Parquet laying on a warm floor

Staying gender with heated, a serious problem arises. We all want to walk on a real wooden parquet, but it is not considered the best floor covering for heated floors. What to do? What materials and types of glue to order? View, which parquet board is better to choose?

Let’s say right away that the gaps on the parquet boards of beech, maple and some other varieties are formed over time. Parquet elements react acutely to temperature fluctuations, they play all over their width. Installers say this that the parquet works. It is better to give up medium -working materials for parquet, we are talking about Olch and Yasen. For the heated floor, wood with a weak deformation coefficient and positive properties in the field of water resistance is suitable. Iroko and Burmese tick are suitable for these characteristics.

The type of parquet board or parquet elements is also important. Both a set of flooring (consisting of small planks) and industrial ones can be laid on heated floors. It should be understood that it makes no sense to buy a parquet with a thickness of above one and a half centimeters. Fat parquet will reduce heat transfer, in addition, with improper humidity, gaps in the parquet will appear.

The situation is more difficult with laying coatings consisting of multilayer elements, for example, from a three -layer board. The thickness of the upper layer is no more than six millimeters, made from the strips of beech, ash, maple, oak, red tree. The last layer is made of pine or spruce. The length of such parquet boards usually does not exceed two and a half meters, and the width rarely fluctuates more than 21 centimeters, the thickness does not exceed 24 millimeters. Each layer is laid perpendicularly, the tree works much less, thereby it is nullified by the possibility of cracks in the parquet. In the immediate vicinity of the elements of the floor heating, it is the three -layer board that is installed.
