Both electric and hydronic heating systems can be utilized with engineered wood curved flooring. Due to potential moisture concerns of hydronic systems, it’s important that a few factors be considered to ensure the best outcome possible.

• Floor temperature: The maximum temperature for the subfloor surface is 30ºC (85ºF). In addition, the boiler temperature should never exceed 43ºC (110ºF).
• Subfloor specification: Both plywood and concrete are appropriate subfloors, as well as a combination of both.
• Heating tube installation: After tubes are placed and the self-leveling concrete has cured, the system should be tested prior to installing the hardwood.
• Climate controls: Complete periodic checks on the temperatures (listed above) and to ensure the humidity levels stay between 30% and 50% to avoid splitting or gaps in your hardwood.

Keep in mind that engineered wood floors act as an insulator, therefore for heated floors we produce a special thickness of 13,5 mm flooring, so the heat produced by the floor would have a more substantial effect on ambient air temperatures.

All of our floors are connected using the tongue and groove method. The factory recommendation is to install the floor glued down.

From the technical stand point, the curved hardwood floor does not differ much from any straight hardwood floor, the only exception being the shape. Together with the order, we provide you with the installation plan where all boards have been marked with a row and sequence number. The corresponding numbers are marked on the individual boards.

All the projects and the boards used are saved in our database which means that should the need occur we can easily replace a damaged board and deliver it to you.
