Water type of underfloor heating

The construction of such a floor consists of:

• pipes made of polymer materials through which the coolant circulates;

• devices called collectors, which connect pipes to the heating system.;

• a device that heats the coolant;

• Various fasteners;

• a pump that will circulate the coolant;

• the so–called – laying coating;

• directly covering the floor.

As a coating for underfloor heating of this type, an extremely wide range of types of building materials can be used, which includes different types of ceramic tiles, almost all types of laminate and parquet, and even some varieties of linoleum. When using laminate and parquet, it is necessary to lay an additional substrate to protect them from excessive drying. If you decide to use linoleum, then choose it only of very good quality, because low-quality PVC materials can release toxic substances when heated.

Depending on which type of installation is used to create a water floor, there are three types of it, using the installation of:

• Concrete;

• Trees;

• Polystyrene.

For the first type, a concrete screed is created. In general, this process looks like this: thermal insulation is laid on the rough screed serving as the base of the underfloor heating, on which a reinforcing mesh is installed, but tubes laid along the contours are already directly attached to it. From above, all this is poured with a so–called finishing screed – a special concrete mixture. This stage is described very superficially here, in fact it is a rather complicated and time-consuming process, if you want to study it in more detail, then you need to read specialized articles on creating a underfloor heating screed.

If you decide to choose the type of installation of the underfloor heating circuit using wood, then you need to install special logs or modules made of chipboard, which already have channels for coolant pipes. A layer of thermal insulation, which is polystyrene or mineral wool, is laid between such modules, and covered with aluminum plates on top, then the entire structure is covered with a layer of foamed polyethylene or special cardboard.

When using polystyrene as a laying material, its plates are used, in which grooves for laying pipes have already been made. Such plates are laid on a layer of thermal insulation, and covered with a layer of hygroscopic material on top. If wood or polystyrene is used for laying, then a floor screed is not needed.

It is important to know that water-type underfloor heating is prohibited in apartments with central heating, as they put additional strain on it. It is also impossible to use a hot water faucet as a heat source, because the riser is the same for the whole house and if the water from it circulates under your floor, then it will go to the neighbors barely warm. However, it should be noted that in some modern buildings, separate risers already exist, specifically for connecting such floors.

In general, we can say that water underfloor heating is more suitable for a private home, while in urban apartments it would be more appropriate to use electric underfloor heating.
