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.

Click vinyl is not waterproof, but glued-down vinyl is. Vinyl is chosen not for its price, but for its durability and appearance. Ours was significantly more expensive than the 50€ (about $55) parquet mentioned here, and parquet was not available in white. 20€ (about $22) is the lowest price range, with limited designs and formats to choose from—just as 50€ (about $55) seems very low for parquet. In the showrooms where we sampled materials, laminate started at 25€ (about $28), vinyl at 40€ (about $44), and parquet at 60€ (about $66).

At the specialty store where we went and where we will buy, the selection of vinyl planks priced between 15€ and 30€ per square meter (around $15 to $30 per sq ft) was overwhelming. Almost too much. I prefer four samples to choose from; one will be the final choice. My wife sees it differently. By the way, today was the sanitary sampling. It seemed made for me: two standard options, three with an extra charge. Done. We went with Duravit D Code, Karsten

Vinyl with HDF backing --> Thickness 9.6mm (3/8 inch)
Solid vinyl --> Thickness 5mm (3/16 inch)Has anyone noticed a difference in the range of options offered between these two types? Is there an equally wide selection for solid vinyl and vinyl with HDF backing?
I’m still hesitant about specifying a floor buildup of only 5mm (3/16 inch). If I take into account the 10mm (3/8 inch) screed, I could potentially install tiles or laminate flooring in the future instead of vinyl. With just 5mm (3/16 inch), the options are quite limited.
