Hello everyone, I have a question where your experience would be very helpful: How do you properly and permanently attach the Ikea Metod baseboards on a floor with integrated underfloor heating?
I understand that there are some important considerations with underfloor heating, such as thermal expansion and surface temperatures. I want to avoid the baseboards warping or affecting the heating function.
Specifically: How do you install the baseboards, which materials or adhesives do you use, and are there any special tips to ensure a secure and clean attachment? Also, any advice on preparing the substrate or dealing with thermal expansion would be great.
Thanks in advance for your tips!

Plan for movement joints, ideally leaving about 1-2 mm (0.04-0.08 inches) of spaceI can confirm that. In my case, it was the key to avoiding unsightly stress cracks. Better to allow a bit of space than to have strain.
