ᐅ Underfloor Heating and Carpet Flooring

Hello,

we are considering installing carpet in the bedroom. It is simply more comfortable when barefoot. Does anyone have experience with the efficiency of underfloor heating in this case? Does the carpet act as an insulator, or does it allow the heat to pass through fully?

Regards, regnat

Hello Der Da,

Sorry, but I have to disagree!

Carpet traps dust, so it is indeed suitable for people with house dust or mite allergies.

“Borrowed” from daab: “For allergy sufferers, hard floors are only more favorable if they are cleaned wet very frequently – several times a week – because dust tends to become more airborne on hard floors than on low-pile carpets

PS: my daughter, among other things, has a house dust allergy

Hello!
Carpet traps dust... and then – does it just dissolve? Also, there are basically no dust allergies – the allergic reaction is caused by mite feces – and for them, such a carpet is a real paradise.
I could understand if carpet provided warmth instead of underfloor heating – but the idea of carpet heating makes no sense to me.
After seeing microscope images of a used carpet, my mind was made up for good on this topic!

Best regards,
Tom.
