Warm floor under the laminate

Warm floor has become today one of the most popular means of space heating. Therefore, the possibility of combining a warm floor and a laminated floor is a very topical issue.

If there is no corresponding mark on the package and in the product description, it is not known how the laminated coating will behave when heated from the inside. On our site you can get an opinion on the warm floor under the laminate flooring, reviews on this option for flooring and choose a suitable coating brand for yourself.

Reviews on the feasibility of using a warm floor under the laminate

Infrared film underfloor heating NEOCLIMA
A comment
In the spring they decided to redecorate the apartment - to refresh the flooring in the nursery, in the bedroom, to re-stick the wallpaper in the hallway, in the nursery, as well as to refresh the ceiling - to repaint. Since the repair was not expected to be overhaul, but cosmetic - the choice of underfloor heating was small - only film, because I did not want to fence the screed.

We chose the energy-saving floors of one well-known coleo company, and then we were convinced that there was nothing to overpay for the “untwisted” brand and we found exactly the same energy-saving ones on which you can put Neoclima Carbon + furniture.

As we were told in the store - this is the same. only 10 thousand cheaper turned out. such an amount is not superfluous! Therefore, the choice was clearly in favor of NEOCLIMA CARBON +. And do not regret it! Indeed, energy consumption decreases as it warms up, although my mother doesn’t cry!

The electricity bill issued a verdict - round-the-clock use of such a warm floor fell to us at 110 rubles a month! Economically! And you can put objects on it and it will not burn like other floors! the guarantee, by the way, on such a warm floor is 50 years - enough for our age!
pros
Economical, cheaper than the analogue of another company, you can put furniture, round-the-clock use fell at 110 rubles a month - SHOCK AS CHEAP!
Minuses
There is no temperature controller in the kit, I had to buy separately.
Term of use
half a year

When we got the apartment, it was necessary to invest a lot of money in the repair. However, I wanted to do well right away so as not to redo it. We decided to put a warm floor in the bathroom and in the kitchen. The main selection criteria were price and quality. We considered many options for imported and our analogues. As a result, we chose the number one Warm Floor. "The model was inexpensive, I was pleased that it can be mounted under any coating. It has been working properly for the fourth year. We decided to save electricity by using a temperature regulator from the same manufacturer.

Initially, it was planned to install a warm floor of the brand Devimat DSVF-150, under the tile, but then changed their minds at the last moment and bought a laminate.

All hired workers were laid, they worked according to the following scheme. laid a warm floor, and then filled the whole thing with a screed, about 5 mm, bulk floors were used as a screed. After which they dried out for about a week, in general, the period indicated should be on the package. Then, within a week, we still removed moisture from the screed to the maximum, switched on the floor periodically and let the system work. And only after that the workers proceeded to laying the laminate.

At the moment, my family is really enjoying the floor, in fact, having a warm floor in the room is practical and convenient. I now plan to install it in other rooms, not only in the kitchen.Of course, I will advise warm flooring under the laminate - this is convenient.

When I began to finish the house, I decided to install a warm floor everywhere, on top of it I laid tiles in the bathroom, but he hesitated with the rest of the house for a long time, but in the end I took a chance and laid the laminate. The coating took a thickness of 7 mm, as it turned out that the laminate would be thicker to resist heating, but then there is no point in a warm field. The substrate used Izo-floor Thermo. I set the temperature not higher than 29 degrees, in the end I get 26-27 degrees on the surface of the laminate, walking on it is very comfortable, cozy.

Children run barefoot at home, and my wife and I have long forgotten about slippers. I will not say that the floor is hot and it is not at all cold, but moderately pleasant, warm. So, do not be afraid, you can install a warm floor under the laminate, the main thing is to use the appropriate laminate. I recommend, I am satisfied, everything is fine, everything is fine.
pros

Film underfloor heating with laminate, convenient and comfortable.
A comment
They installed a warm floor, more than 5 years ago, at that time it was still not so popular. For all this operating time, impressions are only the most positive from him. As a floor covering, I chose a laminate from the UNISTEP trademark, class 33, with a thickness of 13 mm. In the instructions for the laminate it was written that it can be used for warm floors. I used a film floor heating HOTFILM, Korean production, the width of the film, as I recall, is 1 mm.

According to the operation, I will say that the floor heats up very quickly, it becomes pleasant and comfortable to walk on it. The air temperature can be controlled using the temperature controller sensor, it’s very convenient, also with it you can program the floor heating for a week, effectively, and it becomes much more free time, nothing needs to be done manually.

When repairing the entire heating system, a water-heated floor was installed in the bedroom, my wife insisted on laying a laminate on top of it, for a very long time I doubted her ideas, but after much persuasion I decided to make concessions. The laminate was chosen Quick Step Eligna 12 mm, the installation was done quickly, it is necessary to apply all the rules of thermal insulation, the substrate was used special, which is designed specifically for water heated floors.

The only minus of such floors is that they are completely unregulated, in the first year of use, the temperature was high, as a result, the lock could not stand and broke, it was a little but still not nice, and sometimes it’s just an eyesore. So that electrical in this regard is more practical.
pros
Warm, comfortable and beautiful

It is necessary to monitor the temperature and not make it too large
