• The thickness of the heated floor saves some useful space of the room.

• Additional load on the floor is very small, due to the minimum layer of the heating system.
• Uniform heating of the room and the ability to accumulate heat balance. Achieved by laying a warm floor in the screed, which transfers thermal energy into the room.
• To select the required power of the heating system, it will be necessary to perform a simple calculation.

• The possibility of organizing a zone heating premises. This applies to those places where it is planned to install large-sized items. In this area, you can not perform the laying of heating elements.
• There is the possibility of heating both large and small spaces.
• Autonomous heating system. In this case, the consumer himself decides when to turn on the heating.
• Simple installation and clear instructions.

• It is possible to lay a heat-insulated floor practically under any floor covering and in any conditions.

These heating elements have a wide range of application options, including heating of houses and other buildings, as well as street and room heating. The main difference of the cable mat from the previous category is that here the same cables are fixed on the mat with a certain step. This approach greatly simplifies the installation process. Of the features of this category of electrical heating elements, it is worth highlighting the following points:

• Huge assortment.

Some models of heating structures Devi:

• Devimat DTIF-150. The model of such a system is made in the form of a shielded version of a mat with two conductors, in which there is one cold end with insulation from a Teflon component. This design is intended for heating rooms with repaired thin floor surfaces. The main characteristics of this system:

This is an improved option for space heating,which is characterized by an incredibly fast installation: laying of a warm floor is made in the morning, and after lunch the finished product turns out to be warm in the house (this is possible if a new floor is laid immediately after the installation of a heated floor). Two Devi systems belong to this warm floor:

• Devidry. The system consists of 8-millimeter heating components, inside which a heating cable is mounted.

• Devicell. This system consists of a polystyrene plate, whose thickness is equal to 12 mm and an aluminum plate with a thickness of 0.8 mm with flats for a cable that are 10 cm apart from each other. This system is used in conjunction with cables brand Deviflex 10T and 6T.

The following briefly describes the principles of installation work for certain categories of underfloor heating:

• For heating cable, the installation principle is quite simple.The installation is carried out using the snake method in a floor screed, then it is connected to a temperature controller. When plugged into the network, the cable heats up, which leads to the appearance of heat in the rooms. Warming up time is rather short, which allows to get a warm comfortable floor in a short time interval.

• The installation of the heating mat is not particularly difficult, as is its configuration. You need to connect the mat according to the scheme provided by the manufacturer. To do this, roll out the roll onto the base and connect the cable to the socket, which has a temperature controller. This option is considered the best for tiles, because it can be laid directly on the cable system.

Below are a few rules for choosing a warm floor:

• When buying an electric heating element, you should pay attention to the conformity of this brand to the floor covering under which the heated floor will be laid. It is easy to learn: you need to pay attention to the icons that the manufacturer indicates on the package.
• An important factor is also the power of the heating elements. There is a relationship between the flooring and this indicator. Need to get advice from the seller.

• Posting in the premises. It is important to know whether the existing wiring can additionally take the load from the floor heating.
