Flooring in new build

[Mark M]

Hi

 

Im looking for advice on new flooring I have a new build with the underfloor heating with a heat pump.

At first was going to tile everywhere because I thought with ufh you had to use tiles but in the meantime I have moved more towards wooden flooring in kitchen and living area, open plan it is.

So I would like to use timber flooring here I was thinking about engineered oak glued to the floor maybe.

Would anyone have experience with this type of flooring with ufh heating if it works well or does there be any issues with the floor moving warping etc.

 

Thank you, Mark

New build equals low flow temperature. You can use what ever floor you want.

 

We have ceramic tiles in wetrooms, oak floor in lounge, hall and office all bonded to the floor. Carpet in bedrooms - carpet kills performance at low flow temperature.

Not sure I would do wood in a kitchen, one spill and it could be time to get a new floor!

 

We are 5 years since the wooden floor was laid, with no issues.

We've carpet, towels, LVT and 14mm laminate. All works well. Apart from the but under the 1" thick wool rug 🤣

That's great thank very much for your reply, rather than split the floor wood and tiles I was thinking of going with wood through the open plan area kitchen and TV area, I wonder is there wooden flooring you can get that wouldn't stain easily like you say

All the smarter Pubs and restaurants seem to have wood flooring and seem to stand the spills they get.

I guess it depends  if you want the immaculate look, or rustic used look?
