Carbon floor heating: specifics of the system device and installation example

Carbon floor heating is an innovative option for creating space heating and open spaces. It is based on the use of an infrared heater, in which graphite-silver rods play the role of a heating element. They are connected in parallel with each other using an increased security cable.

The main functional advantages of this solution:

Possibility of use, both as the main and as a comfortable heating;
"Living warmth";
Low degree of load on the floors;
Profitability
Possibility of shutdown in the winter;
It does not require the allocation of a special room for the boiler room;
Efficiency over the life of the entire structure;
Intolerance to corrosive processes;
Suitable for flooring all types without exception;
It is mounted even on large areas.

It can be safely noted that there are practically no restrictions on the use of this system. Currently, therefore, can be heated:

Private houses and cottages;
Apartments
Balconies, verandas and loggias;
Hotels, motels, hotels;
Industrial premises.

Important! This heating system is fire and explosion proof. It is great for heating waterlogged rooms and does not generate electromagnetic radiation.

Description of system installation technology

For the installation of carbon fiber underfloor heating does not need special skills. If desired, all the work can be done independently. The entire installation process can be divided into the following stages:

Preparation of the necessary materials: carbon mat, thermostat-thermostat, couplings, bitumen insulation, corrugated tube, electrical wiring set, heat-reflecting material;
Determination of the area and surface configuration on which the laying of the warm floor is planned;
Cleaning and preparing the base of the floor for laying heat-reflecting material;
Laying a heat-reflecting layer;
Preparation on the floor surface of a place for laying a floor temperature sensor, which is laid in a corrugated tube;
Unfolded carbon mat. The stripes are distributed evenly over the allotted surface and are connected to each other;
Carbon mat is fixed using masking tape;
The temperature regulator is installed;
Checks the correct connection of carbon elements;
The system is connected to the thermostat;
Mounted corrugated tube for floor sensor;
The floor sensor is inserted and connected to the thermostat;
The temperature controller is connected to the mains;
The carbon mat is turned on, its performance and reliability are checked;
A cement screed 2-3 cm thick is evenly applied.

Installation example of carbon fiber heating layer

Attention! The carbon fiber underfloor, which is planned to be laid under the tile, requires the installation of a cement-sand screed, as well as the use of special tile glue.

Design features of carbon rods

A material based on polyester and polyethylene is used as a protective insulating shell of carbon rods.

Inside, the heating elements are filled with a carbon-polymer-based composite material. To connect them, a heat-resistant stranded wire of copper 2.5 mm thick is used, which is additionally protected by a 3 mm sheath.

Those who have tried the innovative heating system on their own experience claim that there is no alternative to it at the moment. A room with such heating is always dry and warm, while the natural humidity is not disturbed. Such conditions are provided by a technically unique intellectual system implemented on completely new principles for the design of heating elements. And carbon fiber underfloor heating is an economical way of heating a room, which is extremely important especially recently.

All currently available carbon floor models on the market are accompanied by detailed installation and operating manuals. The consumer can only show a little patience and diligence, and you can forget about the problems with heating for a long time.

Tile carbon floor DOES NOT REQUIRE screed devices, only glue for underfloor heating.

These mats have one constructive problem - a lot of contact connections. And the screed and mortar under the tile, to one degree or another, absorbs moisture. And if there are microcracks or cavities in the connections, the contacts burn out or oxidize ... But there is a way out, a carbon cable. The principle is the same as that of carbon mats, but the minimum of connections, ideally two, is plus and minus ...

Full Gauno !!! People do not buy this shit, money down the drain. It works for a year then everything is like in the second review.

As soon as this novelty appeared, carbon-fiber underfloor heating, we read, studied and bought for a large bathroom, the room was about 20 squares. Installed according to the instructions, everything worked perfectly, comfortable temperature for the legs, very pleasant warmth .... BUT this was only the first year. In the second year, the floor began to warm in parts, islets. My husband and I were very upset. In the third year, the temperature in the sensor did not rise above 20 degrees. Paul was left to heat only in two places. In the fourth year, the floor stopped working completely. They thought the problem was in the sensor, measured the resistance, there was no resistance with everything: - ((What happened we cannot understand. The master tiler who put this carbon floor is probably the most meticulous person whom I know, he has done everything honestly, I know him for many years. The installation of the floor was monitored personally, video instructions from YouTube were made. In general, I still could not find out why the floor stopped working so far, there is no limit to disappointment. I do not want to open the floor and lay down new tiles ....

I have been eyeing various electric floor systems for a long time - I want to equip such a system in a country house. I have power from an autonomous diesel power station, so an electric floor, in my opinion, would be a better choice than water. In this regard, I am interested in how much carbon floor heating will be more economical than heating mats? And due to what, when using electric current, they achieve the fact that the carbon warm floor does not create electromagnetic radiation.
