Hey,
I’m interested in your experiences with flooring. Maybe you could share a picture as well?
What types of flooring and colors have you chosen for the different living areas?
How many different types of flooring do you have?
Has anyone had experience with resin-bound stone floors or similar and can share their thoughts?
Have a nice Sunday.

At least for the entrance hall, corridor, cloakroom, or guest bathroom.

We have engineered hardwood flooring (240x19mm (9.5x0.75 inches)) costing 50.33 EUR including tax.
Our long-pile carpet is priced at 55 EUR including tax.
Except for the bathrooms, the tiles are standard gray, 60x60cm (24x24 inches), costing 25 EUR including tax. In the bathrooms, the tiles are more expensive, all around 50 EUR.

We glued and sealed cork. The walking experience is very pleasant. I also find it great in the children's rooms—warm, soft, and yet smooth (an ideal play surface for all kinds of activities). In the bathrooms and utility room, we have tiles.
The alternative for me would be hardwood flooring or carpet, the latter especially in the bedroom.Do you happen to have a photo of it?
I find it hard to imagine how cork looks in practice.
Are the seams visible? Is cork installed in the living room as well?

Any concerns about plasticizers in vinyl?That’s also my main concern, especially with underfloor heating. Can you really rely solely on the Blue Angel certification for that?
In my opinion, modern cork flooring or designer cork flooring looks just like vinyl flooring. The only difference is that cork flooring is a natural product, while vinyl has plastic underneath. At least, that’s how I have noticed it with friends.

boxandroof5 Jan 2020 20:07Cork is generally not very suitable for underfloor heating. You can also install underfloor heating in the walls if needed, but I would only consider that effort for truly high-quality hardwood flooring.
There are huge differences in texture and durability with vinyl that are not reflected in the price. There are large discounts available online, and you can order samples.
I also have vinyl flooring and am satisfied with it, but I would only install vinyl with the Blue Angel certification. Glued-down vinyl is definitely better, especially on the ground floor. Gluable vinyl with Blue Angel certification has only been available for about a year (from Meister and, I believe, also from Wineo).
Most luxury vinyl tiles or planks are click-lock and have their respective backing layers. Classen’s products have the best suitability for underfloor heating among click-lock vinyl options.
It’s worth checking the technical datasheets for thermal conductivity and abrasion class.

Fully tiled apartments or houses always give me that "vacation rental vibe"... as long as they are durable. When the heating is on, it feels nicely warm, but otherwise the advantage of good heat conduction turns into a drawback, and I find tiles quite cold underfoot. For me, having the entire house tiled was never an option... even though the plumber would have preferred it.
If you are someone who wears house slippers regularly, you might not mind. But for children playing on the floor, it can definitely be uncomfortable.
With the cork parquet, the underlay (impact sound insulation) and the layer beneath the decorative cork surface are both made of cork. The total thickness in my case is about 4mm (0.16 inches). It also works well with underfloor heating, I can say that from personal experience.
