Underfloor heating is an increasingly popular way to bring cosy warmth to modern homes, but choosing the right flooring to complement it can be challenging. Not every wood flooring option is suitable for underfloor heating, as wood is a natural material that expands and contracts with temperature changes. Solid wood, for instance, often struggles with the constant fluctuation, which can lead to warping or cracking. However, engineered wood flooring is specifically designed to provide stability under these conditions. For the best efficiency, it’s recommended to opt for engineered wood flooring with a thickness between 14mm and 16mm, ensuring it’s tailored for underfloor heating. This way, you get the beauty of natural wood alongside the functional benefits of a warm, energy-efficient home.
