Everyone knows that warm air rises. Because of this, the floors in heated bath rooms will remain cold, which leads to a decrease in the level of comfort. To create an optimal microclimate, you can make a heated floor in the bathhouse from a sauna stove.

Types of systems

Before heating a bathhouse using a floor stove, you need to study the types of systems:

1. Under a concrete screed. Heating pipes are filled with a layer of concrete, which protects them from any mechanical damage and moisture. Placed on top of the screed ceramic tile which transfers heat well.
2. Under wood flooring. The tubes are placed on the base and then closed protective coating, on top of which a wooden floor is laid.

The second option for laying heating circuits can be divided into three types:

1. Rack system. Pipes with circulating water are laid around slats, which guide and hold them motionless.
2. Polystyrene system. Special polystyrene slabs with recesses for pipes are laid on the subfloor. After this, the heating circuit is installed.
3. Modular system. On rough floor special mats are laid out that have fastenings for pipes. Placed on top protective layer, wooden flooring.

The main disadvantage of the structures is their low resistance to prolonged exposure to moisture.

The principle of operation of the water system

The principle of operation of a water system that heats the floors in a bathhouse is that a pipeline filled with liquid passes through a brick oven. The water begins to heat up after the furnace equipment is ignited. To circulate the liquid, the system is equipped with a special pump. When the bathhouse is ready to receive visitors, the floors will heat up to the optimal temperature.

Laying methods

There are two options for laying heating pipes for floor heating:

1. Snake - a method suitable for rooms with an area of ​​no more than 10 square meters. If you install such a design in big room, only one part of it will warm up. The rest of the floor will be cold.
2. Snail is the most popular method of laying heating pipes. Allows you to heat floor coverings evenly over the entire area. There are no pressure drops in the system.

For bathhouses, the snake pipe laying method is more suitable, since bathhouses have a small area.

Advantages and disadvantages

Water heated floor for a bath - complex design, which has many pros and cons. Advantages:

• increasing comfort, restoring the microclimate;
• uniform heating of floors throughout the entire area of ​​the room;
• high thermal inertia;
• heating liquid without the use of additional devices.

Flaws:

1. To perform installation you need to use expensive equipment.
2. To repair the system, it is necessary to open the screed or remove part of the wooden flooring.
3. To install the pipeline, you need to convert the furnace.
4. After installation of the system, the height of the premises is reduced.

For a heating circuit that runs on water, you need to install a drain valve so that you can drain the water from the pipeline before the onset of winter.

Tools and materials

To make a water floor heating system in a bathhouse, you need to prepare a number of Supplies, tools:

• bypass and valve for its adjustment;
• a coil that will act as a heat exchanger;
• metal container 100 liters;
• thermal head - a mechanism for adjusting the heating temperature;
• collector - a part that distributes water along different circuits of the pipeline;
• pump to circulate fluid through pipes.

Additionally you will need various fittings, insulation, fastening elements, waterproofing, reinforcing mesh, vapor barrier.

Manufacturing instructions

The manufacture of pipelines for floor heating in bathhouses is carried out in several stages. The first of these is preparation, after which the main installation work can begin.

Preparation

Preparing the base for installation of heated floors:

1. Remove the layer of soil under the rooms where the heating circuit will be installed. Bury sewer pipe to drain liquid into a pre-prepared pit near the bathhouse.
2. Place a layer of crushed stone mixed with sand on top. Compact the layer.
3. Fill in a layer of expanded clay 20 cm thick, which will act as insulation.

After completing the preparation, you can begin installation work.

