A water floor is a system of pipe loops that are installed in a concrete base. Such systems are sometimes mounted in wooden bases, in this case, the efficiency of heat transfer is seriously reduced, and the possibility of decorating the floor is also reduced..
Hot water flows through pipelines, insulates the floor and warms up the given room. The surface for thermal water floors is very diverse — ceramic tiles, stone finishes, laminated panels, and so on..
That is, a simple installation of a water heat-insulated floor is a puff cake in which
each layer has its own function, therefore, without taking into account the part of this floor, you will not get the optimal result. The base of a water heat-insulated floor is concrete, sand, earth or boards, but the best base is concrete.
All this is because concrete serves much longer and more reliably. To reduce mechanical loads from the gravity of the entire structure, along its perimeter, along with waterproofing, a damper tape is laid. To reduce heat losses and direct heat flux, an insulating layer is used..
The next layer is a contour pipe system, it performs functional tasks, this is the main component of a water heating floor. These pipes have a large margin of safety, but it is not recommended to install them on concrete slabs or linoleum. They need to be laid on layers of screed for uniform heating of the entire floor..
These floors are often used in swimming pools..
