Hello!
We are currently planning our new build and, of course, are now considering different types of flooring.
I am still looking for a suitable floor covering for the bedroom, study, and children's room, and during my search, I came across linoleum parquet. I should mention that we have two dogs, and it is important to me that the floor is easy to clean, durable, and especially that dust mites, bacteria, and the like cannot settle in it. Tiles would naturally be a good option here, but they feel too cold for me, especially in the children's room.
As I said, the manufacturers’ descriptions sound very promising. Has anyone had any experience with this?
Good luck

The only downside I see is that linoleum does not tolerate moisture well; it swells when exposed to water.

I have since lost my enthusiasm for linoleum. Many friends have installed it in their homes, which led me to choose it for the kitchen flooring, but I strongly regret that decision. The floor scratches very easily because it is so soft, and I find that quite bothersome for such a smooth surface. Additionally, our dishwasher broke down due to a water leak, which caused a section of the floor to swell slightly.
I would never install this type of flooring in a children’s room (we had considered it at one point), as it’s frustrating when it gets scratched after just one week. In a few years, I plan to replace the floor with tiles. The children’s room now has parquet flooring, just like the bedrooms.
