Insulated linoleums. Complex, thick and expensive material with low thermal conductivity values. Not recommended for use with heated floors, reduces the efficiency of the heating system.
Insulated linoleum

It is necessary to pay attention to one more characteristic of linoleum – the presence or absence of a fabric underlay. If there is such a layer, then the thermal conductivity indicators are significantly reduced, it is undesirable to use the material for the arrangement of a film warm floor.

Once the type of linoleum has been selected, you can begin the process of laying the heated floor. To do this, you will need a thermal film (the exact amount will be known after taking measurements) with all the additional elements, a thermostat to control the heating modes, any heat-reflecting material, ordinary polyethylene film, tape, a stapler, a mounting knife, scissors, pliers and a screwdriver.

Choosing a heated floor kit

Step 1. Preparing the base. If the floor is nigeria mobile database on concrete floors, the surface needs to be leveled. For this, it is better to make a cement-sand mortar screed; there should be no protrusions more than 3 mm on the surface.

Leveling floor screed

A waterproofing layer should be laid on a completely dry screed (you can use a regular film or coat the base with modified bitumen mastics), and OSB or plywood sheets are laid on top. It is recommended to fasten to the concrete base with dowels in a staggered pattern.

Step 2. Take measurements and draw up a diagram of the thermal film layout. In doing so, take into account the layout of the room, the placement of sockets or electrical cable distribution boxes.
