Often considered as an item of some luxury, underfloor heating is a great investment for the home. However, many will wonder, is it possible to have under floor heating and solid wood flooring?
Fortunately the answer is yes, but you will need to ensure that you take a number of special precautions when installing the heating system.
For example, installation of the system should be left to professionals; although it might be the desire of many - especially in a climate of financial austerity - to carry out the task themselves, the services of a professional should always be sought.
Remember one nail in the wrong place and you could have a flooring disaster on your hands - leaving your floor completely destroyed and your heating system with a serious puncture.
It should also be taken into account that the humidity - rather than the heat - is going to affect the flooring - accelerating the contraction and expansion process that can take place over time; because of this you will need to take a much greater level of care when installing the floor.
