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 Wolverhampton 79% of homes are houses, most of them semi-detached houses (46%), so the questions are the subfloor and the underlay rather than impact sound.
Underfloor Heating in Wolverhampton
The Wolverhampton district counts 105,141 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 46% of the Wolverhampton stock, and the semi's extension is where Wolverhampton'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.
Social renting is 25% of households in Wolverhampton, 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
Wolverhampton in the 2021 census: 105,141 households, 79% houses, 21% flats.
Nearly half of Wolverhampton lives in a semi-detached house, and a quarter of households rent from a social landlord. Much of that stock went up between the wars and just after, at Bushbury, Low Hill, East Park and Ettingshall, and it was built with a solid ground floor rather than a timber one.
Wolverhampton combines Victorian and Edwardian terraces reflecting its industrial heritage with substantial family homes in Tettenhall, Penn and Wightwick, plus modern apartment developments around the city centre regeneration and family estates at Bilbrook and Codsall. The city’s regeneration, growing university and Black Country economy drive consistent renovation demand.
Solid floors of the interwar period were often laid straight onto hardcore with nothing between the ground and the concrete. The moisture that rises through is slow, steady and invisible until a floor goes over it, so establishing which kind you have comes first.

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.
In an interwar semi at Bushbury, Low Hill or East Park, test the slab before choosing anything. Where there is no membrane, a moisture-tolerant surface or a liquid membrane applied first matters more than the finish on top; where the floor has been relaid, the usual rules return.
Yes. We deliver across Wolverhampton and West Midlands from our UK warehouse, including the WV1, WV2, WV3, WV4, WV6 and WV10 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 Wolverhampton 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.
