Dudley · West Midlands
A floor over underfloor heating has to let heat through and stay flat while it does; 107 of the 122 floors in the range with the attribute are listed as compatible, and the ones that are not are the solid oak boards. In Dudley 85% of homes are houses, most of them semi-detached houses (48%), so the questions are the subfloor and the underlay rather than impact sound.
Underfloor Heating in Dudley
The Dudley district counts 137,069 households in the 2021 census, and the mix of houses and flats in that count is what decides how a underfloor heating floor is specified here.
Semi-detached houses are 48% of the Dudley stock, and the semi's extension is where Dudley's underfloor heating is, more often than not, under a kitchen-diner on a new screed. An engineered board or a rigid-vinyl floor is listed for it; the screed dries at roughly a day per millimetre for the first 50 mm, and the system is run through its commissioning cycle before either goes down.
Owner-occupation is 67% in Dudley, and an owner installing underfloor heating in Dudley is usually doing it once, with a screed, and wants oak over it. The engineered range is listed for it, every board; the solid range is not. The wear layer of 3 mm or more still allows a sanding cycle later.

Local fact sheet
Dudley in the 2021 census: 137,069 households, 85% houses, 15% flats.
A semi-detached house is home to nearly half of Dudley, from the streets below the castle out to the Gornal ridge, Pensnett and the Brierley Hill edge. A semi has a wall in common with someone, and a hard floor changes what travels through it.
Dudley is a Black Country town steeped in industrial heritage, home to the celebrated Black Country Living Museum. Its housing stock is dominated by Victorian terraces and solid interwar semis, with newer estates around Kingswinford. Buyers here are firmly value-focused, seeking durable, great-looking flooring that offers honest quality at a fair price.
Footsteps on a hard surface put energy into the structure, and it carries sideways as well as down. The effect is worse where the floor is laid tight against the party wall: the expansion gap that keeps a floor flat also keeps its noise from bridging next door.
Delivery times and options depend on the delivery postcode. See Delivery & Returns for the applicable estimate.

The engineered oak, the parquet, the laminate, the rigid vinyl and the porcelain tiles are all listed as compatible. The solid oak boards are not. The commissioning cycle and the screed reading come before any of them.
Yes, engineered oak: every board in the range is listed for it. Trade guidance sets no blanket ban on wood over heating but ties it to the temperature limit, which the system's controls hold.
It is half of the thermal resistance. Floor and underlay together stay within 0.15 m²K/W; an underlay rated for heating is thin for that reason, and its tog value divided by ten gives the figure to add.
Durability is the surface layer rather than the total thickness, so ask how hard that layer is and how a scratch shows in the finish. In a semi, pair it with an underlay rated for impact sound and keep the floor clear of the party wall by the full gap.
Yes. We deliver across Dudley and West Midlands from our UK warehouse, including the DY1 and DY2 postcode districts. Delivery cost and timing depend on the delivery postcode and are shown at checkout, and samples come by post first so the floor can be seen in the room before the full order.
Yes: cut samples are £1.99 each, up to two per product, posted to your Dudley address. Two or three side by side on the floor, in the room's own light morning and evening, settle the colour faster than any photograph.
