Hello everyone,
The planning is slowly taking shape. It will probably be a Weberhaus (assuming the price fits). For the calculation, my advisor wants to have a rough idea of which flooring options are suitable for me.
We want to build with underfloor heating, which is quite important for the type of flooring. I am considering laminate, parquet, or vinyl. Since I have a sectional sofa with very narrow feet measuring 2 x 2 cm (about 0.8 x 0.8 inches), I need a floor that can withstand the couch and visitors without leaving pressure marks.
Parquet naturally fits well with a Weberhaus, a wooden house with real wood flooring. However, I have read that parquet is very maintenance-intensive and does not react well to water. Also, I am not sure if it would avoid pressure marks in my case.
Vinyl is a very interesting flooring option. It is said to be very easy to maintain, water-resistant like tiles, not too expensive, and it is supposed to feel pleasantly warm. However, it apparently has the downside of being a rebranding of the unpopular and carcinogenic material PVC. Is vinyl a health concern?
Laminate seems like a mix of both.
I am very interested in your opinions and recommendations.
Best regards,
laurooon

Hello,
Slowly, I’m beginning to think my general contractor was really quite reasonable with their additional charges… and I’ve had quite a few serious clashes with the site manager.
What exactly are they charging €2640 for? Surely not just for 2 cm (1 inch) of screed? Is your screed decorated with gold and installed by virgin priestesses during a full moon???
Do you want a fully recessed shower or a tiled shower? A “walk-in” shower tray usually still raises about 2 cm (1 inch) above the floor. But that’s the standard, right? Do the classic ones with a 20 cm (8 inch) high step even still exist?
Best regards,
Andreas

Just a question. I asked Weberhaus for the price of a walk-in shower on the upper floor. For this, the screed needs to be a bit thicker, I believe about 2cm (1 inch), so the shower tray can be fully recessed. The cost for this is €2640. Is that realistic? The upper floor is 74m² (800 ft²).

I also find this surcharge policy a bit strange. I wanted a larger bathtub. 1.75m (5 ft 9 in) is standard, but I wanted 1.80m (5 ft 11 in). It costs about 2000€ extra.
Unfortunately, this is the downside of prefabricated construction. The standard catalog houses are listed at 230,000€, but the house itself quickly reaches 300,000€, and then there are the additional costs on top of that.
