What types of carpet can be installed over radiant heating? I prefer a berber but I know that it has a low flash point. Is this safe to use?

RE: carpet over radiant heat
I don’t believe there are any restrictions as to what type of carpet you can use. You do want to use an R-value padding though which will allow for proper heat transfer through the floor.
