Underfloor heating... can it be used with laminate floors?

Can under floor heating systems (such as the devi mat) be used with laminate floor boards too?

I've seen some really nice tile-effect laminate flooring in B & Q that I much prefer to normal tiles, but I want the floor to be warm to walk on.

I have radiators as well so this would not be the primary source of heat - just a comfort thing!

Has anyone else tried this before? :confused:

Thanks

    Thanks for the link to screwfix. I think that confirms that so form of adhesive (or bed/filler) would be needed to lay the under floor heating on, then pretty much anything can be laid on it later!

    Thanks!!
