Question 1

Can ZMesh be installed under hardwood floors?

jallen · Accepted Answer

Yes. ZMesh is well suited to hardwood floor heating. The 12-inch width is the standard recommendation for hardwood applications. Before installation, allow the hardwood to acclimate to the room’s humidity level for several weeks to minimize dimensional changes after heating begins. After laying and connecting ZMesh, test and then run the system for before nailing or stapling the hardwood to the subfloor — this allows the wood to adjust to its heated operating temperature. As with all radiant floor heating under hardwood, confirm with the flooring manufacturer that surface temperatures will not exceed 85°F.
