For our second floor living room & dining room, we love the idea of wide plank hardwood floors set in a herringbone pattern. The problem is that we would like to employ radiant heating underneath and are concern about both the dimensional stability of the wood pattern and not damaging the radiant heating system during the installation. For a more contemporary look, we were thinking a large format of 5” x 40” stained quarter sawn white oak planks (avoiding exotic woods and plain sawn woods) and Warmboard radiant subfloors. Can anyone recommend other wood possibilities and/or radiant heating options?
Thanks
