The Challenge
The project presented several challenges, notably the integration of the flooring with the existing wet underfloor heating systems. To ensure optimal performance and longevity, it was crucial to choose materials and methods that would accommodate the heating system while maintaining the aesthetic appeal and structural integrity of the flooring. Preparation and Installation Process Subfloor Preparation: The first step involved screeding the subfloor to achieve a perfectly level surface using a self-levelling compound. This critical step ensured a smooth and stable base for the subsequent layers. Moisture Protection: Given the presence of underfloor heating, it was essential to apply a robust moisture barrier. Hoff Parquet utilized the Sika damp proof membrane to protect the flooring from any potential moisture issues, ensuring durability and stability. Adhesive Application: For this project, the glue-down method was chosen, utilizing flexible wood flooring adhesives specifically designed for underfloor heating installations. This method not only ensures strong adhesion but also allows for the natural expansion and contraction of the wood with temperature changes. Flooring Selection: Hoff Parquet supplied engineered oak wide planks finished in the captivating "ANTIQUE BRONZE" colour. These planks, known for their durability and eco-friendliness, feature a natural grade with minimal knots and low colour variation, providing a uniform and clean look. Installation: The wide widths and long lengths of the planks facilitated a seamless and visually appealing installation. Constructed with a birch waterproofed plywood base and a premium oak top layer, these engineered planks are among the best options for use with underfloor heating systems due to their exceptional durability and stability. The Result The final result was nothing short of spectacular. The rich "ANTIQUE BRONZE" finish added a touch of timeless elegance to the apartments, perfectly complementing the upscale interiors. The natural grade oak, with its subtle variations and minimal knots, provided a sophisticated and clean aesthetic. The integration with the underfloor heating system was flawless, ensuring not only visual appeal but also comfort and practicality. |
