Question:

can anyone recommend a brand of heating to use under engineered wood flooring?

we are installing bamboo flooring (engineered wood-click and lock) and would like areas to be heated over our concrete slab. anyone have any recommendations??? any experience with this?? thanks!

Answer:

We don't understand how you plan on doing this. Are you talking about heated cables, or hot water tubing? Wood floor would be flat on a concrete slab floor.
Sun Touch electric system is the only way I know to do this., w/o tearing out a lot of concrete and adding a boiler system. You ll have to lay the system you want out ( or more than one mat). They come in several different sizes. After they are rolled out into place you ll have to pour a self leveling compound over it all to make the whole area flat . Then after the compound dries for several days ( it dries to walk on in 6/12 hrs or so) you can lay the wood . Any questions you can e mail me through my avatar. I ve attended several installation seminars as well as installed several 100,000 s/f. GL
