We recently moved into a newly refurbished property that has engineered oak wood flooring throughout the ground floor, along with wet underfloor heating in the kitchen area.
Within the kitchen, the flooring has some discoloration / staining, which, when we first moved in we assumed was from a window being left open when it was raining (as it was mostly directly under a skylight). Over the past week or so though, having been running the UFH, it seems as though the discoloration has gotten worse / spread to some other areas.
Could the staining be due to the UFH or something else? I checked the website from where the flooring was purchased and it says it's safe to be used with underfloor heating systems, so I'm not sure what exactly is causing the problem. No staining in the living room area (radiators are there), which is why I suspect it's an issue with the UFH. We've set the thermostat at 21 degrees over the past week in the evenings, and off otherwise. The room doesn't seem to get colder than 20 degrees or so according to Nest (well insulated, I guess..)
Attached are pictures - I'd be grateful for any advice that you can share on why this might be happening and how we can fix it / stop it getting worse (if that's possible!).
