Electric Radiant Floor Heating Systems Under Hardwood

Thermofloor is a 4 in 1 heating insulating noise reducing moisture abating radiant floor heating underlayment specifically designed for laminate glue down and floating hardwood and engineered wood floors.

Electric radiant floor heating systems under hardwood. Electric floor heating systems for hardwood floors have been developed by heatizon systems since 1979. Species both in solid and engineered flooring options certain species are known for their inherent dimensional stability such as mesquite black cherry black walnut and others. Radiant heat is a system using electric coils or tubes of hot water underneath the flooring. When wood is selected as a finished floor covering material may questions and concerns arise about its compatibility with an underfloor heating system.

Radiant heating under softwood and hardwood floors. Its foil wrapped heating wires offer unparralled thermal conductivity into the wooden flooring allowing rapid heat up times and efficient and consistent heat distribution. The types of wood flooring best suited for under floor radiant heat systems should be accounted for to ensure long term performance. The foil heater system is an electric heating mat that offers quick installation beneath wood flooring and other floating floor types.

It is necessary to acclimatize the wood to the interior of the house prior to installation and ensure that it is sufficiently dry. Our staple down nail through technology with zmesh is unmatched in the industry. Unlike most other systems this laminate radiant floor heating system installs without having to be imbedded in cement. Installing electric radiant heat under nailed hardwood can seem like a daunting task but if you know the right way to install it there s nothing to fear.

Zmesh is the optimal heating element to use when considering heating underneath a nail down hardwood floor because there is no worry about piercing the heating element and having to repair it. Traditionally it has been used for tile floors but now it is also used with wood flooring.
