Can we place flooring on quiet warmth under floor heating?


Hello, Thank you for contacting AHF Products.                                                          Most of our engineered floors can be installed over radiant heat. We recommend following the following guidelines: SUBFLOORS WITH RADIANT HEAT - NOTE: Always make certain the product selected is recommended for this type application. System must be operational and heated for at least 7 days prior to beginning the installation. - Use an incremental control strategy that brings the floor through temperature changes gradually which may include an external thermostat. - Turn off heat and let subfloor cool down to room temperature 3-4 hours prior to starting the job. - BEFORE installation begins, ascertain that the heating system is designed and controlled for wood flooring and that the circuit does not include other floor covering types. Failure to do so may cause excessive heat damage and shrinkage. - NOTE: Refer to radiant heat system manufacturer’s precautions for staple down installation. Beware of stapling through radiant tubing or mesh. - After installation, turn the heating system back on immediately. The finished floor surface must not exceed 85°F (29˚C) throughout the life of the floor. - Radiant heating systems normally create dry heat that can lower interior humidity levels. It may be necessary to add humidity with humidifiers to maintain the recommended levels (30-50%) and prevent damage to the wood floor. - The flooring should be end-glued over radiant heat to reduce longitudinal shrinkage. Apply a bead of the recommended wood glue to the groove end then insert the tongue. Wipe excess adhesive away immediately.
