Existing oak laminate flooring over concrete radiant heat floor is 20 yrs old and cupped and split. Styrofoam insulation under new siding. R-20 insulation blown in over existing R-20? in attic and boiler turned down to about 120F. Any ideas/opinions on a new floor?
Is this an engineered hardwood floor or a Pergo type laminate. The terms are often misapplied. Also if it is cupped, exactly when did this start? I would assume your radiant heating is old (twenty or more years old) with copper pipes in the concrete? Perhaps a leak test is in order before you decide on new flooring.
