In the procedure of the choice of electrofloor there are no special difficulties – it is only necessary to understand, the choice is how exactly made and to take conditions in which it is necessary to use it into account. First of all definition of kind of electrofloor depends on material which should be bought for surface finishing.
How to choose ETP under tile
At arrangement of floor with covering from ceramic tile has perfectly proved cable option. Such designs will be suitable for mounting in any room. Laying is carried out in in advance prepared tie. Similar systems are convenient for rooms with difficult planning. By preparation of the scheme of laying it is possible to consider availability of various roughnesses, piers, furniture. If the self-regulating cable is applied, it is not required to establish temperature regulator that many times simplifies mounting.
On the systems of cable floor most of the masters who are going to execute laying under tile stops. Fast warming up of surface is so provided, warmly indoors remains for a long time after the electric power is disconnected. If it is correct to meet the operating conditions established by the producer overheating of cable is excluded.
How to choose ETP under laminate
When choosing systems of heat-insulated floor for laying under laminate it is worth making a start from characteristics of material. Viewing marking will help to make the decision. For example, it is possible to meet laminate with marks in the registration certificate which will help to understand, the water or electric option will be for them more suitable. Heating coils under laminate should be chosen not higher than 110 W/sq.m on power.
What look the most economic
For owner-occupied dwellings with big area the water system will be the most effective economic option. That expenses on mounting have come true, it is better to choose such floor for buildings with area from 30 sq.m.
Cable floor is considered also quite inexpensive and economic type of heating. But it has powerful shortcoming – need to carry out cement screed that increases height and conceals part of useful space indoors.

Features of different types of systems of warming
Water systems:

- Are reliable.
Shortcomings: difficult mounting, need of thorough calculations and long-term test, there is danger of leakages.
Electrical systems:
- Inexpensive
- Are effective during the work
- Do not demand difficult mounting
- Mounting will not have considerable impact on floor height.
Shortcomings: it is necessary to create thermoinsulation, waterproofing course surely. There is opinion that such floors emit the electromagnetic radiation which influence on organism is insufficiently studied.
