What is the best wood flooring to use over radiant heat?
The best type of wood flooring style to use would be an Engineered Floors. One of the benefits of using an engineered floor is that the floor boards are locked together at the joints of each board and not nailed or adhered to the sub floor. This allows the whole floor to move as a single unit if a dimensional change within the wood floor takes place. Another reason is that an engineered floor with a stable plywood backing makes for a more suitable floor with less chance of dimensional movement than a solid wood floor.
