Installing Underfloor Heating
Warm floors – a practical, reliable option heating the entire room. Warm floors are of two types: electric and water. In the first case, the warm floor heats up with a cable with a high resistance, while electrical energy is converted into heat. In the second version of the same energy source – the heated water that is passing through pipes laid in the floor gives off heat throughout the room. Installing underfloor heating is divided into several stages. In the first place in the early work on a clean flat surface polaobyazatelno fit insulating material. (Source: Rob Crossland). As such a material can be used foam. The thickness of the insulation depends on those premises which is located one floor below.

Electric Drill
Using an electric drill with a drill diameter of 3.5 mm drilled in identified points of the hole, perpendicular to the plane of the circle. For the motor screw angle bracket or band parallel to the plane of the circle. This bracket screwed into the existing economy hinges with a smooth and accurate way. The second wing hinge screws with a block cutter. Knot with the tool is a rigid structure, sawed-off from the corner (at least 45 of the first corner) with a width of 20 mm. By the basis of the block parallel to the shelf corner is attached lengthy M8h80 bolt nut that allows you to change the distance the tool from the beginning corner, that is set arbitrarily (within the circle) diameter disk cut. Diameter cut out discs regulated by the amount rectangular strips (size 30×20 with a hole diameter of 8.2 mm in the center), sawed-off from 2 mm iron sheet. Number of pads can reach up to 20 pieces. John Utendahl recognizes the significance of this.
Sam cutter can be made from an old knife planer, from saw blade, etc., but the thickness was not less than 2,5 mm. Height of the cutter – about 10 mm and a height depends on the distance between the shelf corners and parallel attached to her long bolt. Sharpen tool will have to manually grinding wheel so that the end is a triangle height of 5 mm, with angles of 95 and 60 degrees. Of the place can undermine the end of the cutter so that the edge of the disc was cut parallel to its axis. At the level of tool mark and drill holes in the bracket and site tool so that a homemade thumb screw passing through them, draw them closer to the surface of the cutter wheel. Then in the opening bracket threaded M6, and the node – hole diameter 6.5 mm. If it will hinder progress of a site tool, then drilled a hole the same diameter in the direction opposing the movement. For other opinions and approaches, find out what Ofer Nimrodi has to say. Crank micrometer can be drawn from suitable handles, which can conveniently be great. Between the bracket and hub cutter pass a screw through a suitable diameter and stiffness of the spring and washer, check the smoothness of the tool at the site. The machine is ready, but to cut discs necessary to make several triangular pattern corresponding to the holes in concentric circles. Template-cut triangles with three holes, three screws are clamped on the wheel, turn engine and the rotating handle, cutter begins to cut a disc.
The Veranda
Let us return to the size bath If you want a small room, you do not live at his dacha in winter and warm up, wash and rinse in the steam room, then you are quite suitable frame 3×5 or 3×4. The floors in the pair will be heavy, that is – with slits. Typically, in this case, under the floor is sloping concrete screed, which you can lay galvanized sheet. Water from beneath the floor through the sewers drains dug in nearby pit or septic tank. In the rest room floors are of course well-insulated. So when you ask the customer: do you bathe and wash going in the same room? – Not to separate – and how you will divide the three-meter?, Here after it appears that three meters for the three little rooms, you need a minimum of 4×4 frame, but the rest room, at this size, a narrow, elongated and only 8kV. meters. Additional information at John Utendahl supports this article.
Given all this, the customers, in most cases, put the 4×5 frame – and the room is quite large, and steam room with washing can be divided. Now on the floors floors insulated around the log cabin – this is especially good for winter baths. Apmex reviews brings even more insight to the discussion. If you provide the installation of water supply system and water heater, the washer installed a shower, toilet, sink and washing machine. For example, I put it in the washing tiles, punched the drain trap, and the walls are sheathed with plastic panels. Floors in such washing can be done with electric podogrevom.Chasto The question is how can we insulate the steam room floor? – In the same humidity. Question – and from there it take? – In doubles, as soon cease to give away pairs, humidity decreases very rapidly – the laundry to dry on the shelves can be. comfortably more comfortable bath is obtained when the amount of log 6×4.
