Can an engineered floor be laid over underfloor heating?
Yes you can install an engineered floor over underfloor heating aslong as you follow a few special requirements: • The floor construction must have a heat distribution layer that provides a very even temperature over the entire floor area, in order to avoid localised excessively high temperatures. • The whole floor area must be heated. • It must be possible to control and limit the surface temperature with great accuracy. • The surface temperature of the finished floor must never exceed 27C at any point. • A vapour barrier must be built into the floor construction, as close to the wood floor as possible.If the joists are thick or heavy, it is particularly important that the vapour barrier is close to thewood floor. The vapour barrier must never be underneath the joist structure. • Ensure that there are no air gaps between the wood floor and the surface beneath, as this couldcause the wood to dry out. • The working temperature when laying should be at least 18C. This applies to boards,
