Hello,

we are currently facing the decision for the flooring in our new building and have a question regarding click vinyl in connection with underfloor heating. I would like to hear your opinions and recommendations on this. Is the click vinyl flooring suitable for underfloor heating? If not, which alternative floorings do you recommend?

Thank you in advance

Bringing in experts is a bit exaggerated here. Basically, almost all floors are suitable for underfloor heating. Some let the heat pass through better (tiles), others less so (thick floating parquet). Click vinyl is somewhere in the middle. Vinyl itself allows heat to pass through well, but the integrated carrier board is less helpful. In the end, though, it doesn't matter. At first, we were also on the trip to choose the floor based on its supposed suitability for underfloor heating. Luckily, we didn't do that.

No, that's not true, you can do a lot wrong. There are impact sound insulations that alone have a thermal resistance of 0.1 W/m²K. Then the inclined layman adds 14mm click parquet on top, quickly reaching 0.25 W/m²K and far exceeding what is recommended as the maximum for underfloor heating.

Even with click vinyl, it can go wrong; the impact sound insulation is massively underestimated.

There are impact sound insulations with 0.01 W/m²K. It just costs a bit more.

That is a very general question. I assume there are some click vinyl floors that can be easily combined with underfloor heating. I believe this question has come up here several times before. Try the search function, you should definitely find something there.

Vinyl is good at heat conduction, the click parquet cannot be that thick for it not to work. Decisive is the impact sound insulation, because that is often completely forgotten in the calculation or the cheapest that can be gotten is taken.
