Warm floor under the tile, laminate, linoleum. Which is better? How to choose?

Do you want to make the floor in an apartment or a house warm and cozy? The best solution to the task will be laying a warm floor, which can be used for both laminate, tiles, and linoleum.

On the tile, the warm floor is usually laid in those rooms where the floor covering should be resistant to moisture and mechanical stress. Tiles are most often seen on the kitchen floor, bathroom, toilet, storage room or store. This easy-to-use floor covering is quite cold, so there is often a need for additional floor heating. Depending on the room that you plan to heat, you can choose a water or electric floor heating.

What is the right floor under the tile for you? It depends on several conditions: if you are faced with the goal of making the tile comfortable even for bare feet, you need to pay attention to the power of the warm floor, which must be at least 220 W / m2 in this case. The price of such a floor will be higher, but this capacity will suffice with a margin. Pipes of water-heated floor should be placed at a distance no more than 20 cm - under such conditions the floor will be heated evenly. In the kitchen under the tile you can use floor of lower power: 150-180 W / m2.

The preparation of the base for the warm floor also depends on its type. The film warm floor can be laid on a wooden base, covered with plywood or chipboard and from above put on the glue tile. If the cable floor is used as a heating system, it will be necessary to make a screed under the tile.

Underfloor heating under laminate

Laminate - a modern and beautiful floor covering, which is becoming increasingly popular. Laminate - itself a warm and pleasant material, it makes the apartment cozy. The laminate is nice to walk without slippers, and lovers of extra comfort can install a warm floor under the laminate.

Warm floors will warm the air in the room and eliminate excess moisture. Which one to choose a warm floor for a laminate - depends on the type of premises and the quality of the coating on which the floor will be laid.

Not the last role is played by the financial wishes of the client: the price per square meter can be very different. If you choose an infrared heated floor, a concrete screed is not needed, but a water floor will require more complex installation: concrete screed, thermal insulation, pipe laying, and therefore - more serious financial investments. Alignment of the floor and the screed base reinforced mesh may be required and those who decide to mount an electric warm floor.

It is better to get a warm floor under the laminate after consulting with specialists who will assess the condition of the floor and the scale of the forthcoming works and preliminary calculate their cost.

The simplest option - buying an infrared warm floor. The film floor can be put in any rooms. The only requirement when laying the infrared floor is a flat base.

You can put a warm floor on a wooden floor - the main thing is that on a wooden base there are no bumps or cracks. If you put the infrared floor on a balcony or a loggia - take into account that nearby there was an opportunity to connect to a 220 V network.

Underfloor heating under linoleum

Linoleum - inexpensive, convenient and practical floor covering, suitable in any premises. Linoleum easily fits into any interior, just look after it. If you plan to install under it a warm floor, then you need to pay attention to its thermal conductivity. Most often, under the linoleum, they acquire an electric or infrared floor.

Linoleum must choose a multi-layered PVC - it is combined with any kind of floor heating. It is also important that the linoleum is resistant to fading and deformation, which can be accelerated by exposure to high temperatures, and has a high mechanical and chemical resistance. Do not choose a linoleum with an additional thermal insulation layer, thinking that this will make the floors warmer - on the contrary, a thick layer of linoleum will reduce the level of heat transfer. Optimum choice will be a thin linoleum, resistant to heat.

When choosing a warm floor, make sure that this heating system and floor covering are suitable for each other. Infrared and electric warm floor is combined with tile, linoleum, laminate, carpet, and water - more demanding on the type of flooring.
