We are about to decide what type of flooring to install in the living room and children’s rooms, and with so many options available, we’ve become quite unsure. Right now, we have oiled cork flooring in a ship deck pattern in the children’s rooms, and we really like the comfort it provides. However, the kids no longer like the cork, and they want something different in the new house. But what?

What kind of flooring do you have in your living room and children’s rooms (bedrooms)? And why? Would you choose the same again? If yes – why? If not – why? We have a low-temperature underfloor heating system.

A friend had it installed in his basement, but since that was only about a month ago, there is still little experience with it.

In an episode of the show "Unser Traum vom Haus," there were also problems. After application, there was no uniform surface; a seam could be seen between the two rooms. This seam could not be removed! Unfortunately, I do not know what happened afterward. I assume everything had to be removed.

My point is, if it is installed poorly, problems can occur, and everything will have to be removed.

Unfortunately, there is still not much information available in forums!
