Timber Floor Heating Brisbane from Heatec

The range of timber flooring products varies considerably. The traditional timber floor construction uses a framed floor, over which solid timber flooring is nailed to the floor joists. An alternative method for using the same solid timber flooring over a concrete floor, is to fix battens to the concrete, (eg. 50 x 50mm) then nail the flooring to this. With either of these methods, cables can be run between the joists or battens.

An alternative, is to use thinner timber strip flooring or parquetry flooring (smaller blocks laid in a pattern), that can be adhered to a concrete floor that has in-concrete heating installed. Finally, there are a range of floating timber flooring products, that are not fixed to the floor, but each strip locks to the other through a tongue and groove shape. These products are generally much thinner and vary in quality from quite high grade, to some that have a very thin surface veneer. These timber floors can utilise the methods explained in "Under Tile Heating", with a bedding or skim coat to provide a flat surface, or "Concrete Floor Heating".
