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.

So definitely: in favor of tiles!We will have our entire house fitted with large-format, light-colored tiles. We also have underfloor heating.Wardrobe, building services, kitchen, bathrooms, utility room tiled, remaining parquet floors lacquered. I would only choose oiled parquet from now on. Among other things, the lacquer was applied incorrectly, and now sanding is the only solution.
Only the homeowner wears slippers here; there is no underfloor heating.

There are plenty of phases in new houses when the underfloor heating isn’t running... (all transitional periods in spring and autumn, meaning several months...) during that time, the tiles are unheated and therefore completely cold. Of course, you can lay carpets everywhere, ... Several months... all of them... so the house is not heated at all! Really... what nonsense! My heating keeps the house at a minimum of 22 degrees Celsius (72°F) every day. And if you notice at 8 degrees Celsius (46°F) that the heating needs to be turned on, you just adjust it with a dial or switch.

If the tiles feel pleasantly warm in winter, then the heating is definitely not state of the art and/or is running inefficiently; instead, it’s either poorly designed or poorly configured, Definitely... right...

With typical supply temperatures of 25-30 degrees Celsius (77-86°F) in new builds, tiles feel cold or cool (unless you’re a vampire with a body temperature near zero). ... you’re not just exaggerating. It was already written above/front.
I wonder where you get your so-called knowledge from. Maybe from someone whose heating was poorly set up?
Tego12 is absolutely right. In a modern house (Kfw 40/55 standard), underfloor heating temperatures range from 24 to a maximum of 30 degrees Celsius (75 to 86 degrees Fahrenheit). In this case, tiles feel cold because they are cooler than body temperature and have good thermal conductivity.

ypg, as always, thank you for your kind reply
Regarding heating, you’re splitting hairs... of course, I was referring to the heating system that isn’t running. If the underfloor heating isn’t on, the tiles feel significantly colder than body temperature, and on a material that conducts heat well, that feels cold. That’s always the case, … definitely, … and this “highly specialized” knowledge comes from physics...
If you have 22 degrees Celsius (72°F) indoors and the underfloor heating is off (a typical situation in spring or autumn), the tiles will also be close to 22 degrees Celsius (72°F)… and given normal body temperature, because of the very good thermal conductivity, that just feels very cold. With thicker socks, it’s still bearable, but barefoot or for playing children, it’s really uncomfortable.
Regarding flow temperatures: No, I’m not exaggerating. In the era of heat pumps, the goal is to activate as much surface area as possible in order to keep the flow temperature as low as possible, because every degree lower means higher efficiency (so here we are again with physics)! This also applies, though to a lesser extent, to other heating systems like gas. Flow temperatures above 30 degrees Celsius (86°F) are simply poorly designed nowadays, as that costs money in the long run. These 30 degrees Celsius (86°F) are only reached at very low outdoor temperatures... at 0 degrees Celsius (32°F) outside, the flow temperature of the underfloor heating is usually closer to 25 degrees Celsius (77°F) than to 30… (of course, it depends on the house and heating system design, and it can also be lower).
Passive houses, as an extreme example, require even lower flow temperatures; even at -10 degrees Celsius (14°F) outside, 25 degrees Celsius (77°F) is often sufficient…
