About 7 years ago I put a radiant under wood floor (t&g oak) heating system, parts purchased from Radiantech in Vermont. It uses 7/8 partially crosslinked poly, and aluminum hand bent fins. It has performed wonderfully over the years, a true delight, all run off a water heater. (tube in tube heat exchanger) and the oak floors....not a problem at all. No shrinkage. The floor never feels warm, unless you put a rug on it, and then place your hand under it. So I suspect that the floor temp never exceeds about 76 degrees. I'm sold on the idea, and would not hesitate to put hardwood floors, especially making sure that the boards are in the 12-14% dry condition. |
