Need help for rugs on under floor heating
Comments (2)It's true that rugs reduce the heat from the floor for underfloor heating, but you can put them on it. We have rugs in our living room and hall and have no problems with heating the rooms. They used to say you couldn't carpet over underfloor heating but now people do, with the right underlay. Just make sure you are not covering all (or most of the floor and it'll be fine)...See MoreWhat's the best flooring over undefloor heating?
Comments (5)In terms of conducting heat, the tiles will be slightly better but the wood will also allow heat to eminate through. Just make sure you check with the suppliers that the tiles / wood are suitable for use over underfloor heating. With the wood, you may need to lay a suitable membrane beneath it. The engineered boards will need to be fitted with expansion gaps and any tiles fixed with flexible adhesive and grout to allow for expansion and contraction with the heat....See MoreUnderfloor Heating and Wood Floors

Comments (5)Is does seem that the lesser known brands of LVT are the same thickness and same warranty as the major brands- the difference seems to be the colour choice and size of marketing budget. So as long as you like the colour choice with another brand then I think the cost saving is worth having. Separately the issue with herringbone over an expansive area is making the pattern meet up- generally a competent fitter will have no problems- I wonder if the issue is that you aren’t actually looking at LVT but instead floating floors (click together floors as opposed to stick down to the screed). Floating floors need to expand and over a large sized area can need an expansion strip adding which looks fine if you can add it to a doorway but looks odd in the middle of a large room....See More

6 years agoMost definitely not solid wood flooring ... as everyone above has advised.
The whole reason we stopped producing Solid Wood Flooring and manufacturing engineered wooden floors as opposed to Solid Wood floors is due to their inherent stability within 21st century installations i.e. underfloor heating systems / air conditioning etc.
Our engineered wooden floors once installed look exactly the same as solid wood flooring (see below) and the usable hardwood wear layer (i.e. from surface to the tongue and groove ) is the same depth - so the same longevity, and you can have them oiled, bespoke stained , texturised to suit your interior. If you change your decor in years to come, you can sand your floor and stain to suit...
These 2 floors are both the same ...Character Oak engineered flooring but the floor above has an antiqued stain - this would work well within an Edwardian interior ...whilst the one below is clear UV oiled Character Oak flooring. Character Oak works wonderfully in all interiors as it has a beautiful, timeless quality...
