What kind of floor coverings can I use with Warmboard?
Virtually any floor covering that is ordinarily installed in a wood framed home can be installed on Warmboard. Carpet is installed with conventional nail down tack strips. Slab foam rubber pad is the best pad to use with Warmboard. Vinyl, in conventional construction (as with Warmboard) is always installed over 3/8″ under-layment, attached to the subfloor. Hardwood is nailed directly to Warmboard, typically at right angles to the tubes. The best installations use vertical grain, relatively narrow planks, that have been properly acclimated for moisture. Tile is installed using conventional mortar bed or backer board techniques. For more information please see floor coverings.
