We recommend the use of adjustable high limit slab sensor control from your thermostat to avoid unintended high temperature water reaching the floor. Thin flooring products like Vinyl are sensitive to higher temperatures on the floor surface that can result in stripping or deformation.
We are not scientists, chemists, or toxicologists who are able to fully examine issues of outgassing from vinyl flooring products. Outgassing from Vinyl FloorsĪt Ecowarm we’ve made major efforts to design, engineer, and manufacture an environmentally responsible product. Additionally, many of the limitations in the warranties are extremely hard to comply with. For environmental and green conscious customers, the petrochemical basis and potential for significant outgassing of toxic volatiles are a real concern.ĭue to the recent introduction of numerous vinyl flooring products, most of them have little history of use over radiant floor heat. Vinyl flooring products are predominantly made from recycled petroleum-based plastics. Vinyl flooring is more environmentally sensitive than many other flooring products in that it has a high rate of expansion and contraction with changes in temperature, as well as being sensitive to changes in humidity. Use Extreme Caution: Environmental Issues with Vinyl Flooring
Our purpose is to provide a general understanding of the issues you should consider before installing vinyl flooring over Ecowarm or other methods of installing radiant floor heat. Vinyl flooring is a rapidly proliferating category of flooring products with characteristics, installation requirements, and warranties that require careful evaluation and understanding before installing over Ecowarm or other radiant floor heating products.
