Wood Floor / Heating

Going to remove the existing horrible carpets upstairs and put down wooden floors. In Bricorama I've seen Pine wood planks (Tounge and groove, 2cm in depth) on sale.

Questions: Can you put electric underfloor heating under pine planks or does the wood need to specially treated?

If we don't go with underfloor heating does anyone have experience of what thickness mats we should use to avoid the wood getting cold. We live in a wooden chalet in (74). Seen in Bricorama green under matting 5mm or 2.2mm in depth.

We took up the old floorboards of some of our rooms where the floor was too damaged by woodworm to restore, before putting the new ones down, insulated between all the joists with polystyrene about 3 inches deep wedged between them. You can tell which are the new floors!!! Much warmer!
