Question:

Install laminate or engineered floors over radiant heated concrete floors, what one is best?

We have ceramic floors that are ugly and cracked on a radiant heated concrete floor, we was going to put laminate over but after reading reviews it looks like we need to take ceramic tiles out then lay the laminate or engineered flooring.. Which flooring is better for radiant heat?

Answer:

If the tiles are still well secured and just stress cracks, you can go over them with a laminate. Note... I said still well adhered. Same is true with a floating engineered wood floor. But if the tiles are loose at all, they need to come up , the thin set scraped down and the slab smooth . Then you can do a glue direct engineered wood or a floating floor with laminate or engineered. Both will radiate the heat about the same. Any questions you can e mail me through my avatar. GL
