CONSULTING » PARQUET » UNDERFLOOR HEATING
solid wood parquet Tropical wood flooring works very well on modern hot water underfloor heating systems, provided the installation height, installation method, and material are compatible. Here you will find the most important rules and guidelines – with a focus on sustainable tropical woods such as Teak.
Thin & glued: Slim planks and glued installation are ideal for good heat transfer. Practical: 3-layer 14–15 mm or solid ~14 mm, depending on product approval.
Thermal resistance: Keep the entire system as low as possible (typically approved up to approx. 0,10–0,15 m²K/W – always follow the manufacturer’s instructions).
Operation: Surface temperature moderate (usually max. ~27 ° C), Turn the heating up and down slowly. Do not install thick insulation or soft underlays under parquet flooring on underfloor heating.
Installation height: plank thickness + adhesive/underlay. A low overall thickness improves efficiency and response time.
Why teak? It's dimensionally stable, has low shrinkage, and naturally contains oil—making it robust in changing temperatures.
Solid teak (~14 mm): Preferred fully gluedAdhesive: elastic (e.g., silane-based), low-emission. Avoid underlays.
Teak 3-layer (14–15 mm): Click or tongue/groove, also best on underfloor heating glued (Floating only with approved, very thin underlay). A wear layer of 3–4 mm is common.
Details: Include edge joints/expansion joints, avoid carpets with high thermal resistance, and use furniture glides. Always observe product and heated screed approvals.
Substrate: Level, load-bearing, and clean. Check residual moisture/heated screed according to manufacturer and standard specifications (CM measurement, etc.).
Heating/cooling protocol: Start up the heating properly before installation; adjust it slowly after installation.
Acclimatization: Before installation, allow the parquet to acclimatize to a room temperature of 40–60% RH, ~20–22°C.
Control & sensors: Limit floor temperature, consider inertia; do not pad carpets that generate excessive heat in specific areas.
Care: Use suitable oil/varnish systems; avoid standing water, especially in kitchens and bathrooms.
