ᐅ Wooden floorboards with underfloor heating?

Hello,

I am currently considering installing underfloor heating (not a heater) in the living room as part of a renovation. Can I then lay wooden floorboards on top?

Regards

Markus

Yes, ideally glued.

Thank you very much for the quick response.

Yes, that is possible – it does reduce efficiency somewhat to attach insulation directly over the heating system. However, I would still recommend doing it if the floor type and heating method are an absolute requirement. Alternatively, during a renovation, you could consider options such as a wall heating system with clay plaster.

We do not want underfloor heating, only some form of warming. The radiators will remain in the room.

What surface temperature are you aiming for?

In modern new builds heated with underfloor heating, the floor surface is only lukewarm even in the coldest winter. This is enough to keep the whole house warm.
