Fyfer, has the temperature sensor sorted the fault? I have exactly the same problem!

Can anyone suggest a suitable underlay for an engineered wood floor? I want to use the Tongue-Tite system or secret nails and there must be a damp proof membrane (even though I've recently concreted etc. the sub floor crawl space to try and eliminate humidity). Problem is nails etc. puncture...
