Hello Forum,

I’m curious to see how the "flooring preferences" are distributed here in our forum. You have the option to select up to 4 types of flooring.
It would also be great if you could briefly mention the rooms and the type of flooring in your post.

For example:
Kitchen = tiles
Bathroom = tiles
Living room = hardwood
Children’s room = laminate

Hallway on ground floor, utility room, guest toilet, and bathroom: tiles.
All other rooms: cork (glued down and sealed).

This is exactly how we have it at the moment and will probably do the same in the new house.

We had laminate flooring before, and in my opinion, cork feels "warmer" and is also less noisy.

Unfortunately, I can’t recall the manufacturer anymore, it was some time ago.

If yes, which cork parquet (manufacturer) can you recommend?

We chose 4 mm (5/32 inch) thick pre-sealed panels from the manufacturer "KWG." I might be able to say whether they are recommendable after a few years. Another supplier would be Wicanders, although I am more familiar with their ready-to-install planks.

4mm (0.16 inches) is very thin, though.

Our glued vinyl is also only 4 mm (0.16 inches) thick.
I once had pre-finished cork parquet in a rental apartment, which was quite decent. It felt nice and warm but, in my opinion, was also very delicate... (As soon as something sharp falls on it, you immediately get a few cork crumbs, although that usually goes unnoticed.)

Do you actually have genuine "bulletin board" cork, or is your design different?

Tiles are hardly any thicker (if at all, I don’t have any on hand right now). In combination with underfloor heating, the covering should not be too thick. Anyway, 4 mm (0.16 inches) is completely sufficient.

Do you have real "pinboard" cork, or a different design?

We will probably get cork that looks more natural. Just have a look, for example, under kwg-Kork.de/floors/cork/paco/ ... there is practically everything (although in some versions cork only forms the core layer and the surface design is achieved through a coating).

You can’t really generalize like that. Our tiles are between 9 and 11 millimeters (0.35 and 0.43 inches) thick.
