Rug suitable for underfloor heating

Choosing the right carpet for underfloor heating

Below are some tips for choosing the right carpet for underfloor heating:

Choose a thin carpet:A thin carpet conducts heat better than a thick carpet. So choose a thin carpet with a pile that is not too long.

Choose a material that conducts heat well:Conductive materials such as wool fibers, natural rubber and polypropylene go well with underfloor heating. Avoid materials that insulate heat, such as thick felt rugs.

Check the heat resistance of the carpet:Make sure that the carpet is marked as suitable for underfloor heating and can withstand its heat. This means that the carpet will not shrink or change shape due to heat.

The strength of the underfloor heating has a big impact on the things mentioned above. The hotter you keep the underfloor heating, the more stress the carpet has to endure. At normal room temperature, the carpets in the selection work very well and let the heat "through" the room air. In summary, a carpet suitable for underfloor heating is thin, heat-conducting and heat-resistant. Choose easy-care materials and make sure that the carpet is marked as suitable for underfloor heating. Avoid rubber or plastic-based mats that are not suitable for underfloor heating, as they can damage the underfloor heating system. Note, however, that many rubber and plastic-based carpets are still suitable for underfloor heating.
