Vinyl

Vinyl flooring

Suitability
Vinyl floors work very well with underfloor heating. Heat can easily permeate the relatively thin layer. However, as most vinyls should not be heated to above 26°C, the floor heating power output needs to be restricted (in normal living rooms to around 65W/m²). This means that these vinyls should not be used in high heat loss areas such as conservatories. Alternatively, some vinyls are available that can tolerate higher floor temperatures.
