The answer is YES! Many of our modern or renovated homes are equipped with underfloor heating. It is a pleasant and environmental-friendly way to warm up your home. Underfloor heating is a common used heating system. But is it compatible with all possible flooring systems, especially with flooring on vinyl rolls?
The thing is: all Beauflor vinyl floorcoverings are extremely suitable for use over underfloor heating systems. The only requirement is that the heating system has been installed properly. The underlying floor must be level and smooth for the installation of vinyl flooring, easy as that.
You need to make sure that the heating system has an automatic cut-off to ensure that the temperature never exceeds 27°C. This applies to all heating systems actually, both heated water systems and electrical systems. Because, when the heating system is in contact with the floorcovering and it exceeds 32°C, there is a danger of discoloration.
In order to install your vinyl floor properly on an underfloor heating system, there are a few things to take into consideration:
On the opposite, our vinyl flooring can also be installed over underfloor cooling systems; however, the temperature of the cooling water supply must never be below 18°C. Temperatures below this will produce condensation and could damage the floor covering. Similarly, room thermostats must never be set to a temperature which is more than 5°C below the room temperature.
Laying our vinyl floors is child’s play because they are designed and manufactured to make your life easier. Supple, and available in a variety of widths (from 2 up to 5 meters), you can cut them with a simple utility knife. This practical characteristic is very much appreciated when you easily and quickly want to change the design and the look & feel of your home. You can glue or loose-lay our floors as you choose, your floor will always end up looking awesome.
All Beauflor vinyl floorcoverings are suitable for use over underfloor heating systems, providing the heating system has been installed properly. So if you follow the guidelines above, you can easily install your brand new vinyl floor on top of your underfloor heating, for a warm and cosy touch in your home. Because, what is nicer than being able to walk barefoot at home on a floor that is cosy, soft and warm to the touch?