Installation

Installation steps:

1. Check the base for unevenness. Fill cracks and recesses with cement mortar. Knock down the bumps with a hammer.
2. Remove dirt, debris, dust.
3. Apply a double layer of waterproofing. To do this, the concrete surface is filled with molten bitumen. A layer of roofing material is laid on top of it. The individual strips should overlap each other.
4. The procedure with bitumen and roofing felt is repeated.
5. Thermal insulation is being installed. It is better to use penoplex. Layer thickness - 5 cm.
6. Place a reinforcing mesh on top of the insulation.
7. Cover the perimeter of the walls with damper tape. It is designed to compensate for the thermal expansion to which the screed will be subjected.
8. Arrange the pipes according to the chosen method. Secure them with clamps to the reinforcing mesh.
9. Connect the pipeline to the manifold. Start the system to check the tightness of the connection of the main elements.
10. Install pipes through which water accumulating on the floor of the bathhouse will flow.
11. Knead cement mortar, fill the screed.

All you have to do is wait for the cement to harden before you start laying. concrete surface tiles. The laying should be done at an angle, towards the water drain holes.

Starting and checking the system

A test run of the system should be carried out before pouring concrete. After completing the basic installation work, decorative finishing floor, you need to light the stove, wait a while to check the functionality of the heating circuits.

Many people do not like that the floors in bath rooms remain cold even when the bath is fully warmed up. This not only causes discomfort when walking without shoes, but also spoils the microclimate. To restore the level of comfort, you can install a water floor heating system, which will be powered by a sauna stove.

Useful video

From the video you can learn how to make a heated floor in a bathhouse from a wood-burning boiler:

What a heated floor is and how convenient it is today is known to everyone. We are talking about a bathroom or bedroom. What if you make a heated floor in a bathhouse from a sauna stove?

Collapse

Such a design exists and has long proven itself with the most positive side. There is no need to use additional electricity for this. Water acts as a coolant, and it is heated by... a stove.

Pros and cons of installation

This design has the following advantages:

• electromagnetic radiation will not have its effect Negative influence, which is inevitable when using electrical energy;
• this design is completely environmentally friendly;
• helps to heat the room more evenly;
• saving resources;
• fungus and mold do not receive a favorable environment for reproduction;
• There is no risk of a draft, since the entire steam room heats up evenly.

Let's move on to the disadvantages:

• the bathhouse is not constantly heated and there is a risk of pipes freezing, which can lead to failure of the entire system, so there is a need to drain the water from it every time;
• the heat exchanger consumes a lot of energy, which it takes from heating, therefore, if there is no adequate power reserve, the room may take longer to heat up;
• the volume and time of heating water will depend on how many adjacent rooms need to be heated;

Before construction

Let's give a few simple tips that will help you build with your own hands similar system at home. Such a system is fully justified if the stove is heated with wood.

Choosing a floor design

Experts recognize concrete screed optimal material for the floor in the bathhouse. The advantages are as follows:

• cement has high moisture resistance;
• simplicity of the device;
• cheap materials.

Flaws:

• damage can only be repaired after complete dismantling;
• Otherwise, it is impossible to localize the accident site.

In addition to concrete, you can also use wooden structure floor. Holes in the logs are provided in advance in order to carry out the necessary communications. This design, unlike concrete, will make it easy to carry out repairs without dismantling the entire floor.

Insulation

To prevent heat loss, the heated floor structure must be thoroughly insulated. For this, polystyrene plates are used. Special internal gutters will make installation as convenient as possible, and the metallized coating will reflect heat back into the room.

Other nuances

• Irregularities and distortions of the floor will not matter if you make a rough screed.
• Condensation will not accumulate if a layer of waterproofing is laid.
• All energy will be directed into the room and heat loss will be eliminated as much as possible, thanks to the thermal insulation layer.
• Thermal insulation will be protected by a reinforcement mesh.
• Thermal energy will not be lost due to the metallized substrate.
• The “snail” arrangement system will ensure optimal heating of the heating circuit.
• The slope to the drain must be provided when arranging finishing screed. Check the slope using a building level.
• Decorative coating will give the floor a finished look. Any material that is not contraindicated for a heated floor system can be used.

