Underfloor Heating
Guidelines for Underfloor Heating
Fitting engineered flooring over a wet underfloor heating system requires careful consideration to ensure both the floor’s performance and the heating system’s efficiency. Follow these guidelines:
- Choose engineered flooring designed for underfloor heating.
- Acclimatise boards to the room’s temperature and humidity.
- Maintain the manufacturer’s recommended temperature before, during and after installation.
- Prepare the subfloor properly and use suitable underlayment.
- Follow the manufacturer’s installation guidelines.
- Provide expansion gaps as specified.
- Select an appropriate installation method (nailing, gluing or floating).
- Control temperature changes gradually to avoid stressing the wood.
- Consider professional installation for best results.
