In winter, to maintain a comfortable temperature in the gym, many people opt for warm sports wood flooring. However, when purchasing, it's crucial to understand how to properly install and use floor heating systems to avoid common mistakes.
**Misconception 1: Any flooring can be used for underfloor heating**
Many consumers ask, “Can this type of flooring be installed on a geothermal system?†Some sellers confidently say, “Absolutely no problem—this is a special floor for geothermal heating.†They may even show customer examples or test reports to reassure buyers.
However, for a quality basketball court or sports facility, the flooring must meet several key criteria: good thermal conductivity, dimensional stability, environmental safety, and long-term durability. The domestic flooring industry is currently working on setting standards to quantify these factors, as well as establishing quality inspection guidelines and warranty periods for geothermal flooring installation and maintenance.
**Misconception 2: The term “geothermal flooring†means it’s the best option**
In the market, you’ll find various names like “heat-resistant floor,†“floor heating,†“heat-emitting floor,†or even “anti-heat floor.†These terms are often misleading.
While some floors are marketed as “geothermal-friendly,†not all of them are suitable. The correct definition of “geothermal flooring†is a wood floor that can be installed on a geothermal system and radiates heat through its surface. It’s important to verify the specifications rather than rely solely on marketing language.
**Misconception 3: Thicker is always better for insulation**
The thickness of the wood floor affects comfort underfoot, which is why many buyers prefer at least 12mm when purchasing solid wood, multi-layer, or bamboo flooring. This preference often extends to geothermal flooring as well.
But wood is a poor conductor of heat. If the floor is too thick, it can hinder heat transfer from the system to the surface, causing energy loss. Additionally, excessive thickness can lead to uneven temperature distribution across the floor, increasing the risk of warping due to thermal expansion and contraction.
When choosing flooring for geothermal systems, it’s essential to balance comfort, heat efficiency, and structural integrity. Always consult with professionals and review product specifications before making a purchase.