System Features

Due to the heat exchanger installed above the firebox, hot water will enter the system, cool down as it passes through it, and return cold again to the heat exchanger. There, the sauna stove with floor heating will heat it up again and the whole process will repeat.

A small circulation pump will help us return the cooled water back to the heat exchanger. Due to the circulating energy of the coolant, the room will be evenly heated.

You will have to lay a pipe with a diameter of at least 24 mm, which will reduce the resistance when the coolant moves. Standardly, for the system, a pipe with a diameter of 16 mm is used, but this will not suit us.

The heating system provides for the use of a coolant with a temperature no higher than +40 0 C. We will need to cool the water to the required temperature, since practically boiling water will come out of the heat exchanger, the temperature of which impossible to regulate.

Installation diagram

Manufacturing instructions

Now let's look at how to complete each step with your own hands. It is almost similar to the design in the house, but it also has its own specifics. Step-by-step instruction:

Operating rules

Operation does not require much effort. It is enough to follow a few simple rules:

• IN winter period drain the system every time.
• The operating pressure in the system must be constant.
• Problems with the pump and shut-off valves must be resolved in a timely manner.

Alternatives

A good alternative to water warm floor Electric and infrared heated floors can serve. Let's look at them in more detail.

Electric heated floors

Similar in nature to water floors. The electric heating cable, which replaces the heating circuit, is the main distinctive feature such floors. All other processes occur similarly.

The system requires the installation of an additional machine and careful waterproofing. On the other hand, no heating circuit, pump or heat exchanger are required. If in the previous case we did not have additional costs(with sufficient boiler power) for operation, then you will have to pay a lot for electricity.

There are two types of heating cable: with one core and with two.

The advantages are as follows:

• the floor is easy to manufacture;
• a water circuit for heating will cost more;
• installation of such a heating system does not take much time;
• The thermostat makes it easy to set desired temperature heating

Minus: high consumption electricity for heating.

Such a system can be used not only in a bathhouse, but also for heating floors in a house.

Infrared heated floors

Existing bath room puts the feasibility of implementing a water heated floor into question. In this case, an infrared floor comes to the rescue. It does not require dismantling the old coating. A thin film with a heater is easy to lay on any base. The installation of a final screed in the bathhouse is also not necessary.

The most durable safe and economical solution There will be a water heated floor. This is if we're talking about about building from scratch. In an existing bathhouse, an infrared floor is the most optimal solution.

When choosing a heated floor system in a bath room, you should consider the material flooring, planned costs and desired durability.

With an electric floor, not everything is so simple. Electricity tariffs are different in each region. Somewhere it will be appropriate. This design is especially relevant when using an electric heater.

In this case, the additional power consumption for the heated floor will not be a problem, since you will still have to provide an additional 380V line. And its advantages can be fully used.

Choosing which option to use is not so easy. Each will have its advantages in one situation and disadvantages in another. Only starting from specific situation, you can make the right choice.

Properties warm air are such that it rises upward, so it may be hot in the bathhouse, but the floor will remain cold.

Such changes are uncomfortable for many people, so you can make a heated floor system, which is widespread today.

It is easier and more expedient to make a heated floor in a bathhouse from a stove than to use electric floors. After studying the material in the article, you will be able to find out the features of the system and installation methods.

General information about the system

The water in the water circuit pipes will be heated by the stove

For a heated floor in a bathhouse, there is no need to install a boiler, since the heating will come from the stove. To do this, a heat exchanger should be made from a metal tank above the firebox.

From it it will be possible to lay water heating on the floor in those rooms where it is necessary. Additionally, you will need to install a pump to circulate water in the pipes.

Since it will not be possible to install a volumetric heat exchanger in the furnace, you should additionally place it next to it. battery tank and connect it using steel pipes with heat exchanger. To reduce heat loss, insulation is laid on the floor so that it can properly reflect it and the rooms will have the required temperature.

