A Note on Floor Coverings
Ceramic tile is the most common and effective floor covering for radiant floor heating, because it conducts heat well. Other commonly used floor coverings like vinyl, linoleum, carpeting, or wood can also be used, but any covering that insulates the floor from the room will decrease the efficiency of the system. Carpeting can be used, but a dense padding and as think of a carpet as possible is recommended in order for your system to operate at optimum efficiency.
