When designed, installed, and used correctly, the underfloor heating system does not damage parquet floors. In fact, it is a suitable and comfortable heating method for wooden floor coverings. However, some important points should be taken into consideration:
Type of Wood: The underfloor heating system should be used with high-quality and durable wooden parquet floors. High-quality and thermally conductive woods transfer heat more efficiently and provide better results. The wood used should also be resistant to high temperature changes and humidity fluctuations.
Wood Thickness: The thickness of the wooden parquet can affect heat transfer. Thinner woods can conduct heat more quickly, while thicker woods may release heat more slowly.
Temperature Control: The underfloor heating system should be appropriately controlled to prevent excessively high temperatures on the parquet surface. Wooden parquet floors should be set to surface temperatures between 28-32°C (82-90°F). Higher temperatures can cause damage to the wood.
Humidity Control: Along with the underfloor heating system, indoor humidity levels are also important. Wooden parquet floors perform better in environments with suitable humidity levels. Excessively dry or humid conditions can cause the wood to warp and damage.
Proper Installation: Both the underfloor heating system and wooden parquet floors should be professionally installed. Properly designed and assembled systems by expert teams can prevent damage to the parquet floors.
In summary, with the right material selection, appropriate temperature and humidity control, and professional installation, the underfloor heating system can ensure the safety of parquet floors and provide a comfortable heating solution. Seeking expert advice and using high-quality materials are essential for long-term performance and durability.
