I know, the best wood floor we can have over radiant is Engineered, but it is quite expensive too.... So far, for the little «i shop, engineered hard wood floor with low or no VOC are around 8$ sqft. So just for the second floor, it'S the price of my eventual wood boiler !.
Lot of my friends have put tamarcak larc floor in there house. It's making an awesome looking floor, the grain id really prominent, i like it, I.ve seen some that were stain too, it awesome. But none of my friends have radiant floor. And as it's not hard wood, I wouldn't put in in the living room or kitchen.
I am thinking of putting in in the 4 bedroom of the second floor. I have a lot of tamarack larch on my property. So when / if ever «i have time, I could easilly cut 50 tree and get my flooring out of it. I will go with staple under for radiant heat for my second floor !
What do you guys think ? Is soft wood floor can be suitable for radiant heat ?
I could go with narrow plank, 2 to 2.5 in, and even thinking of maybe getting it quarter sawn. I thnik I can get it cut & dry (under 15% humidity) for under 1$ per sqft. Then I would have to install it (Most likely myself) and either oil or varnish.
Any opinon on this ? More the house getting finish, the priority & the budget are changing, and it's not necesairlay a good thing...
but I've seen worst.....