The main problem with a water-heated floor from a stove is the inability to regulate the temperature. For heating, it is recommended to heat the floor to 40 degrees, but in the bath the water gets hotter and you will need to additionally install a mixing unit.

To protect the floor itself from moisture, a standard cement-sand screed, and tiles are used as flooring.

Before installing the system, you need to familiarize yourself with the pros and cons, which are given in the table:

№	Advantages	Flaws
1	There is no electromagnetic radiation, unlike the electrical system.	In winter, it is necessary to drain the water so that the pipes do not burst from frozen water or the stove must be constantly heated. The best option– change the water to antifreeze.
2	Environmentally friendly and harmless to health.	Heating the battery tank will require a lot of heat, making the furnace less efficient for its main purpose.
3	Saved in the bath comfortable conditions, the floor remains warm.	To heat floors in several rooms, you should install a large coolant, which will increase the warm-up time.
4	Economical.

Warm floors can be made using several types of materials and devices, which are presented in the table:

Name	Advantages	Flaws
Concrete screed - for a bathhouse perfect option. Filling is simple and does not require special skills.	Saves money on building materials, and due to cement, the floor will be resistant to moisture.	You can use the floor a month after pouring, but if the pipe is damaged, you will have to remove the entire screed to be able to determine the location of the leak.
Polystyrene boards are easy to use.	Each plate already has a layer of foil, which allows it to reflect heat, and they are also equipped with places for fixing pipes.	It is necessary to additionally fill the screed.
Heating pipes in a wooden floor.	High maintainability.	Accurate calculations are needed to determine the laying of the pipeline.

To insulate the system, you can use any thermal material: mineral wool, expanded clay, polystyrene foam and other types.

Floor installation and preparation

A concrete screed is poured on top of the laid materials and pipes.

The warm floor in the bathhouse from the stove according to the scheme is made from the following layers:

1. A layer of waterproofing that will protect the floor covering from condensation collection.
2. The thermal insulation layer will retain the heat that can pass through the ceilings.
3. To protect the insulation, a reinforcing mesh is laid.
4. A layer of reflective materials with foil that will reflect heat into the room.
5. A pipeline laid in the form of a spiral to uniformly heat the area.
6. Screed for leveling surfaces with small slopes towards the drain hole.
7. Laying the final floor covering.

If the floor will be laid on open ground, then a cushion of gravel and sand should be poured in front of the waterproofing layer, and a layer of expanded clay should also be laid. Expanded clay will additionally perform a thermal insulation function.

Before any work, preparation is necessary. For a floor that will be heated by a stove, you should prepare a base and make a drain. The work is carried out as follows:

1. It is necessary to remove the soil between the foundation, under the washing room and compact the surface. You will need to first lay a pipe in the wall to drain water into the sewer.
2. A backfill of sand and gravel 15-20 cm high is made, after which the cushion is compacted.
3. The base is insulated using expanded clay. The layer of material is 15-20 cm depending on the climate.

When preparing the surface, you need to remember the slope for the drainage.

Step-by-step installation instructions

Heating the floor in the bathhouse using the heat of the stove is a profitable step

The base of the bathhouse is ready, which means it’s time to start laying out the pipes. For this you can use like copper pipes, and metal-plastic. The installation process is as follows:

1. Initially installed waterproofing material. For this, roofing material is used, which is laid in two layers. Its joints are glued together with mastic, and all strips of material must be perpendicular to each other.
2. Next, thermal insulation is laid.
3. The next step is to lay the reinforcing mesh, which will protect the insulating materials.
4. Pipes for floor heating are placed on top of the grid and connected to check their functionality and the presence of possible leaks.
5. When all the materials are laid, you can begin to pour the screed over the entire area of ​​the room. A damper tape is first glued around the perimeter of the rooms, which will prevent the floor from deforming due to temperature. Any type of mixture can be used for screeding.
6. The floor filling is leveled along the beacons and the angle to the drain is maintained.
7. The water heated floor is almost ready, after completely dry screeds, tiles or other flooring materials that will be applied. For more information about installing a water floor in a bathhouse, watch this video:

As you can see, it is not difficult to make a warm floor in a bathhouse using wood heating. As a result, the system will save money that could have been spent on purchasing a boiler and paying for electricity. By laying heating pipes under the floors, you can achieve a comfortable stay in the bathhouse, shower room and relaxation room.

