ᐅ Choosing Vinyl Flooring for a New Build

Hello everyone,

Since we have now decided on a vinyl flooring, the next step is to choose which type.

Can anyone advise what kind of vinyl flooring is recommended for a new build with underfloor heating? I haven’t been able to find a clear answer.
(It will be installed in the hallway, kitchen, living room, and guest room.)

The options are all click systems:
Vinyl with HDF (high-density fiberboard) core → thickness 9.6mm (0.38 inches)
Vinyl full vinyl (solid vinyl) → thickness 5mm (0.2 inches)
Design vinyl with CERAMIN® core material → thickness 4.5mm (0.18 inches)

I need to decide as soon as possible since the screed will be poured soon and I have to fix the finished floor level.

Thanks for any help.

Solid vinyl, glued down. The advantage is its low installation height, which provides good heat conduction for underfloor heating, increased resistance to moisture especially in the kitchen area, and very easy maintenance.

I am currently facing the same decision: click or glue. The glued vinyl has a material thickness of only 2.5mm (1 inch). Is the 2.5mm (1 inch) thickness a disadvantage?

The floor must be completely level.

We are considering the Krono Xonic flooring, which will be installed as a floating floor. Adhesive might be an additional source of pollutants released into the air. It costs 30 EUR per square meter (approximately 2.79 square feet).

I recently installed something similar... I thought it was quite good... it’s especially very durable...
