Sometimes, our clients, and in the case of reform works, ask us how thick our heating system reaches, since this type of project is conditioned and limited, to a large extent, to the current heights of the house.
In the sections that we accompany you, the two installation models of the system are detailed, whether it is a “cold” final floor (porcelain, stoneware, marble, etc.) or a laminate floor, parquet, wood, vinyl, etc. .
Cold tile floors, porcelain, stoneware, ceramic, etc.
- Heating system thickness = 2.07 cm
- G-600 polyethylene cloth (0.30 mm)
- Radiant foil (0.40 mm)
- Extruded rigid insulation (20 mm)
- (Possibility, if there is a height limitation, of installing a 6 mm extruded insulation with which the heating system would occupy 0.67 cm)
Examples of installation and total thicknesses
- Ceramic (8 mm) + dry screed (20 mm) + polyethylene (0.30 mm) + radiant foil (0.40 mm) + insulation (20 mm) = 4.87 cm
- Ceramic (8 mm) + dry screed (20 mm) + polyethylene (0.30 mm) + radiant foil (0.40 mm) + insulation (6 mm) = 3.47 cm
- (If self-leveling is installed instead of dry screed, 1 cm must be added to the previous thicknesses)
Wood, laminate, vinyl floors
- Heating system thickness = 0.67 cm
- Double G-600 polyethylene cloth (0.30 mm)
- Radiant foil (0.40 mm)
- Extruded rigid insulation (6 mm)
Examples of installation and total thicknesses
- Laminate (8 mm) + polyethylene (0.30 mm) + radiant foil (0.40 mm) + insulation (6 mm) = 1.47 cm
- Laminate (8 mm) + polyethylene (0.30 mm) + radiant foil (0.40 mm) + insulation (20 mm) = 2.87 cm
In this last option we want to make special mention of the design of the heating installation, occupying thicknesses of 1.87 cm and even less than this value, depending on the thickness of the laminate. As well as special mention to the speed and cleanliness of the installation.
