Is the Floorify vinyl floor suitable for use with underfloor heating?
A vinyl floor really comes into its own when combined with underfloor heating. Rigid vinyl floors from Floorify are extremely thin (4 - 4.5 mm) and have very low thermal resistance (R value). This makes them ideal for use in combination with underfloor heating. The Floorify performance underlay also has a very low thermal resistance and is the preferred underlay in combination with underfloor heating.
