Instructions for installing wood flooring in a place with underfloor heating:
1. Once you received the wood, you will need to put the boxes in the room for 7-14 days with the heating on 21-22 degrees. 2. UFH system should be switch off before installation. 3. Increased temperature only few degrees per day over 7 days. 4. Then you can use the heating as you need
Please make sure that the max degree in any time will not exceed 26 degrees. For full guidance please check our Installation and Maintenance page.
Ground Prior to installation, make sure that the ground is smooth and levelled, and that a suitable drainage system is placed. That is in order to ensure that no water or damp damage is done to the deck.
Joists 1. Leave a gap of 300mm -500mm between any two joists. 2. Decking board must be installed end-to-end on the joists, whilst leaving a 1.5mm/metre expansion gap.
Decking Boards 1. A gap of 6mm should be left in between any two decking boards. This can be controlled by the fitting clips. 2. The recommended board length should not exceed 3 metres. 3. Decking boards should be fastened with a 45-degree angle in the middle of each board, to ensure that all boards are securely fastened and no movement can incur.
Edges When installing the facial board onto the outskirts of the deck, make sure that only one nailing is done, either on the decking board itself (from the top) or onto the joist (from the side).
