Sutton Coldfield · 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 Sutton Coldfield 75% of homes are houses, most of them semi-detached houses (36%), so the questions are the subfloor and the underlay rather than impact sound.
Underfloor Heating in Sutton Coldfield
The Birmingham district counts 423,455 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 36% of the Birmingham stock, and the semi's extension is where Sutton Coldfield'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.
Terraced houses are 28% of the homes in Birmingham, and underfloor heating in a terrace usually arrives with the kitchen extension: a new screed at the back, radiators at the front. The floor over the heated screed is chosen from the compatible ranges, engineered oak, laminate or rigid vinyl, and the floor at the front can be the same board, floated over the timber, so the two rooms read as one.
Social renting is 24% of households in Birmingham, and underfloor heating appears in that stock in the newer blocks; the specification over it is a rigid-vinyl or laminate floor listed as compatible, with an underlay rated for heating. A tenant needs the landlord's written consent before a hard floor goes in, and the commissioning record of the system is what the floor's listing is checked against.

Local fact sheet
Birmingham in the 2021 census: 423,455 households, 75% houses, 25% flats.
Two towns answer to this name: around Four Oaks, Mere Green and Little Aston the houses are large and old, while on the Erdington and Kingstanding edge in B23 and B44 the streets are tighter and the rooms smaller. Work out which of the two your own address belongs to before taking advice from this page.
The census figures for Sutton Coldfield are Birmingham’s, so the semi-detached, terraced and purpose-built flat mix they show describes the city rather than Sutton itself. Across B72–B76 there are larger inter-war and Victorian houses around Four Oaks and Little Aston, mostly on suspended timber ground floors.
The void under a Four Oaks or Streetly reception room is ventilated from the outside walls, so the centre of a floor that deep sits furthest from moving air. Clear the airbricks before anything is laid; a blocked one tells in the middle of the room.

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.
Samples come to a Sutton address on request, and here you want several. A piece that convinces in the hand reads differently at the far end of a reception room in one of the older houses. Judge it on the floor, in that room's own light.
Yes. We deliver across Sutton Coldfield and West Midlands from our UK warehouse, including the B23, B44, B72, B73, B74 and B75 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 Sutton Coldfield 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.
