Soojendusvõrk

A soojendusvõrk, often translated as heating mesh or heating grid, is a type of electric underfloor heating system. It consists of a fine mesh onto which heating wires are attached at regular intervals. This construction makes it particularly suitable for installation in thin screed layers or directly under tiled floors, making it a popular choice for renovations where floor height is a concern.

The heating wires are typically made of resistive materials that generate heat when an electric current passes through them. The mesh serves to hold the wires in place and to provide a stable structure for embedding in adhesive or a thin layer of screed. This ensures even heat distribution across the floor surface.

Soojendusvõrk systems are generally low-profile, meaning they add minimal height to the floor structure. This is a significant advantage compared to some other underfloor heating methods that require thicker screed beds. The installation process involves laying out the mesh, connecting it to a thermostat and power source, and then covering it with tile adhesive or a thin screed.

The primary function of a soojendusvõrk is to provide radiant heat, creating a comfortable and consistent floor temperature. They are commonly used in residential bathrooms, kitchens, and living areas, but can also be found in commercial spaces. Control is typically managed by a thermostat, allowing users to set and maintain desired temperatures. Safety features are integrated into the design and installation to prevent overheating.
