ᐅ Parquet flooring over underfloor heating: which type of wood is recommended?

I just have a quick question. Which wood flooring is best suited for underfloor heating, and which definitely isn’t? Can you say that—are there differences?
The reason I’m asking is that I lived in a terraced house with underfloor heating and a beech wood floor. After 1 1/2 years, the floor has already shifted significantly, and dark gaps are appearing everywhere. That doesn’t seem normal, does it?
Now we are moving into our new house, and during the interior planning stage, the question arises about which flooring to choose. I would have liked an antique parquet floor "link removed", but now I’m wondering if this type of flooring is really suitable to be installed over underfloor heating. After all, we don’t want to have to replace the floor again after just a few years.
I would really appreciate any feedback!
Best regards

I hardly think that wenge (very dark) – because of its price – will find many fans here among potential home builders. That may be true, but it was already mentioned above—like most of the other examples I gave—and it is listed among wood types with favorable properties, which is why I brought it up. I don’t know wenge personally and will most likely choose something noticeably lighter myself.
