Apply floor heating in slots
The specialists in the field of floor heating will most likely place the floor heating in slots that they mill in the existing subsoil of the house. These slots will always be deeper than the thickness of the tube itself, causing it to disappear nicely into the floor. Then it is important to seal the slots again.
Smearing up slots, with which?
In principle, it is up to the specialists who take care of the placement of the underfloor heating to lubricate the slots they have made for installing the underfloor heating. Make sure that this is done with, for example, fast cement, but Never With flexible tile glue. This is simply not strong enough and will rupture, detach and crumble at the temperature increase, this is also called silting by the professionals. In addition, it is strictly not recommended to use egaline to close these slots. Egaline is very thin and liquid and will ensure that the pipes of the underfloor heating will float and no longer 'fall' away in the slots.
Quality sealing floor heating important for leveling
The neat sealing of the slots of the underfloor heating is extremely important for determining the amount of millimetres of equalization that will be necessary in the next step of the process. The thickness of the layer Egaline Will be determined by how neatly the slots are lubricated. When these are lubricated smoothly, no more than a "standard layer" of leveling agent will be required. However, has the sealing not been done neatly and has this been done quite rough? You can think of a not so beautiful finishes with sometimes some small dots or as we call them "volcanoes". Then thicker will have to be leveled to compensate. Of course, no problem in itself, but this always results in a much higher cost in the equalization process for which you have to bear the burden.
Always work with the heating protocol
Any brand in floors (such as for example Floer , Douwes Dekker , Sense PVC Or Vivafloors ) Provides a specific firing protocol to be carried out for their floors. This can often be found on or in packaging and otherwise on the brand's website. Incidentally, it is also up to the person responsible who places the underfloor heating to provide you with this. After all, this knows all the ins and outs of the specific installation in your home. The firing protocol of floor brands is set up a bit more general. This firing protocol must be performed once before leveling. So that any errors and non-functioning parts can be fixed, but also so that the operation will be out of the screed. After leveling and installing the floor that you have in mind, the firing protocol must be executed again. Do this with policies and exactly as the brands dictate. This is how you avoid problems.
