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.

bauenmk20205 Jan 2020 20:55We are currently planning to tile the living and dining area, using the same tiles as in the kitchen (open space) and hallway. Color: gray.
We have already selected some tiles and still need to review the samples at the specialist store.
At first, I wasn’t sure if I wanted tiles in the living room, but basically, I like the pleasant coolness in summer, and in winter I wear socks and slippers anyway, plus we have underfloor heating. So, this aspect does not bother me.
Regarding wooden floorboards, I read that the manufacturer specifies a maximum temperature of 26°C (79°F) for underfloor heating. That was initially a dealbreaker for real wood flooring for me. We might install vinyl flooring in the bedroom and children’s room, with an oak look. We would actually prefer linoleum, which is sometimes called “hospital flooring,” but I could not find a good oak design for it.
The guest bathroom will have wood-look tiles (120x20 cm (47x8 inches)) with black tiles on the walls. Current plan for the main bathroom: black tiles on floors and walls. In the shower area, light-colored floor tiles. All tiles are 30x60 cm (12x24 inches).
The utility room will also have light-colored tiles (30x60 cm (12x24 inches)).

Vicky Pedia5 Jan 2020 21:21@Altai : I completely agree! I built it for the first time this year, and the kids playing on it really appreciate it. And if the plumber also pushes the boundaries, the underfloor heating can handle it—that’s proven by now. And the plumber wanted tiles? That shouldn't matter to him at all...
We will install white-pigmented oiled oak wood parquet throughout the entire house, including the kitchen, guest toilet, master bathroom, and entrance hall. The only exceptions are natural stone tiles, which we will use in the master shower area and the children’s bathroom. We were advised against using natural stone tiles everywhere, so I’m curious to see how they will perform.

Did they explain why it’s better not to use natural stone tiles? I am a complete beginner!
