A common alternative to solid wooden floors engineered wood is manufactured to give the look and feel of natural wood and is perfect to use with underfloor heating.
Whilst both hardwood flooring and engineered wood flooring can be used with an underfloor heating system the differences in their density and moisture content values can lead to different heating requirements.

Hardwood natural solid wood is typically more expensive than an engineered option and offers different options in density and moisture content which can influence the chosen floor.
Using timber with ufh if the desired look includes a wood floor engineered timber is the best option for use with underfloor heating as its structural stability allows it to.

Underfloor heating is ideal for engineered wood floors.
Engineered floors with glueless locking joints such as those in our raglan and salcombe ranges can be floated over underfloor heating in most cases.
Most good quality laminate floors can be used with underfloor heating but it is best that you check with the manufacturer first.
You will also need to use a specific underlay designed to help with heat transfer.

Today wood floors and underfloor heating are often combined and work well together.
Differences between timber and engineered wood flooring.
Make sure you choose an underlay that s suitable for ufh and will provide effective thermal transfer.
The majority of wooden flooring is suitable for underfloor heating systems but at nu heat we recommend using engineered timber flooring rather than solid hardwood.
