Is it possible to have electrical sockets sunk into floor with UFH? Does it effect how you lay engineered floorboards over the UFH? Feeling quite confused...
 
Yes. The wire should be laid under the insulation, and brought throurh the screed usung a conduit. The back box for the socket only needs to be shallow therfore only a little chasin out is needed. The most important thing is to make the sparky aware that there is underfloor heating---- very important---to avoid a water feature as well. Their will be no problem laying these boards over then
 
You will need to allow for some movement in the floor with the sockets.
