Are all types of parquet suitable for underfloor heating?

Applicable for

  • Parquet

As a general rule, the thermal resistance of a floor covering should not exceed ca. 0.15 m2K/W. All Lamett wooden flooring are in the ideal range, between 0.07 and 0.14 m2K/W.

We do not recommend using solid wood if you want to combine underfloor heating and a wooden floor. First of all, it is already inefficient. Your underfloor heating has to work much too hard to heat up solid parquet. There is also more risk of shrinking or warping. This is why we prefer to recommend a multilayer wooden floor. This type is more stable than solid wood. It will not shrink, expand or warp as much due to changes in temperature and humidity.

A multilayer wooden floor is made up of layers of wood which are placed perpendicular to each other. In some types, the lower layers are made from wood from conifers, and others contain boards like multiplex or fibreboard (HDF). The top layer is solid oak. This produces a very stable material, with the same attractive looks as authentic wooden planks.