Everyone knows that heat rises. The bathhouse is no exception, where even with high temperatures air, the floor covering remains cold, causing discomfort to our feet. And it won’t take long to catch a cold. To create a normal microclimate, many install a heated floor in the bathhouse from the stove, without spending money on purchasing an electric heating system. Will cope perfectly with the task of heating the floor water network, the coolant of which will be heated from the furnace.

Distinctive features of the system

If you decide to use a stove instead of a boiler, a heat exchanger should be installed above the combustion area. A metal tank or pipe registers are perfect for this. From the heat exchange point, water heating is routed to the rooms where it is needed.

Warm floors in a bathhouse from a stove are not difficult, but they have some special differences. In order to cold water could be returned through pipes to the heat exchanger, installation would be required circulation pump. It is dispensed with in cases where the stove is located slightly below floor level. But in this case, the pipes should be slightly larger in diameter than usual - at least twenty-four millimeters. But even then, the water circulation will leave much to be desired, and the system will operate with low efficiency.

The main problem with underfloor heating systems is brick stove is that there is no way to regulate temperature regime how is this possible with a boiler. To keep our feet warm and pleasant, the floor temperature should be within forty degrees Celsius. And the water in the bathhouse is sometimes heated to a boil. This means that in addition to the pump, a mixing point will have to be installed in the network.

How to install a heat exchanger in the stove big size This is not possible, a battery capacity is installed nearby. It is connected to a heat exchange tank using steel tubes. To avoid loss of thermal energy through the floor, the surface of its base is covered with thermal insulation materials. They perfectly reflect energy and help raise the temperature in the bathhouse.

If you look at photos of underfloor heating systems, you may not see one more difference - the device heated floors in a bathhouse implies the presence of a slope of the system towards the drain. Through it, if necessary, water will freely flow into the drainage network.

To improve the moisture resistance of the floor, it is recommended to install a concrete screed and lay a covering of ceramic material. A properly made heated floor in a bathhouse under tiles is considered the best option.

Advantages and disadvantages of a floor heating system

A heated water floor in a bathhouse differs from a stove in a number of advantages:

• none of the elements of the heating network will create electromagnetic waves, as it happens with the electrical system;
• the design is environmentally friendly for human body;
• an optimal microclimate is constantly maintained in the bathhouse;
• By using water as a coolant, heated from a common stove, good savings on heating are created.

Unfortunately, the system also has some negative aspects:

• In winter, the heating system must be drained of water to prevent it from freezing and damaging the pipes. Or you will have to constantly heat the stove, which is also not very convenient and sometimes even costly. In this case, many owners use a trick - instead of water, they pour antifreeze into the system;
• A lot of heat is spent heating the battery capacity. For this reason, the stove begins to heat the steam room and washing room worse;
• a warm floor in a bathhouse from a stove is a complex scheme, covering all rooms with its passage under the floor. This requires a significant volume of heat carrier, the time for heating it increases;
• Having installed such a heating system, the floors will have to be protected from getting wet. The fact is that moisture, having reached the insulating layer, will make it ineffective.

Arrangement methods and materials used

There are several methods for installing heated floors in a bathhouse:

1. The best option is a concrete screed. It makes it possible to save on material and reliably protects against moisture. But such a coating can be put into operation only a month after its installation. And if suddenly it gets damaged plumbing system, it is very difficult to find the leak. The entire floor will have to be removed. Read also: "".
2. Polystyrene boards are popular. They have a special reflective layer of foil and have convenient recesses that help secure the pipes. But on top of such a covering you will have to arrange a screed.
3. It is quite possible to install a heated wooden floor in a bathhouse. But everything needs to be calculated accurately in order to arrange holes in the joists through which the pipes will pass. This type of floor is easy to repair.

