Installation of a warm floor system in the bathroom is an excellent solution in the fight against the cold floor. In order to make warm floors in the bathroom, first it is necessary to dismantle the old coating.
Next, the riser is prepared for connecting to the heat floor system. Water supply riser is better to install polypropylene. For the work of inserting into the central riser of cranes, it is recommended to call plumbers from the service organization.
But you can not complicate your life, calling plumbers and other specialists, but simply to buy an electric warm floor that does not require connection to the central water supply system.
Then, the stage of laying waterproofing follows. It is needed to avoid thermal losses so that the heat received goes around the room, and not to the ceiling. Waterproofing should be laid, connecting the seams using a soldering lamp, or a building hair dryer.
The next step is to pour a black expanded clay screed, or a cement solution. Tags are made through the entire perimeter of the room through the level. The black screed is located below the clean floor by 5-7 cm. You should not pay attention to minor irregularities. For 2-3 days, the screed must be treated with liquid (small number).
Next, pipe laying follows. Before this action, a foil insulation is applied, which will play the role of a thermal crane. In the area of joints, the insulation is glued with aluminum tape. Pipes are usually laid in a spiral, you can also lay a snake. The pipes are attached to the screed, and attach to the riser is made. As for the withdrawal of pipes, they are installed on them, which is processed by silicone sealant. The stack of laying the pipes of the water floor should be from 10 to 35 cm. The gap from the wall to the nearest pipe should be at least 7 cm.
After the sealant dries, you can proceed to the trial launch of the warm floor system. The first stage of testing lasts 30 minutes. Water is poured into the system under pressure, which should exceed the usual indicator by 1.5 times, this is approximately 0.6 MPa. The second stage lasts 2 hours, the water pressure value of the reached level 1 should not decrease by more than 0.02 MPa. If there are no leaks, you can disable the warm floor system for cooling.
The final stage is the filling of the final screed. The masonry mesh is placed, lighthouses are installed, and the floor is poured. It is necessary to pay attention to the smoothness of the surface. About a day after a day, the floor in the bathroom will already dry out.
