We are currently in the process of buying a house. It is 20 years old (Hanlo timber frame construction) and naturally shows some signs of wear. My wife is a big fan of underfloor heating and definitely wants to have it again, especially in the living room. During the viewing, the previous owner (unfortunately not very knowledgeable about building technology) mentioned that there is an electric underfloor heating system installed beneath the tiles in the living room, which are partly cracked.
Now, we want to remove these tiles because they feel cold and are not particularly attractive, and instead install laminate flooring. I already know that the laminate cannot be installed as a floating floor but must be glued down due to the thermal bridge. Is any standard laminate suitable for this purpose? What type of adhesive should we use, and what else should we consider?

Why install impact sound insulation if there is only the foundation underneath? Because otherwise it sounds terrible when walking on the laminate flooring. It clatters a lot 🙁
