Winter
mornings can be a killer so I invested in underfloor heating in the kitchen and
living areas about 10 years ago. Since it was time to replace my carpet I
visited Carpet Call and fell in love with the timber flooring on
display. I was shocked when I found out from Carpet Call that I
could install engineered timber flooring on top of my underfloor heating.
The
consultant at Carpet Call made an appointment to come and measure my
rooms and came up with the great idea of carpet in the bedrooms and engineered
timber flooring everywhere else. He checked the floors under the carpet (which
I bought from Carpet Call 10 years ago) and then measured every room and
triple checked against his plans.
When we
were checking the plans and measurements before I signed to say all good, the Carpet
Call guy talked to me about the work involved to install the engineered
timber floors on top of the underfloor heating system.
·
The maximum temperature could only ever reach 27C
on the surface
·
The Carpet Call installer would insist on a
moisture check to make sure the sub
floor did not exceed 60% humidity count
·
The installer from carpet Call would ask me
to turn the heating up to its maximum and then to its minimum to check
temperature flow
·
We may have to use glue on the upper and lower part
of each timber plank groove but the Carpet Call installer would assess
on the day of installation
The installation went smoothly and we now have
beautiful Kempas engineered timber flooring from Carpet Call throughout
our living area with the added treat of no cold floors in winter.
