Carlisle floors no problem over radiant heat

If you are thinking about a new or re-do flooring project, but have some concerns about installing wood over radiant heat, just take on this mantra: “No worries.”

Carlisle has a wealth of experience — and endorsements — in the application of its wide plank flooring over radiant heat systems in homes.

One such endorsement comes from Shawn Sweeney of Sweeney Design Build in Shelburne, Vermont:

“I recommend Carlisle Wide Plank Floors to all my clients because of the stability of their wood over such a wide range of installation conditions and temperatures. Especially for radiant applications, it is far superior to any other wood floor — wide or narrow— on the market.”

Another endorsement comes from Warmboard Radiant Subfloor one of the more popular manufacturers of radiant heat.

Lots of homeowners like the efficiency and cleanliness of radiant heat, but may wonder how that distribution of heat directly under a floor might affect the floor over time.

Here are some things to remember:
·Wood breaths and moves, so once you’ve chosen the correct, properly cured Carlisle application for your home, it will constantly adapt to its ever-changing environment, yet will remain flat and stable;
·The quality of our boards makes a big difference: Ours are cut from heartwood for a strong, straight vertical grain and they have low moisture content– another reason why heartwood is more stable;
·We have a lot of experience — more than 40 years — of installing wood floors over radiant heat in all types of environments from one coast to the other;
·And we’ll guarantee the work: If at any time during the life of your Carlisle floor there is a problem relating to the quality of our wood or our manufacturing process, we will handcraft a new floor for you free of charge.
