Underfloor heating installed beneath a wooden floor should operate within specific parameters. Generally, the floor temperature should not exceed 26 degrees Celsius. In other cases, the floor is at risk of serious damage.
To objectively address the issue of potential overheating, readings from thermal seals are taken.
A thermal seal is designed to permanently capture the maximum temperature reached by the tested surface. Once the temperature limit is exceeded, the measuring point is irreversibly altered. Properly installed seals can serve as evidence of the floor with underfloor heating reaching excessively high temperatures, which in turn can cause detachment, cracking, or delamination of the wooden floor.
Prior to installing the seal, it is advisable to take a photograph of it in the presence of witnesses to prove its unaltered condition at the time of installation. We recommend installing seals on each heating circuit.
Additionally, it is worth remembering that the only viable underfloor heating system is a water-based system.
