engineered floor and underfloor heating

luiss6
16 giorni fa

Hello,
In our flat we have an underfloor heating fairly dated without manual temperature control. There is a sensor in the flat that dictates how much it should heat to achieve a certain temperature.

We would like to install a wooden floor (engineered) whose manufacturer advised that it cannot heat more than 27 degrees.

We are torn between giving up the underfloor heating and the Woden floor.

Any suggestions?

    I think life was much simpler when heating was just radiators! I would just choose the flooring you love and forget about the UFH.

      Adding some pictures of the type of floor we are after. Believe it or not but we struggled to find the colour (dark walnut) and finish (smooth) that we wanted. Almost all was lighter colours or not smooth

      Is the underfloor heating wet or electric? I wouldn't have thought that any underfloor heating would be set as high as 27 deg. 20 or 21 is the recommended temperature. I don't understand why you can't have both? We have an oak floor and wet (piped) underfloor heating linked to an ASHP.

      Hi Isla, it’s electric - I agree. Bad from the underfloor heating company not having a system compatible with wooden floor

      I would chose the floor and install electric radiators hard wired on the walls. That floor is beautiful and the join incredible between the two materials. You always have to suffer for beauty. You really should get some expert advice. Could you contact a heating engineer and ask these questions? What type of floor did the flat have before the renovation?

      Most UFH systems are compatible with Engineered wood flooring products, but course always check with the manufacturer.


      I'm not understanding why you need it heated more than 27 degrees?


      Wood flooring companies like ours generally never recommend going over 22/23 degrees though It can go up to 27. As you don't want to be regularly shocking the wood i.e going hot to cold as long term it could cause warping.

      Do consider a humidity monitoring Fid Box.


      At Woodfloors4u all of our engineered wood and vinyl floors are compatible with UFH.


      Image shown looks very similar to our Walnut Oak Lacquered floor - link below:

      Some people do not seem to understand how a heating system works. Just because your room temperature is set at 21 degrees, it does not mean that the heating source measures 21 degrees. A standard radiator can be as hot as 60 degrees.

      So my advice would be this:

      1. Never take advice from anyone who doesn't understand how heating works .

      2. Form versus function: how something works is always more important than how it looks.

      3. Beauty is never worth suffering for.

      4. There are plenty of flooring systems designed to be laid over underfloor heating. Use one.
