Heating of a country house using an infrared system for the

Most often, residential buildings are heated using special boilers that increase the temperature of the coolant. However, in conditions of temporary residence, this method is not very suitable, since in the winter period the liquid in the pipelines may freeze. Therefore, it is proposed to consider the heating of the dacha at home using an infrared floor.

Important advantages of the method

Such a system is a novelty in the market of heating systems for various types of premises. It is highly popular due to its versatility. The main components are special mats, which are spread on a properly prepared surface.

A list of the main advantages can be found below, after which it will become clear how to heat the country house.

• The price of infrared products for heating of this type is not very high, which makes it possible to dispense with minimal expenses.
• Laying electric mats can be done independently, in this regard, it is quite realistic to minimize costs.
• At damage of separate segments all system does not fail, and continues to function properly.
• During repair, there is no need to perform large-scale actions, because it is enough just to replace one component.
• The overlap does not prove to be a serious load, since the weight of the whole structure is light enough.
• The whole system is very compact, so after installation, the useful area of ​​the room is not greatly reduced.
• With the right power calculation, the power consumption of the heating structure is not very high.

Addition! The list of advantages and disadvantages may vary slightly depending on the type of product. There are film and tubular products that allow for heating by infrared radiation.

The principle of the system

Such a heating scheme for a country house works by passing electric current through special elements. They consist of two parts: the heating section and conductive lines, which are located at a certain distance from each other. Such a device allows you to evenly distribute radiation.

Electric energy is supplied through conductors, which are protected by an airtight film having a coating of fire-hazardous polymer. Due to this, the product becomes resistant to moisture and other atmospheric influences. Other ways of heating a country house suggest the functioning of a completely different principle, therefore, not so effective for temporary residence.

Installation process

The technology of laying is quite simple, so it can be made independently with certain knowledge. Further, it is proposed to consider detailed information on how to heat a country house with infrared radiation, by laying the heating elements under the floor covering.

Materials for the device system

• A set of film or tubular mats acts as the basis for the heating system.
• The thermostat is a device that is intended for automatic control of equipment.
• Heat-reflecting insulation should separate the heating elements from the floor slabs.
• Construction tape is required for bonding joints between mats.

Approximate sequence of actions

In this case, detailed instructions will be provided for laying mats with infrared radiation until the flooring is laid. Finishing will begin as soon as the country house heating system is arranged.

During the works it is necessary to adhere to the following procedure:

1. Heat-reflecting material is placed on the lower plane of the room.. As such, foamed polypropylene can be used, for example. Joints are sealed with tape.
2. Directly on the prepared heat-insulating barrier laying of mats is carried out, at the same time the air barrier should not be formed. The joints are taped.
3. The installation of the thermostat is made so that the system can function automatically. After that, the cables are laid out, and also those places are determined in which it is necessary to remove the insulation.
4. The wires are connected and the sensor is connected to the thermostat. A test run of the system is in progress. If it functions normally, then the protective film and the floor covering are laid.

Note! From the above data it becomes clear that the process of the device system with infrared radiation is quite simple. Other options for heating the country house suggest more complex operations.

Operating rules

After the house will be heated, you can begin to learn the basics of operation. They are fairly simple, but must be followed without fail.

The following is a complete list of operational rules.

• It is strictly forbidden to drive in the dowels, nails, as well as to screw in the screws and other fasteners into the lower surface of the floor, under which the mats are located.
• The temperature of the thermostat at the settings should not exceed 35 degrees, which is reflected in paragraphs SNiP 41-01-2003. Limit value may vary by manufacturer.
• When the country houses are heated by laying mats, it is not possible to install metal sheets on a heated surface.
• Do not clutter up the warm floor with plenty of furniture without legs, since the effective heat release to the air will be disturbed.

Additional recommendations

If the heating for the country house is arranged with the use of film mats, then it is advisable to follow the advice of manufacturers and specialists.

• The connection of elements should be carried out in accordance with the basic provisions of the EMP, SBI, CSR and SNiP.
• In the process of installation should be used only thermostats that are intended for infrared systems.
• It is desirable in the cold season in the absence of a long time in the room to maintain a minimum level of heating.
• If damage has occurred to the components of the system, then you need to completely isolate this place.

As a conclusion

This information will help to create an effective heating of the country house with their own hands, using easily stacked mats that emit infrared waves for heating. Such a system can be installed under the laminate, linoleum, ceramic tile and many other types of coatings. In more detail with the products of this type can be found, if you carefully watch the video.
