Engineered hardwood flooring offers exceptional attributes for any room in your home. It's durable, long-lasting, and offers beautiful visual appeal.

But how does it work when installed over radiant heat? That's a topic we'll discuss in more detail for your consideration.

A few facts to get started


It's important to know that radiant heating is installed beneath your floor's surface. The heat passes up through the floor to heat the entire room.

Radiant heating systems can last about 35 years or more. This means you'll get significant savings over time compared to other systems, especially engineered wood floors.

What about radiant heating under hardwood


The most important thing to note is that these systems won't harm your hardwood. But there are other considerations to know when choosing this heat source.

It's essential to ensure you keep temperatures within safe operational limits. However, it's also important to know that heat can dry wood.

If temperatures are too dry, it can remove moisture from the wood. But the moisture returns once the temperatures go down.

Ask how your radiant heating will work with specific installation methods. Each engineered wood flooring installation reacts differently, and you'll want to ensure the best options for your need.
