Windsor · Berkshire
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 Windsor 76% of homes are houses, most of them detached houses (31%), so the questions are the subfloor and the underlay rather than impact sound.
Underfloor Heating in Windsor
The Windsor and Maidenhead district counts 60,934 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.
Detached houses are 31% of the homes in Windsor and Maidenhead, and a detached house in Windsor is the one most likely to have underfloor heating through the whole ground floor, on a screed. That is a long floating run or a large glue-down, and the thermal resistance of floor plus underlay is kept under the 0.15 m²K/W the systems are designed around, which rules out thick underlays.
Owner-occupation is 67% in Windsor and Maidenhead, and an owner installing underfloor heating in Windsor 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
Windsor and Maidenhead in the 2021 census: 60,934 households, 75% houses, 24% flats.
Roughly three in ten Windsor homes are detached, a quarter semi-detached and one in five a purpose-built flat. What the figures do not show is the river. Datchet, Horton and Wraysbury sit low against the Thames, and that changes the first question asked about a ground floor there.
Windsor combines Royal town heritage with some of the most premium property in Berkshire, from Georgian and Victorian townhouses near the Castle to substantial detached properties in Ascot and Sunningdale, riverside homes in Datchet and Wraysbury, and Eton’s distinctive housing stock. The town’s combination of Royal connections, top schools and Thames-side setting drives consistently premium values.
On that low ground the moisture in a solid floor moves with the water table rather than with the weather. A reading taken in August can differ from one taken in February, so the build-up is chosen for the wetter of the two months.

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.
Yes. We deliver across Windsor and Berkshire from our UK warehouse, including the SL3 and SL4 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 Windsor 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.
