I’m going to a hardware store - what to buy for a device for a water heated floor in a bathroom?
I make repairs in the bathroom and I want to arrange a water heated floor. I have two young children, so in the bathroom this design is very relevant. He invited a specialist for consultation, and he advised me to make a water structure, and put a tile on top, as expected. I know that the system I have chosen will work well only if all the component materials are selected correctly. My neighbor’s floor waterproofing was poorly done, and when the screed was poured, they damaged the pipe. After a while, it leaked to the neighbors. So I doubt how not to make a mistake. Of course, you can make an electrical system, but in my apartment there is autonomous heating with a water coolant, so connecting to it will not be difficult, in this sense, everything is ready for me. Tell me a specific model of a water floor with specific names of materials, so that I go to the building materials store already fully prepared.
Your fears are true, the material system really needs to be selected very carefully. And waterproofing is one of the most important stages of the device of a floor cake. The entire technology of laying water heated floors is described in detail on our website, with regard to specifics, we advise you to pay attention to the following points:
- As a heater, you can choose polystyrene foam brand not lower than 35 kg / m3.
- The insulation must be glued to the base along the perimeter with deformation strips.
- For preparation of a clamping coupler, use Thomsit SE 93. This is a quick-hardening concentrated mixture made at the rate of 1: 5. In this case, a 40% aggregate is used consisting of sand, cleaned of impurities and 60% of gravel screenings of a fraction of 8 mm.
- Use Ceresit CR 66 as a waterproofing protection for the room. The finished solution should be applied to a slightly damp base with a thin layer, using a brush or mackerel.
- The sealing tape Ceresit CL 52 is perfect for making an expansion joint. It must be pressed into the newly applied layer of Ceresit CR 66.
- Subsequent layers must be applied perpendicular to one another. Moreover, you do not need to wait until the fresh layer dries.
- Tile cladding can be started after 72 hours. For its laying, Ceresit CM 17 adhesive mixture can be used, and subsequently we recommend Ceresit CE 40 for sealing expansion joints.
