An R‑value denotes thermal resistance: higher R‑values indicate greater resistance to heat flow. For carpet and underfloor heating, the combined thermal resistance of carpet and underlay influences how efficiently heat is delivered into the room — thicker or denser floor coverings tend to increase resistance and may affect system output. Actual performance depends on carpet fibre and construction, underlay type and the specific underfloor heating system. Confirm compatibility and the combined R‑value with the heating system supplier and the carpet manufacturer or discuss options with BCC at Unit 3/46 Bay Rd, Taren Point NSW or by calling 02 9526 6421.
