Installing Thermalboard over Carpet
Thermalboard is both a highly efficient radiant heat delivery system, resulting in lower system operating costs and it is also a fast responding system, heating up and cooling down rapidly for easy system control and comfort.
How to Install Carpet over Thermalboard
Thermalboard™ shall be installed over a wooden subfloor in compliance with General Thermalboard Installation Requirements For All Flooring Over Wood Subfloor.
In addition, the following specific cautions and instructions shall be followed: Carpet and pad may both be installed over Thermalboard™. When installing the pad, take care to avoid puncturing the tubing. We advise adding thin underlayment plywood over Thermalboard™ prior to carpet and pad installation to protect the tubing from point loads.
As with all radiant heating installations, a thin slab foam rubber pad and short, high density carpet should be used. If the carpet pad is glued, a high temperature latex adhesive must be applied.
INSTALLATION NOTICE
Apply glue to the subfloor. Do not glue Thermalboard™ directly to the tubing! Maintain 2” minimum tubing clearance from carpet tack strips.
