Hello forum,
We want to install a vinyl floor approximately 2.5 mm (0.1 inches) thick (Joka Designfloor 555 XXL) glued down in our new build with underfloor heating and a heat pump.
The product datasheet states (as with many similar vinyl floors) that the maximum flow temperature of the underfloor heating should not exceed 27°C (81°F). I find that quite cool. Will the floor still feel warm enough to walk on barefoot?
We like it quite warm (in winter, preferably around 23 to 23.5°C (73 to 74°F)). How high would the flow temperature of the heating need to be set for that, or is it even possible to achieve with a 27°C (81°F) flow temperature?
Alternatively, which other (vinyl) floor coverings would you recommend that can handle higher flow temperatures? There are still houses with older underfloor heating systems that run hotter than 27°C (81°F).
Thanks in advance for your collective expertise!

Yes, in a KFW55 house, when outdoor temperatures are low, the supply temperature can easily reach up to 31°C (88°F). However, between the heating loops, screed, and impact sound insulation, the heat dissipates well, so the floor surface definitely receives much less heat.
So, no need to worry!
