Different wood flooring options for radiant heat

pumpkinhouse
10 years ago

We want to do in floor radiant heat under, hopefully, a wood floor. One flooring guy today said the only option for that is engineered wood. The options I had been considering was reclaimed wood, or a new solid wood, possibly oiled. Is he correct, that the only option is engineered?
