How to choose the right under timber floor heating kit

Timber, engineered and laminate floating floors need a lower-profile cable than a full tile buildup allows, and they carry a lower maximum surface temperature than tile or stone to avoid drying out or warping the boards over time. Always check your specific flooring product's heating compatibility and temperature limit with the manufacturer before ordering a kit.

Measure the floor area you want heated in square metres and choose the closest matching kit size. The cable is fixed to the subfloor before the floating floor is laid over the top, and a thermostat with a floor sensor is essential so the system stays within the flooring's safe temperature range. Installation should be carried out by a licensed electrician in coordination with your flooring installer.

Frequently asked questions

Is under timber floor heating safe for floating floors?
Yes, when a suitable low-profile cable is used and the flooring manufacturer's maximum surface temperature is respected. Always check your specific timber, engineered or laminate product's heating compatibility before installing.
What temperature limit applies to timber floor heating?
Timber and engineered floors generally have a lower maximum surface temperature than tile, often around 27-28°C, to avoid drying out or warping the boards. A thermostat with a floor sensor and a temperature limit set correctly is essential.
Do I need a floor sensor thermostat for timber floor heating?
Yes, a thermostat with a floor sensor is essential for timber floors so the system can be capped at a safe maximum surface temperature rather than relying on air temperature alone.
