Radiant Floor Heating Under Solid Hardwood (Wood Flooring)
You picked Solid Hardwood for the finished look, not to spend winter avoiding your own floor. That's what our radiant heating system underneath is for.
Solid 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.
Radiant heat goes in under Solid Hardwood for around $10 a sq ft, warming the entire floor evenly instead of leaving cold spots a space heater can't reach.
Solid 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.
It's also a solid choice if you're renting or just don't want the hassle of cold floors between now and whenever you move.
Once the Solid Hardwood and heating system are both down, keeping the room comfortable is just a matter of setting the thermostat and leaving it there.