The thermal insulation layer can be made from expanded polystyrene, mineralized wool, expanded clay or polystyrene foam.

Device diagram

In the photo, the design of heated floors in a bathhouse may look like this:

• a waterproofing layer that prevents condensation from accumulating on the floor;
• thermal insulation – helps retain heat;
• reinforcing mesh, with the help of which protection of the insulating layer is created;
• foil reflector directing heat into the room;
• piping system spiral type so that the floor is heated evenly;
• screed sloping towards the drain;
• fine coating.

Preparatory activities

Before starting work on arranging a heated floor, it is necessary to prepare the foundation and think through the right system plum.

The work is performed in the following sequence:

1. The soil is excavated inside the washing compartment within its foundation, and the surface is carefully compacted. At the same time, a pipe is laid in the foundation wall, through which it is planned to drain water into the sewer network.
2. After that it gets settled sand-crushed stone pillow fifteen centimeters thick, compacted.
3. Twenty centimeters of it is covered with expanded clay. The slope is maintained.

Installation work

Some owners are experimenting, trying to use cheap way- arrange a heated floor in a bathhouse made of bottles. But it is best to use copper or metal-plastic tubes.

Having finished preparatory work along the base, begin laying a system of pipes through which the water coolant will move:

1. As waterproofing, roofing felt material is used, which is laid in two layers. The joining areas are coated with mastic. Stripes in layers should be placed perpendicularly.
2. Next is the thermal insulation material. But remember that you must maintain the slope towards the drain.
3. To protect the insulation, a reinforcing mesh is laid, and heating system pipes are laid on it.
4. Having completed the connection and organized a performance check, proceed to filling concrete screed(more details: " "). Before this, a damper tape is laid around the entire perimeter to protect the floor from thermal deformation. The screed is made of sand and cement, reinforced fiberglass is added to the solution. Permitted to use ready-made mixtures dry type.
5. The poured screed is aligned with the installed beacons. It is necessary to arrange a slope towards the drainage hole.
6. After waiting the time necessary for complete hardening, floor coverings can be laid on the screed.

In a word, it is quite simple to set up a floor heating system from a stove. This method will provide an opportunity to save a lot on the purchase of a separate boiler and the cost of electrical energy.

Among all heating systems, heated floors are very popular these days due to their technical specifications. For some residential buildings it is necessary to purchase electrical systems, but the owners solid fuel stoves luckier, since they can install water circuit heating.

Warm floors from stove heating V wooden house- This great way make the room temperature more comfortable and distribute it evenly over the entire area. In this particular embodiment, the element that heats the coolant is the furnace, and there is no need to install a boiler.

Features of a floor heating system using water from a stove

A heat exchanger must be installed directly above the firebox, because the stove will act as a heating element. For these purposes, an ordinary metal tank or welded pipes are suitable. It is from this that the water floor heating system will be installed in all rooms.

Based on the fact that it will not be possible to install a large-capacity heat exchanger into an ordinary stove, you will need to build a battery tank connected to the heat exchanger next to the stove. To prevent heat from escaping from the room through the base of the floor, foil thermal insulation is laid on it, which effectively reflects energy and helps normalize the temperature.

In addition, you will need a pump to return the cooled liquid back to the heating tank. The only exception is ovens that are located below floor level.

Attention! The auxiliary pump is installed on the general return, and not on the cycle that does not warm up well. If you install the pump separately on any of the wings, the water will circulate in a small circle.

The normal temperature for a heated floor is considered to be 40°C, and a brick oven, unlike a specialized boiler, does not have an automatic regulator, so the indicators may differ significantly from the norm. Therefore, in addition to the circulation pump, you will need to install a mixing unit.

