Which floor heating choose Floor Systemsheating are characterized by the fact that the heat flow is uniformly distributed over the area of the room (bottom to top). At the same time, an optimal heat balance is established at different levels of the heated room volume. At the surface of the floor (at the level of the feet), the air temperature is 22-26 ° C, in the ceiling zone - 18-20 ° C, and in the middle (at the head level) - 20 ° C (for comparison: in rooms with conventional wall radiators, at 18 oC, 22 oC, 26 oC, respectively). Due to this temperature regime, convection currents (rivers of warm air) almost do not arise in the room - culprits of drafts and flying dust. In addition, floor heating does not affect the interior of the room and does not force designers to rack their brains about the decorative camouflage of heating appliances. There are two types of warm floors: water and electric. The first are used in houses with an autonomous heating system (cottages). In urban apartments connected to the municipal heating network, simple installation and operation are installed, as well as affordable electrical heating systems. At present, the Russian market offers a wide selection of electric warm floors of foreign and domestic production. Among them are SST-Teplolux, Eltek Electronics, Chuvashkabel (all - Russia), Devi (Denmark); Ensto (Finland), Ceilhit (Spain), Raychem (Germany), Kima, Thermo (both Sweden), Nexans (Norway), etc. The products of these companies are certified and comply with all international and Russian electrotechnical standards (reliability, .).
