Hi!
We are currently considering which flooring options to choose for our new build. The tendency is to mainly use tiles or natural stone. However, that doesn’t seem to be very suitable for the two children’s rooms (and possibly not for the bedroom either). I’ve done a lot of research online, and bamboo or cork appear to be good flooring choices for the children’s rooms. What do you think? Cork seems to be more affordable.
For the living room, we are thinking about treating ourselves to marble.
Bedroom? If we go with bamboo parquet for the children’s rooms, then maybe the bedroom as well.

I don’t understand the reservations against combining parquet flooring with underfloor heating. The heating loops can be installed closer together if there are concerns that the heating output might otherwise be insufficient. Talk to your heating installer. You shouldn’t let such prejudices influence your decision.

Albinomaus14 Oct 2019 12:51Even though this thread is a bit older now, may I ask which option you chose? And are you satisfied with that decision? We are currently considering similar options regarding the children's bedrooms, so I am interested in the outcome here.

If you use untreated cork flooring to glue down, you still have the issue of choosing an adhesive that is as low in harmful substances as possible (are there good options?). Also, an online listing from a home improvement retailer described "untreated cork" as "low emission." Does untreated cork release any harmful substances, even if only in small amounts?
Have you already made a decision, @Albinomaus?
