Asked by Julie Reimers, Stony Brook, NY We are considering radiant heat. Will manufactured bamboo flooring stand up to the challenge? Answer Bamboo can do just fine over radiant heat, but performance depends on: the quality of bamboo flooring, the installation method, and user maintenance. Engineered flooring is more stable than solid flooring A floating engineered bamboo floor is best suited to radiant heat.
Also, make sure you select a company that sources mature bamboo. Installation How the bamboo is installed is essential to its performance over the radiant subfloor. For example, it is important to have the material acclimatize in the structure prior to installation. When choosing an installer, look for members of the Radiant Panel Association, which provides helpful information in its Radiant Flooring Guide.
