Quick-Step floors can all be paired with low-temperature underfloor heating. Depending on the floor you choose, there are two possible options:
All Quick-Step floors are compatible with underfloor cooling as well. The cooling elements work in the same way as the heating elements, except with cold instead of warm water.
To enjoy the benefits of underfloor heating, you need a floor with low thermal resistance, which allows the heat to pass through. The higher the thermal resistance, the longer it will take your floor to warm up and the less efficient your underfloor heating will be.
Additionally, it is important to place an insulating layer below your underfloor heating. This way, heat is reflected away from the insulative layer and is conducted through the floor.
Quick-Step Vinyl floors have the lowest thermal resistance of all Quick-Step floors and are excellent thermal conductors, making them perfectly suited for underfloor heating. However, our Laminate and Timber floor ranges also offer suitable and cost-effective options.
When installing a floor in combination with underfloor heating or cooling, it is important to follow the specific guidelines for each floortype.
All Quick-Step laminate floors can be used in combination with ‘low temperature’ underfloor heating.
Vinyl is an excellent thermal conductor, and therefore particularly suitable for installation over ‘low temperature’ underfloor heating. There is something for everyone in our Livyn luxury vinyl collections.
Our timber flooring — with the exception of ReadyFlor Blackbutt and Spotted Gum in 1, 2 and 3 strip — is also compatible with underfloor heating. There are two ways to lay it: floors can either be glued down or laid ‘floating’. The choice is yours!
