Which types of hardwood floors are best for in-floor radiant heating systems?
Radiant heating is a growing source of heating in North America, both in residential and commercial installations. Engineered hardwood floors are the best floors to use with radiant heating systems. These floors are manufactured of hardwood using a three-ply laminated construction, making them inherently dimensionally stable. This means they are less susceptible to changes in temperature and humidity. It is important to note that when installing any hardwood floor over a radiant healing system, the maximum temperature of the subfloor should never exceed 80° (F).
