We're looking to put an engineered wood floor over UFH and are getting a little confused with the sales patter. We've been told:
1. "Never glue down an engineered floor over UFH to the sub floor- float it, gluing only the T&G". (our room crosses both concrete and a suspended floor - it's a new open-plan extension.)
2. "Oiled finish will mark much more easily and need more maintenance than lacquered".
3. "Engineered flooring using multi-layered beech ply as the base is not suitable for UFH".
4. "watch out for lots of rubbish on the market, a decent floor will cost north of £50m2 + (our spec. is long lenghts, wide planks, oiled, prime grade)".
Any views on the above?
