Wood Floors and underfloor heating

Artisan Flooring - Wood Floors and underfloor heating

Not all types of hardwood floors are compatible with underfloor heating systems, as some woods may warp or crack when exposed to high temperatures. Here are some hardwood flooring options that work well with underfloor heating:

Engineered hardwood: Engineered hardwood is made up of multiple layers of wood, with a top layer of solid hardwood. This construction makes it more stable and less prone to warping or cracking than solid hardwood. It can be used with underfloor heating systems as long as it is installed correctly and the manufacturer's recommendations are followed.

Maple: Maple is a hard, dense hardwood that is less likely to expand or contract with changes in temperature and humidity. It can be a good option for underfloor heating systems as long as it is properly acclimated and installed.

Oak: Oak is a popular hardwood flooring option that is also compatible with underfloor heating. It is durable, stable, and has a classic look that works well with a variety of interior design styles.

It's important to note that regardless of the type of hardwood flooring you choose, it is essential to follow the manufacturer's recommendations for installation and use with underfloor heating systems. This will help to ensure that your floors remain stable and durable for many years to come.

Quock important note - Solid wood is NOT compatible with underfloor heating.
