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?
by|Mar 20, 2024
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.

    A:  "A: Hello Bubb, The subfloor panels may be anchored if needed. To anchor panels, we recommend flat head 1-3/4 x ¼” Concrete screws (IE Tapcon) and a 4-1/2 x 3/16” Drill bit to bore the holes. Hope this helps!" by Dricore support | Mar 8, 2024

      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?

The existing tile surface must also be free of materials that may trap, block or absorb moisture, or promote mold growth.
