The device "warm floor" can not only add to the comfort. It is able to fully warm the room. But you need to correctly calculate the distance between the waves (the heater is placed zigzag). It is important to understand that the wire is not laid across the floor space, but only where there is no will to stand bulky furniture and household appliances (washing, dishwasher). The total area for the installation of the cable is usually 75% of the entire premises.
Uniform pitch between the waves will ensure uniform heating of the floor without the formation of cold spots. The main problem - its correct calculation - will perform submitted online calculator.
Calculated using an appropriate calculator length of the heating element is not needed. Calculations are made based on the size of the acquired cable. These values are rarely the same. Complex schemes for mounting wires are not needed - it warms the same along the entire length. The main thing - to ensure the uniformity of the location. It is impossible to avoid crossing, overlapping wires. Warmed up insulation burned, the circuit is reduced, and the system will be damaged due to overheating.
When working with the program to be made in the appropriate fields the following values:
- size of the room (except for the places where the gasket is made);
- The length of the heating element (purchased).
After press "Calculate" button and get the desired step size. It remains only to properly secure the heating element, respecting the distances indicated. Correct calculation before installation - guarantee stable, proper operation of the floor heating system.
