We are considering which type of flooring would be most suitable for a new build with underfloor heating.
Tiles in the bathroom, definitely. But what about the hallway and kitchen? Tiles again, or would vinyl flooring be better? For the living room, guest room, and bedroom, I was thinking of vinyl flooring. Or would that feel too cold since, with underfloor heating, you wouldn’t use carpets anyway?

Vinyl is not sensitive at all, and especially with children, you often sit or lie on the floor, so I find it very comfortable that it is not as hard as tiles and feels warmer. I would always choose vinyl for living areas. In the hallway, maybe tiles are better, but either way is fine.
I would never choose vinyl again; we have it in the children's rooms. It’s more prone to scratching than our €4 laminate from the student rental apartment, even though it costs almost ten times as much. It doesn’t feel nice, and after looking at it for two years, the appearance is somehow disappointing. Nothing beats tiles, and in the bedrooms, parquet flooring is best.
