will it work with electric radaint Heating installation with laminating floor on top?

It's about 1/8 inch thick foam. As for the heat transfer I can not answer that question. I would assume it prob would do the job fine(I installed my own laminate) I would prob ask the manufacturer.

I believe that this would depend on the laminate used. if the laminate is a floating floor system ( as opposed to an adhesive installation ) then having the radiant heating system would be more successful. This is related to the expansion and contraction that different flooring materials exhibit. the other factor that occurs to me is the ability to have a level mounting surface. if the laminate is a thin system, the radiant coils would cause an uneven surface that would be problematic. I would look into adding a thin float of flooring levelling products, this would acheive a flat surface and also spread the heat more evenly through the floor.

Yes it should. You will need to relocate your HVAC controls if you do not currently have Navigation though.

I believe it would. But much more attention would be needed to insure that extreme temperature is not used and that the floor sensor is working properly to prevent "hot spots".

I have laminate. According to the manufacturer it is safe to use the lower heat on wood floors but apparently it can cause them to look dull after time.

I would have to say yes provided it does not get into the mechanical operation of the unit or near the heating element

You could MAKE it work but it is intended to be used for an underfloor heat mat with a temperature probe, so you would need to do some heavy modification to it. In other words, as intended, no it will not.

I PRESUME this would be ok, as the heat is driven by a fan, so no "fire" heat comes in contact with the top. That being said, we have never tested this theory, since the unit is used in our basement.

Yes. Heating wire must be fully embedded into thinset/self-leveling cement, so that the heating cable is covered with a minimum of 1/8" cement thickness on top. Once dry, you can proceed with chosen floor installation. Self-leveling is recommended for all types of flooring and especially for projects involving the installation of engineered wood, laminate, floating floors, vinyl, linoleum and carpet. Thin-set (acrylic or latex modified) mortar method is best used for tile, stone and similar floor covering materials.

not sure, i use this heater for a floor heater and it works great, with the application that you are talking about, you may not have enough flow with a heater this big.

I don't think so....if I were you I would get the one that is for laminate and not take any chances of ruining your floor.

I don't recommend putting the grid on top of the floor. It is designed to radiate through cement and so probably gets fairly hot.

yes but the gas pressure will have to be set for the elevation. Have it professionally installed and you should not have a problem. I have used my for 2+ heating seasons and I am still impressed by the efficiency. Great unit, very economical. I would definitely recommend tid unit.

Not sure since I don't have laminate. But wirjs great in tile, therefore would assume it would work great on laminate.

Yes, as long as your heating/cooling system supports this. (i.e. You need the appropriate wiring in the wall.)

Yes, it will. Low e coatings reflect heat back in the direction it comes from (it is not an insulator, but a reflector).

It could be used under a "Floating" wood floor system but it would need to be Pro installing it. It would not be all that efficient either, but it would make the floor warm and comfortable.
