Hello everyone,

I am planning to install carpet flooring in the bedroom. This way, it won’t feel as cold underfoot, and I can walk around barefoot more comfortably. We have underfloor heating, and my question is:

Does carpet act as an insulator or does it allow the heat to pass through?

Thank you very much for your answers.

Hello,

There have been good developments, and almost every carpet is now suitable for underfloor heating. Manufacturers have made significant progress, and I have also found a good carpet. I also think that a carpet works particularly well in the bedroom.

There are high-quality carpets that can also be used with underfloor heating. We have this as well, and it is especially comfortable now that the temperatures are dropping.

Of course, a carpet can be installed over underfloor heating. That’s not a problem, and we have that as well. No one wants cold floors anymore. Nowadays, there are carpets specifically made for use with underfloor heating.

I don’t think it’s necessary to cover the entire bedroom floor with carpet. In our bedroom, we use small runners and bedside rugs, which are completely sufficient and also feel warm underfoot. We also wear slippers at home, so the only important area is where you step out of bed.
