Can you lay wood flooring over underfloor heating?

Yes. Engineered timber and most laminates are fine, and the thinner the board the faster you feel the heat.

The short answer

You want to put underfloor heating down. Is that limiting your options of what floor you can put down? The answer is no.

You can most definitely put underfloor heating underneath engineered timber and some laminates.

People also ask me about the thickness of the flooring. The thinner the product that you put down, the more you are going to feel that heat come through. But the thicker the product, the longer that heat is going to stay in there for.
