HEATING FILMS

Projection notes

• Heat is transferred into the room by conduction, radiation and convection in the floor structure. The emissivity of the final covering has an influence - this applies to all types of underfloor heating (carbon foil, hot water systems, etc.).
• The reflective foil placed under the carbon heating foil has a completely negligible effect and is therefore not necessary.
• Carbon foil radiates heat up and down equally, so the thicker the thermal insulation underneath (Arbiton, EPS, XPS, PIR, Hobra, mineral wool, etc.), the better the result.
• Always install only one type of foil with the same area output in one heating circuit.
• The cumulative performance of the carbon foils in the room should be at least 1.3 times the calculated heat loss of the room.
• Many years of experience show that the real energy consumption is about 60% of the value determined by the standard day-step method (thanks to fast and precise control and heat production only where it is needed).
• When laying floor boards or final coverings directly on the carbon foil, it is necessary to embed the supply cables and connectors into the grooves in the thermal insulation, or to insert another backing board (preferably Hobra) under the foil and create the grooves in it.
• The concrete or anhydrite above the foil must contain additives designed for underfloor heating.
• The floor covering chosen must be suitable for electric underfloor heating.
• In bathrooms and similar areas, carbon foils must be connected via a current protector and covered with a grounding grid, or use foils with integrated grounding.
