What types of flooring are recommended for radiant heat?

We have to replace flooring damaged by a tenant to our home, we were going to Install laminate, but would also like to install radiant heat. What are our best options?

We have had good vinyl tile on a radiant heated bathroom floor for 45 years.
I would certainly ask a laminate manufacturer to guarantee it. ??? Ceramic tile or stone would not be affected. The radiant product should certainly have recommendations.
we have had tile on ours, built home 24 years ago. Keep your grout lighter as black will lose it's color
We have electric radiant under porcelain tile. It's on the second level so it is not on a concrete slab. We were told that the electric radiant wasn't effective on a slab because the slab would absorb tbe heat before it could pass thru any flooring. You will have to do your homework at the flooring center to find flooring that specifically says it can be used over radiant heat. There are laminates that keep their warranty when installed over radiant heat.
