Our solution
We delivered a straightforward, high-quality installation using premium materials and a collaborative approach to finishing, ensuring the floor worked with the heating system and suited the client’s aesthetic preferences.
Why 22mm solid herringbone over underfloor heating?
Thicker solid wood retains heat longer than thinner or engineered alternatives. By bonding the 22mm parquet directly to the pump screed, we created full contact between the floor and the heating system, maximising warmth underfoot and improving energy efficiency.