If it is necessary to install several circuits for different rooms, a manifold is mounted between the boiler and the floor surface, to which valves with thermal heads and two- or three way valves to smoothly regulate the operation of the system.

Advantages and disadvantages of the system

A warm water floor in a wooden house under a screed from a stove is characterized by the following advantages:

• Saving on fuel, ease of maintenance and installation.
• The circuit is mounted inside the screed without reducing the usable area.
• Environmental friendliness.
• High heat transfer with relatively low energy consumption.
• Uniform heating of the room, absence of cold zones.
• Possibility of heating several rooms at once from one boiler or stove.
• Long service life.

The disadvantages of the system include the following:

• For rooms with a large square footage, a large volume of coolant is required, so it will take a lot of time to heat it up.
• If a wooden house is located outside the city and is used as a summer house, and not for permanent residence, then before leaving you must drain the water, otherwise during severe frosts Frozen water can burst pipes.

Tip: To protect the system from freezing, you need to use polyethylene pipes and fill them with water with the addition of antifreeze. They should be placed at a distance of 20-25 cm to avoid warm and cold areas.

Types of device and materials used

The layout of a heated floor from a stove in a wooden house can be done in several ways:

• On a concrete screed - this is the cheapest, most reliable and moisture-resistant method. With its help, you can reduce the cost of building materials and do not require availability for work. practical experience. TO negative qualities This method involves the duration of the process - the floor becomes ready for use only a month after pouring. In addition, if the pipeline is damaged, determining the location of the leak without dismantling the entire coating will be problematic.
• On a screed using polystyrene plates that have factory-ready recesses for fixing heating pipes. They are distinguished by ease of installation and a reflective layer of foil material to retain heat.
• On wooden base. Laying on logs is considered the most labor-intensive process, requiring precise calculation of the locations of the holes for laying the pipeline. On the other hand, the maintainability of such floors is much higher.

Tip: The height of the insulating layer ( mineral wool, expanded clay, expanded polystyrene or polystyrene) should be 15-20 cm - this factor depends on the climatic conditions of the region.

Installation of a warm water floor from a stove in a wooden building

Water floor heating consists of the following layers:

• Waterproofing. It prevents condensation from settling on the structure.
• The thermal insulation layer prevents heat from escaping from the room through the bottom.
• Reinforced mounting mesh to protect insulation materials.
• A layer of thick foil to reflect heat.
• A pipeline lined with a snake or spiral to uniformly heat the surface.
• Leveling screed.
• Finish coating.

In some cases, when it is necessary to lay the floor directly on the ground, before laying the waterproofing layer, a “cushion” of gravel and sand is compacted and an expanded clay layer is poured. This is necessary to create additional thermal insulation conditions.

Heating system installation

Any work on laying heated floors, as well as other options, must begin with preparing the rough surface. It must be cleaned of old worn coatings, compacted or sanded to bring it to a perfectly smooth state. The height difference between the base in one room should not be more than 0.2 cm.

After preparation, you should begin laying the heating pipeline:

• To begin with, roofing felt is laid out in two layers perpendicular to one another as waterproofing. The joints of the sheets are carefully glued with mastic.
• The second step is the flooring thermal insulation material and covering it with a mesh.
• Pipes are laid directly on top of the mesh.

After connecting the pipes to the system and checking it for defects, the screed is poured. For this purpose, a cement solution with fiber reinforcement or diluted ready-made dry mixtures are usually used.

The screed is poured evenly and leveled. Cement may slightly change volume during the drying process, so to prevent deformation of the finished coating around the perimeter of the room, damper tape should be applied before pouring.

After complete hardening (the drying process lasts about thirty days), you can begin laying facing materials.

The method of heating floors using water from a stove is easy way, which at the right approach and following all recommendations, will save money on the purchase of a heating boiler and electricity costs.
