I am doing a barn conversion on a barn attached to my house and would like to use an engineered floor over underfloor heating, but feel that oak wouldn't look right (too posh!). Does anyone know of any producers that make an engineered floor with a pine upper laminate?

Bayard, there are many grades in Oak: from Prime (posh?) to Nature (more sap-wood and tiny knots), Rustic (large knots, more colour variations) and even Extra Rustic - County (larger and open knots, not recommended for underfloor heating).
Haven't really seen manufacturers creating pine wood-engineered boards, too expansive compared with solid pine boards.

Wouldn't a solid wood pine floor warp if laid over underfloor heating? Perhaps reclaimed timber would be dry enough not to warp or shrink. I could reuse the existing pine floor, but much of it looks too wormeaten to lift and relay.
Anyway, you've got me thinking I could do part of the floor in oak (the part of the barn that was a house a few hundred years ago) and the rest in reclaimed pine, unless you think that even reclaimed would not be suitable.
Thanks
