Which floors are better with under floor heating?

AudreyKey · 2022-05-01 07:08:42

The house is a new built with water to air heat pump, heated floors and no radiators on the ground floor. I am being told that both laminate and tiles can be fitted. Which floors are better with under floor heating? will laminated floors be a good option? Thanks!

We have electric underfloor heating with various floor coverings.
Tiles are best.
Laminate is almost as good - must use appropriate underlay.
Timber (engineered) is next best - also appropriate underlay.
We have carpets in several rooms. It's ok but not great. See carpet manufacturers recommendations.
