Radiant Floor Heating Under Paramount hardwood (Wood Flooring)
Homeowners choose Paramount hardwood for how it looks, then ask us how to keep it from feeling cold. Radiant floor heating installed underneath is the answer.
Paramount hardwood shows up in a lot of "why didn't we do this sooner" remodel stories once homeowners feel what it's like with radiant heat underneath instead of bare and cold.
Installation runs about $10 a sq ft under Paramount hardwood, and unlike a space heater, it warms the whole floor evenly instead of just one corner of the room.
Basements, bathrooms, and kitchens tend to run coldest in a house, which is exactly where Paramount hardwood paired with radiant heat makes the most noticeable difference.
Renters and anyone who'd rather skip the cold-feet routine tend to like this pairing best.
Once the Paramount hardwood and heating system are both down, keeping the room comfortable is just a matter of setting the thermostat and leaving it there.
Frequently Asked Questions — Paramount hardwood (Wood)
How well does Paramount hardwood work with radiant floor heating?
Like most wood-look flooring, Paramount hardwood should warm up gradually rather than sharply, which is why we recommend a moderate, steady surface temperature.
Will Paramount hardwood feel warmer with a heated floor system?
Compared to tile or stone, Paramount hardwood already feels warmer, and radiant heat underneath keeps that comfort consistent through the coldest mornings.
Do I need a special thermostat for Paramount 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 Paramount hardwood floor.
