Suitability

Vinyl floors work very well with underfloor heating. Heat can easily permeate the relatively thin layer. However, as most vinyls should not be heated to above 26°C, the floor heating power output needs to be restricted (in normal living rooms to around 65W/m²).

This means that these vinyls should not be used in high heat loss areas such as conservatories. Alternatively, some vinyls are available that can tolerate higher floor temperatures.
