Domestic floor heating Warmstad - inexpensive equipment from the company Teplolux. It is suitable for installation under all types of flooring. The package includes heating elements (cable section or mat), mounting tape, protective corrugated tube for the sensor.
Appointment of underfloor heating Warmstadt
Varmstad products provide a comfortable microclimate and normal home heating. The system is mounted in order to:
- heating the main floor covering;
- maintaining normal temperature;
- the main source of heat in the house or apartment;
- backup heating in case of using a heating system.
The manufacturer establishes a warranty on products for a period of 25 years.
Advantages and disadvantages
Heating devices are designed for residential and non-residential premises. They have several advantages:
- a large assortment - in the manufacturer's lineup there are 16 models for various heating areas;
- low cost - provides real savings on the repair or replacement of communications;
- quality due to multilevel protection - alumolavsan insulation, shell made of cross-linked polyethylene;
- compatibility with all types of coatings;
- Warranty period of use - 25 years (from August 2018);
- ease of installation and connection.
Among the disadvantages of Warmstad floors is a decrease in the usable area of the room when using mats, the absence of a self-adhesive base, and an increase in penetration.
System specifications
The release of the Warmstad brand warm floor is carried out in the form of a cable and mats. The technical parameters depend on the type of product.

- thermal power - 150 W / m2;
- diameter and type of cable - 2-core 3 mm;
- installation method - in tile adhesive or screed.
Heating mats are compatible with tiles, parquet, carpet, laminate, linoleum.
Varieties of underfloor heating Warmstad
The electric look of underfloor heating is a high-quality and universal heating system. Teplolux company produces several product options.
Cable sections WSS
Suitable for screed installation, as cut into pieces. The basis is a two-core heating element about 5 mm in diameter. The standard set includes a two-core shielded cable for voltage 220 V, end and connecting couplings, installation wire.
Features of the underfloor heating for screeds 3-5 cm thick include:
- The uniformity of heat fluxes. Depends on the installation step. In a cool room, the distance decreases with the aim of greater heat transfer, in a warm room it increases to capture more space.
- Electrical safety - on the surface of the cores, aluminum-lavsan shielding.
- Long-term operation due to polymer insulation with increased heat resistance.
- Adhesion with concrete screed.
The power of heating communications depends on the location of the cable turns.
Thermostats WSM
Electric heating mats are available in the form of a thin (3 mm diameter) cable mounted on a plastic mesh. Between turns the same step is observed. Standard equipment is represented by a heating cable on a roll mesh, a corrugated tube for the sensor, and couplings. The thermostat is equipped with a regulator.
Warm floors are suitable for installation in any room, they allow you to save the height of the main coating. It is advisable to install them as backup heating. The Warmstad heating mat has the following features:
- quick installation work;
- uniformity of heat supply;
- protection against voltage surges and surges of the electromagnetic field;
- maintaining the height of the floor due to the small diameter.
Thermal mats are not suitable for parquet materials.
Mats and sections are cable products consisting of two heating cores for uniform heat supply, eliminating the risks of overheating. To achieve electrical safety, the manufacturer uses a screen based on alumolavsan.
The insulation is made of polyethylene with chemical crosslinking, the shell is polymer, heat-resistant. Mats are equipped with fins with couplings that increase their mechanical resistance and durability.
Film floors
An infrared design with a thermal power of 150 W / m2 is made from thin carbon filaments baked in flexible plastic. 3 micron carbon materials are processed at a temperature of +140 degrees.
The film product is installed for all types of coatings; it is distinguished by power and energy efficiency. As a heating element, carbon is used, laid along the film in thin lines. The advantage of infrared floors is uniform and fast, heating in 5-40 minutes.
The temperature regulator and thermal insulation are not supplied with the IR film kit.
Installation of underfloor heating Varmstad
Before starting installation work, the permissible wiring power is calculated by summing all household appliances. Consider the installation process on the example of laying mats.
- Preparing an even coating. The surface is primed to improve the quality of the hitch, cleaned of debris and dust.
- Organization of screeds for uneven floors. The heating line will be located on the reinforcing mesh.
- Layout layout preparation. For the correct distribution of the mats, a drawing is drawn on which the installation points of the temperature controller and temperature sensor are indicated.
- Installation of mats according to the scheme or cable tie on nylon clamps. Products can be cut without touching the veins. When laying, the turns are at the same distance - about 5 cm.
- Compliance with the distance from the walls - 5 cm.
- Grounding the grid with a copper wire through the thermostat when laying in the bathroom.
- Setting the controller 80-90 cm from the tile in a convenient place.
- Mounting the temperature sensor at a distance of 50-60 cm from the walls in the tube.
- Closing the tube with a plug and checking the free play.
- Laying the cable in a pre-drilled wall.
- Checking the health of the system.
Warm floors in damp rooms are mounted without regulators.
First inclusion
A trial run of the system allows you to check the quality of installation, the functions of the main elements and the quality of heating. Testing is performed as follows:
- Turning on the power of the underfloor heating.
- Starting the thermostat and leaving it on.
- Inspection of mats for heat.
- Turn off the temperature controller and system.
At the time of the initial start-up, the thermomats will heat up in 8 hours - 2 days, depending on the floor area and the purpose of the communications.
System safety and operation rules
The manufacturer offers an instruction manual in conjunction with a device passport. The document noted the features of the system.
- Installation is made on a screed from 3 cm (cable) and glue (mats).
- Installation of cable sections is carried out under the screed of the laminate or flooring, mats - under the tile or natural stone.
- Before installation, it is necessary to check the compliance of the dimensions of the warm floor with the heating area.
- One cable or mat should not be laid in two rooms.
- When connecting, it is necessary to focus on the color of the insulation of the cores. Yellow-green throws itself to the ground, brown - to the phase, blue - to zero.
- The thermoregulation sensor is connected to terminal 1 and 2, alternating voltage is applied to terminals 5 (zero) and 6 (phase).
- Mats and cables are connected via an RCD rated up to 30 mA.
- Heating products from 2 kW are connected to a separate line through a difavtomat.
- Mats cannot be mechanically stressed.
Safety regulations:
- Gently cutting the mesh at the time of installation. Other deformations and tears of the material are not allowed.
- Connecting the system to a 220 V.
- Connection of products through a temperature regulator.
- Exclusion of the effects of lubricants and oils on heating devices.
- Using soft shoes or covering the cable / mats with plywood while walking.
- Full filling of screed or tile adhesive.
Maintenance, installation and repair of the system is best entrusted to specialists.
Operation of Warmstad floor heating systems equipped with temperature controllers allows to reduce heat loss in the room. The equipment is economical because 30% of the electric power is spent on heating. You can choose systems in the form of a heating cable or thermomats for any type of coating.
