors in a wooden house using extruded foam. It is lightweight but very thick and warm material, which is often placed under the floorboards in a wooden house. Calculations show that the foam thickness in the CFA must be at least 3 cm (usually placed 5 cm).

Insulation is spread over the entire area of ​​the house, and then paving the heat reflecting film. Actually, the film is a base foil, which will reflect the heat from the pipes to direct it upwards.

On top of the insulation is reflective metalized film, which are stacked floor heating circuits directed to the collector

There are two kinds of film - the usual and more expensive. Expensive option is a metalized foil, cheaper - the usual. Metallized foil can be put on top of a heater and does not protect it further. For normal foil required polyethylene protection, as it can corrode the concrete under the influence of an aggressive environment. Because the foil has a thickness of 5 mm, it is possible to obtain the effect of subsidence on the coupler value. As a result - tiles falling off, cracks in the grout and other nuances.

After reflecting foil is laid, it is film coated, proceed to laying tape damper. floor screed will be deformed when heated. Thus, it will put pressure on the wall or a foundation, which may lead to cracks, deformation. Damper tape is placed around the perimeter of all the walls in a private home, a little beyond the speech of the future finishing screed. Excess cut at the end of work.

Laying of floor heating pipes

Next - the modern device of warm water floor in a wooden house. An important condition for laying the pipe is that the kennels must be an integer. No cuts or kinks should not be, because the excess pressure in the circuit squeeze this place and will be a water leak. Therefore, during the laying of the floor will have to roll the bay, which is beginning to lead from the furnace and to the same return.

Attention! Experts recommend to lay the floor heating pipe to the length of the loop does not extend beyond 80 m. The maximum allowed stacked circuit length of 100 m, but it is better not to do so. Out positions - room split into two or more circuits.

The room is divided into two heating circuit pipe which is laid on a "snail"

Select a scheme for laying the pipe - this is an important point of operation. The most frequently used scheme "snail", as it has the highest efficiency. Material it will go twice, but eventually will be more comfortable because the floor is warmed evenly. The principle of such a stacking scheme is that the pipe, conventionally, spirals, where you in advance is removed, the distance between the pipes to rotate 180 degrees.

It is believed the 20 mm diameter tube warms to 15-20 cm around it. To leave no cold zones recommended feed pipe arranged at a distance of 30 cm from each other, and between them at the turn tank line host pipe. There will be cooled down liquid base which, under the action of the circulation pump will be fed to the boiler for heating.

Attention! The scheme of "snail" is convenient in that the water supplied to the boiler cooled down a little, and, therefore, will spend less resources on water heating than heating it from scratch. Hence, less than the cost of utilities, despite the high cost of materials at the beginning of the work.

Pin tube

Everyone who reads this material and comprehends the time of installation, ask questions about the mounting tubes. Actually, the simplest option is to use clips that wrap around the tube and driven into the insulation.

The general form of the pipe, which is fixed to the insulant by means of clips

For accuracy of the first draw contour stacking, then pulls one tube and unrolls while the other nails her light hammer blows to the foam. Such a method becomes quite reliable as easily withstand constant working movement through the pipes.

The pipe is laid, there is a floor level weaning to finishing screed

Another option is a little more expensive, but allows you to further reinforce the finishing screed. There is placed a fine mesh of 10 cm, to which is fastened on the pipe screed or binding wire. If the home has an intermediate room, through which the pipe in transit to other spaces, then lay the loop so as to save material. However, disabling some circuits, for example, a hall or kitchen, will be formed the cold areas, it would be uncomfortable in the intermediate room. If you want to avoid this, place the transit pipe next to each other and use the insulation.

The boiler tube is cut with a margin of about half a meter, for easy installation of the collector. As soon as the last wound pipe and is fastened to the floor, you need to fix the pipe to the furnace wall. After that, it is desirable to test the system, but quite often the finishing screed is poured. As a finishing floor screed often use semi-dry screed. She is the most successful in its class to provide safe, durable, dry and efficient radiant floor heating in the wooden house.

Fine semi-dry floor screed in the house from logs

Metal pipes for floor heating installation has to be rotated at not only 90 °, but also 360. To avoid creases system, use the special corrugated tool. Is passed through a pipe and pulling throughout the circuit. If necessary, turn the corrugated pipe proportioned helps your efforts and not to make too much.

What is the boiler room in a wooden house with underfloor heating

Thus, the pipe was brought, it is time to mount the manifold. What it will be manifold - decide. The main thing is that the number of his conclusions fit the contour of the water floor heating your wooden house. The collector is mounted on the wall in a special box or without it. Then, using a flaring for floor heating pipes, to produce compound feed and return circuits.

Collector necessarily includes a air vent, bypass in case of necessity looped system and mix with the circulating pump. The latter allows to adjust the temperature of only the heating surface and the temperature of the radiators, if any in the house, leave unchanged. Cranes are required before each branch. It is clear that they require additional investments, the transition from plastic to metal, deliver complexity and time-consuming installation. Ultimately, they allow cut off the problem area in the case of repairs.

Attention! All transitions from plastic to metal seal recommended special tape or linen thread using the paste for sealing. This will prevent leakage of the system.

conclusion

Such technology laying of floor heating pipe is suitable not only for wooden houses, but also for all modern versions. On top of the already finished screed can put tile or granite, which have better heat dissipation. At the same time tie and make a laminate which, despite the substrate, will miss the warmth and heat the room.

Floor heating efficiency is much higher than the efficiency of the radiator, since the heating is bottom-up, creating a comfortable temperature distribution. Underfloor heating can be used independently or in addition to heating radiators. Modern systems allow you to set automatic unit that controls the temperature of each loop and create your individual comfort zone in the house.

General view of the underfloor heating manifold after the end of all kinds of work, including the floor finish

It is desirable to fill the screed as a wooden floor of the high density of heat flowing will be worse. Concrete, on the other hand, inert and warm up for 12-14 hours at a value in the tie 9cm long retains heat.
