ᐅ Blue Angel vinyl flooring for underfloor heating, adhesive installation – any experiences?

Hello everyone,

I am curious if there are forum users here who have installed glue-down vinyl flooring with Blue Angel certification (meaning as low-emission and 100% free of harmful substances as possible), which is also better suited for underfloor heating. Could you share some of your experiences with us?

Based on my forum research and additional online searches, I have found the following suppliers offering vinyl/designer floors meeting these requirements (brand, warranty period, thermal resistance):
- WINEO PURLINE Bioboden 1000 wood, 30 years, 0.01 m²K/W
- MEISTER Designboden, 25 years, 0.01 m²K/W
- JOKA Sinero glued design floors, ?? years, 0.042 m²K/W
- HARO Landhaus plank 4VM, 25 years, 0.01 m²K/W
- AMTICO Cirro, 10 years commercial / private ?? years, 0.0154 m²K/W
- EGGER PRO/HOME design floor, 25/20 years, 0.03 m²K/W
- PARADOR Vinyl Classic, lifetime warranty, ?? resistance
- BMG ecoDesign floor, 20 years, ?? resistance

I do not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of the listed information! Some of the websites are quite user-unfriendly, and it is not always easy or even possible to find the specific details sought.

For underfloor heating, the thermal resistance of the flooring should not exceed 0.15 m²K/W, and all values listed are well below that (ranging from 0.01 to about 0.03/0.042 m²K/W).

It would also be interesting to hear how you interpret the manufacturer's stated warranty. Flooring naturally wears over time (to varying degrees). When do you think a warranty claim is likely to be justified?

Have I possibly missed a good "bio vinyl floor" in my list?

Thanks and have a great weekend, everyone.

I think it is worth mentioning the usage classes as well.

Alternatively, Marmoleum, which is click-lock linoleum. Thermal resistance 0.08 m²·K/W (0.46 ft²·°F·h/BTU)

Alternative Marmoleum

Has anyone installed this in their home by any chance and can share their experience? I find it very interesting.

This is linoleum flooring, right? But I thought it is usually glued down rather than clicked together @Scout?

There is now also a click version available. Not just Marmoleum, but also Forbo’s Modular, and likely from other manufacturers as well.
@ludwig88sta

However, I am not familiar with the click version, as I have only ever had sheet goods installed, which I would choose again every time. To me, it simply feels more appealing than vinyl/PVC/luxury vinyl tile or whatever else you want to call it.

And in plain black... ah, kind of like Por... wait, probably better not to say that... great!
