Sqeaky and not that great of transfer of heat, not like tile . If you are
willing to change the flooring you, it has to be a floating connection not a
nailed down connection. It is not unbearable, but it is a little creepy
sometimes! If this is a new construction why in the world would you go with
an under the floor board rather than above. Alot better heat transfer.

Hello,
I'm building a house and trying to descide on flooring. The heating system
on the 2 floors will the "in joist" floor heating. We really want to use
Hardwood floors. We have been told many different stories about using
Hardwood VS using Engineered Hardwood over the floors. What I've read is
that if you pick the right wood (Americian cherry) then you can do a
regular
Nail-down installation of the floor (being careful of the pipes of
course).

What i'm wondering is if any here has any advice on the subject. Does
anyone
have any experiences good or bad installing real hardwood over injoist
heating?

Thanks in advance,
Rob
