Your underfloor heating should be keeping your tootsies toasty, however if you think a rug could brighten up your room or protect your flooring, be careful when selecting the rug for the job. Many underfloor heating systems have a maximum temperature threshold, and by adding a rug you’re essentially making the system work harder which can cause this to overheat and even lead to damaging your flooring. It’s best to avoid thick pile rugs because of this. The thinner the rug, the better! It’s also best to stay away from synthetic materials and instead opt for wool, jute or bamboo as they let heat pass through more easily. The best advice we can give though, check with the underfloor heating manufacturer before making a choice. It’s always better to be safe than sorry!
