Radiant Floor Heating Under Mohawk hardwood (Wood Flooring)
Homeowners choose Mohawk hardwood for how it looks, then ask us how to keep it from feeling cold. Radiant floor heating installed underneath is the answer.
A beautiful Wood floor that's too cold to walk on barefoot doesn't get enjoyed as much as it should. Heating it from below fixes that.
At roughly $10 a sq ft, adding radiant heat under Mohawk hardwood costs less than most homeowners expect, and it heats the whole floor rather than just the air around one heater.
Basements, bathrooms, and kitchens tend to run coldest in a house, which is exactly where Mohawk hardwood paired with radiant heat makes the most noticeable difference.
It's an especially good match for renters and anyone who doesn't want to deal with cold floors every morning.
Once it's installed, upkeep is minimal — a thermostat is all it takes to keep Mohawk hardwood comfortable through every season.
Frequently Asked Questions — Mohawk hardwood (Wood)
How well does Mohawk hardwood work with radiant floor heating?
Like most wood-look flooring, Mohawk hardwood should warm up gradually rather than sharply, which is why we recommend a moderate, steady surface temperature.
Will Mohawk hardwood feel warmer with a heated floor system?
Compared to tile or stone, Mohawk hardwood already feels warmer, and radiant heat underneath keeps that comfort consistent through the coldest mornings.
Do I need a special thermostat for Mohawk hardwood?
No — our heated floor systems work with a standard floor-sensing thermostat, so you can set and maintain a comfortable, consistent temperature under your Mohawk hardwood floor.
Can I install Mohawk hardwood over the heating system myself?
Many homeowners install the electric heating mat or loose wire themselves, then bring in a flooring professional to lay the Mohawk hardwood on top. Only the final thermostat connection needs a licensed electrician.
