Benefits of wood

Wood is alive, durable and has a warm appearance and offers an aesthetic and comfortable living environment in every home. It is a natural product that is biodegradable and can be reused (circular). You can use wooden floors over underfloor heating , provided the floors and underfloor heating are carefully installed and maintained. The warm wood provides a unique natural feeling under your feet and increases the atmosphere and appearance of your home.

Preparation for Installation

Before the new floor with underfloor heating can be installed, it is essential to remove the old floor and thoroughly prepare the subfloor. Depending on your preferences and the possibilities of your home, you can choose between a dry construction or wet construction system of underfloor heating. Dry systems are often easier to install in existing homes, while < strong>wet systemsare especially recommended for new construction.

Types of underfloor heating systems

There are different types underfloor heating systems you can choose from. Milled systems are applied directly into the subfloor, while electrical systems are often used for smaller spaces or as additional heating. A dry system is relatively easy to install, while a wet system often offers higher thermal conductivity.

Insulation and Efficiency

Floor insulation plays a crucial role in underfloor heating . It ensures that the heat rises and is conducted upwards through your wooden floor and is therefore not lost to the rooms below. Good insulation increases the efficiency of your heating system and ensures even heat distribution.

Radiators emit local heat, which means there is no even heat distribution. This is a major advantage of underfloor heating . In addition, when using underfloor heating as main heating, you can remove the old radiators, which gives more space and peace in a home.

Starting up Underfloor heating

Once the underfloor heating has been installed, it is important to start it up gradually and according to a specific heating protocol, so that the screed can 'settle' and residual moisture can evaporate. This prevents damage to the wooden floor due to rapid temperature changes. The heating protocol for the underfloor heating must be carried out before the new floor is installed and takes 10 to 14 days. Each underfloor heating system has its own heating protocol.

Installing the Wooden Floor

At Uipkes we understand that choosing the right wood specie and floor type is essential. Not all wood species are suitable for use with underfloor heating. We recommend choosing wood species with low heat resistance and a stable structure. Especially oak floors are popular for a combination with underfloor heating, because of the good price/quality ratio and the properties of oak. Other suitable wood species include: merbau, afzelia and bamboo.

Maintenance and Use

A wooden floor with underfloor heating requires specific maintenance. Vacuuming and regular cleaning with special floor soap (Royl) and avoiding sharp temperature fluctuations help keep your floor in top condition. In addition, it is important to regulate the humidity in the home, as wood is a natural product that responds to changes in humidity.
