Q:Can this product be used over basement concrete slab that has radiant floor heating? Or will it stop the radiant heat from passing through?

1 Answer
Answer This Question
A: It is recommended to install radiant floor heating systems on top of the DRICORE® Subfloor panels for optimal performance. The insulating properties of DRICORE® Subfloor will slightly reduce the effectiveness of a radiant floor heating system that is installed underneath DRICORE® Subfloor panels.

Q:I’m installing this in a room with a pocket door. I want to install engineered wood on top of Dricore/plywood but am concerned that the transition step may separate if I leave it as a floating floor. Could I only attach plywood under the door not Dricore?
