Can an Oak Chevron Floor Really Be Used on Underfloor heating ?

There is still a misconception that an oak chevron floor is not suitable for underfloor heating . This only applies to solid wooden floors and not to engineered wood flooring. With engineered wooden floors only the top layer is made of solid wood. The underlay consists of cross-glued waterproof birch plywood.

This material hardly responds to fluctuations in temperature and/or moisture content. As a result, the shrinking and expanding of the top layer is also very limited. So limited that it is possible to install the floor tightly against the wall without skirting boards.

Which types of wood are suitable for Underfloor heating ?

As far as the wood species that are suitable for underfloor heating are concerned, there is actually only one right choice: oak. Oak not only combines well with underfloor heating , but it is also a strong wood specie that can easily be finished in various floor colors , making it suitable for almost any interior style.

What is the Best Thickness for Underfloor heating ?

The thickness of the floorboards affects the thermal resistance. The thicker the chevron floor, the higher the heat resistance. The thermal resistance is expressed in an Rc value. A low Rc value means low thermal resistance and better heat output from the underfloor heating .

It is therefore recommended to choose engineered wooden floorboards with a top layer of a maximum of 4 millimeters thick with an Rc value of 0.088 KW per m2. This thickness ensures good heat transmission, so you don't have to burn unnecessarily hard.

Does a chevron floor affect the efficiency of underfloor heating ?

A properly installed chevron wooden floor generally has no negative impact on the efficiency of the underfloor heating .
