By choosing underfloor heating, you can always enjoy nice warm feet and you won't have large radiators hanging on the wall. Only advantages! But how do you prevent a rug from blocking the heat from your underfloor heating? And which rugs are suitable for underfloor heating?
Heat and insulating capacity
One of the main advantages of a carpet is that it provides warmth and comfort in your interior. Rugs work as insulators and retain warm air. Carpets that are unsuitable for underfloor heating retain heat for too long, preventing warm air from spreading well in the room.
It is important to choose a rug that allows the heat from the underfloor heating to pass through well. A heat-permeable carpet and underfloor heating complement each other and give you warm feet and comfort during the cold winter months.
Heat permeability
So what determines whether a rug is suitable for underfloor heating or not? That is the heat permeability resistance. This number indicates how much heat the carpet allows to pass through and is expressed in m² k / W.
If this number is below the threshold of 0.17 m² k / W, the rug allows heat to pass through well. The lower this number, the better the rug will allow heat to pass through in your space.
