I’m just about to put in a new floor in my breakfast room which I was thinking of doing with engineered wooden flooring with electrical underfloor heating.

However the electrican came round last week and told my wife it’s not a good idea and the wood warps.

Has anyone good or bad experiences? Or any tips so the floor is not ruined. Need to know because we were about to choose the floor this coming weekend. Thanks

I don’t know, but I know a man who does…..

I know someone who had this combination in a new-build flat. He told me that the underfloor heating was really good at warming up the floor – but nothing else.

We did this happily – in fact we were told that engineered wood is often more stable than solid wood….

I also fitted engineered oak flooring on top of our underfloor heating in a new build, it is now 3 years old with no problems at all.

go for it

somone shine a picture of some huge boobs over bristol and get him in here. The thread is lacking 😉

Doesn’t deadly do flooring?

Edit: Shining a torch on my chest…..not quite the same thing 😆

Evening.

May I ask the OP how he’s planning to fit the floor over the UFH?

It worked !!!

😆

your tits are obviously more momentus than you had thought emsz

Ding dong emsz. 😛

*plans wonderbra purchase*

😆

Actually, it was the bright pair of 40DDs in the clouds over Bristol 🙂

😥

Where can i get that crying girl picture that Elf uses LOL

I’ve told you before I like the boyish look emsz. You might also. Just not on boys. 🙂

Isn’t the Engineered timber constructed as follows
Plywood with an 5mm to 10mm solid wooden veneer
Plus you have the acoustic underfloor mating underneath that

Think you’ll be ok
If it was solid wood you may, may be in trouble and I would take a moisture
reading of the timber before going ahead.
But with the Engineered floor would be more stable

Didn’t the Romans solve this conundrum a few years ago?
By using stone floors?
🙂

Thanks, Love the breast comments though not sure how that fits in the thread.

Basically electrican is saying there will be all sort of problems. hmmm

OP, the breast comments? Long story.

How are you planning to lay/fit the floor?
