Is this flooring suitable for underfloor heating?

What tools do I need for installation?

You will need a measuring tape, saw, tapping block, and underlayment (if not pre-attached to the planks).

Troubleshooting

Flooring is uneven after installation.

Check the subfloor for any imperfections. Ensure it's level. If necessary, use a self-leveling compound before re-installing the flooring.

Flooring is lifting at the edges.

Check for moisture issues. Make sure there is an expansion gap around the perimeter of the room and around fixed objects. Ensure the flooring is not installed too tightly.

Scratches appear on the surface.

Use felt pads on furniture legs. Clean up spills quickly. Consider using a laminate floor cleaner.
