Does underfloor heating work with carpets? That is one of the most common questions plumbers and builders are asked (along with "which carpet is best for underfloor heating") and we are then asked, by people that want the luxury and efficiency of a warm water underfloor heating system.
The assumption is that because a carpet insulates, it will prevent an underfloor heating system from adequately heating a room, and while wood engineered floors are all the rage, lots of people still like the comfort under their feet that a carpet provides in a bedroom.
So then you end up with a system that has underfloor heating downstairs, and maybe on the first floor in the bathroom, and radiators in the bedrooms, taking up space, and making the whole heating system a lot more complicated.
"Can underfloor heating work with carpets?" The answer is simply, "yes", with a "but".
And that’s it - yes it works, yes people can have all the benefits of warm water underfloor heating in their carpeted rooms, for example bedrooms. And yes they can benefit from the luxury and efficiency it brings.
