To make this work quickly and it is only qualitatively enough to buy all necessary materials and to choose the way of warming which is most suitable for you.
Instruction
1. To warm floor in wooden house, it is possible to get and lay special linoleum with heat-insulation layer, and from above on it to put warm carpet. Certainly, this easy and inexpensive way will not help to solve completely arisen problem, but initially will prevent loss of heat.
2. Installation of the special system "heat-insulated floor". It promotes improvement of microclimate indoors, allows even to pace during hard frosts about the room barefoot and provides the correct drying of wood, interfering with moisture penetration under floor. This system develops heat by means of heating cable which keeps within on all floorage and is connected to the electric socket. The technology of installation of heating system does not demand special skills. On floor it is necessary to lay aluminum foil, over it to lay heating cable and then to fill in everything with concrete layer 3-6 cm thick. From above it is possible to lay linoleum or warm carpet.
3. Also expanded polystyrene will help to warm wooden floor. This construction material has cellular structure thanks to what, provides very good thermal insulation. Besides, expanded polystyrene is durable in use and is applied generally to warming of floors on soil and floors over basements. It keeps within directly on floor that excludes need of waterproofing course.
4. Effective way of warming is the flooring of double floor. The first layer is so-called draft floor which is constructed as follows: on beams by means of special grooves nevystruganny boards are fixed. It becomes so that between them and beams there was no gap left through which under floor moisture can get that will cause subsequently such negative process as rotting. Further on boards organic heater, mineral wool or haydite keeps within. Laminate, carpet or linoleum can act as top layer.
5. Warming by means of mineral wool. This material as well as possible is suitable for such works. It is resistant to fire, possesses high zvuko- and thermal insulation, has good water-repellent indicators and also throughout the long period of time keeps the qualities. Mineral wool keeps within so that the party which is not covered with perforation has been located above.
