Default Woodblock Flooring (Parquet) Over Undefloor heating

Hi,

I have just completed a large extension (approx 50m2) and installed
hot water underfloor heating. I have partially tiled it but my better
half now wants to install Parquet wood block flooring over the
remaining 30m2, to match the rest of the house.

I have my reservaitions about expansion and warping with the heat
variations and have heard of complications with moisture content etc.
I am keen to lay it but dont want to come home to find speed bumps in
my living room. I cant find any info on the internet about this, any
ideas? I know that engineered boards would be far more suitable but
I'm told that matching it up is a must!!!

Also, does anyone know of any good suppliers of new (not reclaimed)
hardwood block flooring? I have been dealing with www.woodenflooringsupplies.co.uk,
who's prices start at a v reasonable £15-20pm2 for european oak, but
their service is absolutely shocking. I've been trying to get samples
from them for weeks, completely incompetant.

Any advice greatly apreciated.
