Under-floor heating is a cost-effective and generally comfortable heating system, which is becoming increasingly popular. However not all types of flooring possess the qualities necessary to benefit fully from this.

Wood in itself has natural innate warmth, and thanks to the controlled and consistent moisture content of our boards, this makes it the preferred choice for underfloor heating, as - unlike most tiles and stone - it is warm and comfortable with or without the system being on.

Thanks to the Junckers Clip System, a floating floor can be installed over the majority of modern underfloor heating systems, such as electric or piped hot water systems fitted within a screeded subfloor, which give an even heat distribution. We can even accommodate underfloor heating systems contained with battens or joists.

As with almost all natural materials, wood is affected by seasonal changes in climate. Wood expands when humidity is high and contracts slightly in a drier atmosphere when fine natural gaps can appear between the floorboards. However, the Junckers Ship's Decking system, where neoprene strips absorb the movements in the floor avoids this.
