Good evening everyone,
we want to install a vinyl floor in the bedrooms instead of tiles. This results in a height difference between the rooms with tiles (13mm) and the vinyl floor (4.8mm) of about 8mm.
Since we want to avoid using leveling rails and prefer to equalize the floor structure, we are now considering how to achieve the 8mm elevation. Underfloor heating is installed in all rooms. The screed is already in place; we did not want an elevation in order to be able to lay something else in the future.
As a first option, cork comes to mind, with which the 8mm can be bridged. In terms of thermal resistance, a value of under 0.15 m²K/W can just about be achieved.
Additionally, I thought of protective mats that could raise the floor. Are these suitable for underfloor heating? Regarding thermal resistance, these would even be better than cork and also more affordable. Would you recommend them as a floor elevation? Are there other alternatives with which the floor can be raised with underfloor heating? Thank you in advance.
