Top tips for using underfloor heating with bamboo flooring?
- Make sure you prepare the room first – Once your underfloor heating has been installed you need to ensure that your subfloor is level, dry and clean before you start to install your bamboo.
- If you have opted for an underfloor heating system in screed, then it should be installed and running for at least seven days. You will then need to moisture test your subfloor to check whether you can start to install the bamboo flooring.
- It is important that you turn off your underfloor heating system before you install your bamboo flooring.
- Your new bamboo floor needs to be heated evenly. This means that the whole room or area will need to have underfloor heating to allow the bamboo to expand and contract at the same rate across the day, weeks and months
- Once your bamboo is installed you should not allow the surface temperature of the floor to exceed 26ºC.
- It is extremely important that you always read the installation instructions and seek advice from a professional if you are unsure about anything.
