Is solid wood multi layer flooring suitable for underfloor heating

Three factors should be considered when choosing a floor heating floor, first of all, the amount of deformation is small; Second, it should be conducive to heat conduction; Third, moisture-resistant and waterproof.

Under the same environmental conditions, the deformation of solid wood flooring is larger than that of laminate flooring, and the deformation of laminate flooring is greater than that of multi-layer solid wood flooring. The reason for the small deformation of multi-layer solid wood flooring is that its substrate is staggered horizontally and vertically between each layer, which restricts each other; There are also dense anti-deformation grooves on the back, which dissolve the stresses generated by the heating surface, so that it has minimal deformation.

The thermal conductivity of the floor is related to the thickness of the floor, the thickness of the geothermal floor is about the same as the thickness of the laminate flooring, however, the anti-deformation groove on the back of it is conducive to air circulation, reduces noise, and the thermal conductivity is better than that of laminate flooring.

In winter, when the interior is dry, it will generally become humidified, and the moisture and water resistance of the floor is equally important. The multi-layer solid wood floor is specially treated, and the sample is soaked in water for 3-5 days without obvious deformation; Even if a large amount of water runs on the ground after installation, and the arch is soaked, as long as the doors and windows are opened and the air circulation is maintained, it will soon be restored to its original state, which solves the customer's worries that the customer cannot recover after laying other floors when encountering water. In terms of moisture resistance and water resistance, multi-layer hardwood flooring is significantly superior to other categories of flooring.

From the above three factors, it can be seen that multi-layer solid wood flooring is the most suitable for floor heating flooring, I hope to help you!

Not all of them are suitable.

One of the problems with solid wood flooring is that it will expand and shrink in heat.

Therefore, there are expansion joints when generally installed.

If you install underfloor heating, the floor will be heated for a long time in winter.

To save operation and maintenance expenses, the floor heating floor must be "thin but not thick". You can choose three-layer solid wood, multi-layer solid wood, bamboo flooring and laminate flooring, with a board thickness of no more than 8 mm and a maximum of 10 mm; But three-layer solid wood can reach 15 mm; Solid wood flooring (e.g. Burmese teak) up to 18 mm with good performance; Plastic flooring is generally very thin, within 5 mm. Geothermal flooring has high requirements for the substrate, the temperature difference between day and night is very large in winter, and ordinary solid wood flooring will expand and shrink in heat, and the usual floor can not withstand tossing and turning, and is not suitable for geothermal heating.
