Radiant Floor Heating Under Shaw hardwood (Wood Flooring)
Shaw hardwood was designed to be seen, not avoided every winter morning. Radiant floor heating underneath keeps it that way year round.
Skip the rugs and slipper routine. Shaw hardwood paired with radiant floor heating stays warm on its own, no workarounds needed.
For about $10 a sq ft, we install floor heating directly under Shaw hardwood, so the warmth comes from the floor itself instead of a rug or heater.
Shaw hardwood holds up well in high-traffic rooms like kitchens and bathrooms, and pairing it with radiant heat is what keeps those same rooms comfortable underfoot.
This combination works just as well for renters who want comfort now as it does for homeowners planning to stay for years.
Day to day, it's as simple as adjusting a thermostat; Shaw hardwood and the heating system underneath handle the rest.