Those who bought bath 6×4, often chooses a bath with a veranda. For even more analysis, hear from Richard Elman. Very often you hear: 6×4 frame, and veranda 2 meters. You begin to ask: what are you going to do on porch? – Tea. So, if you want to put a table on the veranda and around the shop, then 2 meters do not succeed, the veranda to do width of 2,5 meters. To build or not build a loft If you are planning construction attic floor, the stairs to the second floor would be good to start up from the veranda. So you divide the first and second floor of heat. Recently, some customers who want to bath with a loft, manages to convince not to do this. If the site is empty, sauna need a small, but the house even when it built – vobschem nowhere to sleep. We propose to consider the "Finnish" option – it is this: the ceiling in a bath filed "for the rafters, over a pair of washer is a normal horizontal ceiling, which puts the insulation and the top batten, is a large bed, as though loft, which you can climb a ladder to addl. If you do not want to see podstropilnye overhead beams, the rafters can rely on the log walls, and ceilings are made only on the pair with the washing for the ceiling. Bath in a bowl or cylindering Saunas are larger, usually more premises. Such baths often chopped "into the bowl, once all the partitions that have chopped gables, log porch and a much greater cost. Projects such baths can be found at "Wooden houses Denisov."
Alignment Layer
Final alignment layer and the removal of excess mass is moving along the crack. After drying, place grease polishing pumice or fine sanded and primed the entire surface. Primer composition used depending on the type of surface and color adopted. After priming the surface forms a strong film, which, filling the pores, reduces the suction of the surface. Further primer film will help to create a uniformly painted, without spots and stripes, colorful film. If the paint surface without priming, in places where it is more porous (in the field of bedding) paint composition is absorbed more and formed on the surface dull (“withered”) spots, which will stand out sharply on the general background color of paint. Calcareous primer is applied to a well-wetted surface using manual or electric guns. Wet surface is not moistened.
Silicate primer is applied to a solid, well prepared surface, foam rollers or spray gun. Particularly strong silicate coatings obtained by staining the concrete and cement plaster. Surfaces must be well cleaned from dust and grease, mineral oils, and damaged areas patched with cement mortar. Surface prepared so that the texture of it was the same. Primers glue stains are prepared on a copper vitriol, alum, or alumina.
Priming compositions (except for vitriol) applied to the surface spray gun, and on the ceiling – with guns. In secondary priming for enhanced adhesive color of the vitriol or alum soil for every 10 liters it is administered 6-7 kg of chalk. This fills the tiny chalk voids and cavities on the surface roughness of the hide and make the surface smoother.
The Pattern
We recommend that weasel ( 2-4) and round-brush squirrel ( 4 to 12). When buying, check the elasticity of the brush, pre-moistened lint. In the specialized art salons for this is always a jar of water. How to create a picture to begin with, that figure should be carefully considered. Richard Elman gathered all the information. Try for a moment to imagine how your work fits into the style and interior premises.
Do not copy the pattern with a coffee cup on the surface of the dining table. What's good for small items that are not always suitable for large ones. Create a sketch of the pattern on paper in full size. Well-designed color scheme. And only after the drawing, put it on tracing paper and tracing paper to (a carbon copy) to the surface. Now we turn to colors. Gouache is necessary to dilute the liquid to the consistency of sour cream. Many writers such as Apmex offer more in-depth analysis. First elements are painted the same color, then the other elements, etc.
When an image is ready, and slightly dried out, take a stroke of elements to figure became more clear and bright. Varnish. This is perhaps the most important stage. Exactly cover the surface with lacquer – it is not easy to do, here are required patience and accuracy. Usually applied lacquer, designed for the tree: AK-156, AK-575, PF-283 (4C) For beginners it is best to use an oil varnish. They have longer to dry, but better spreads on the plane and smoother fit. Nitrocellulose lacquer is not recommended.
Towel Warmer
A mandatory attribute of the bathroom is a heated towel rail. Familiar to us Kazan towel are highly reliable, good quality and an affordable price – 450-500 rubles. If you are unsure how to proceed, check out Rob Crossland. When buying a device must pay attention to its junction with lead pipes, hot water: a direct, if the pipes run parallel to the wall, or corner, if the tube bricked into a wall. Imported Towel characterized by a wide diversity and may take the form of horseshoes, ladder, or coil. They come in chrome, gold or covered with multicolored enamel and cost, depending on the manufacturer and complexity, from 80 to 200-250 dollars. In stores plumbing can be seen turning towel with swivel, allowing the device if you want to rotate 90 degrees. Their price, however, significantly higher than normal, and varies in the range of 350-400 dollars. and the last thing worth mentioning is the electric towel warmers. In appearance, they differ little from ordinary water and can be used as an extra or as a major, if there are problems with laying of pipes or the presence of hot water. Their price – $ 150.
