I am trying to reduce the costs of our new build as much as possible by doing some of the work myself. Originally, I planned to install the laminate flooring over the underfloor heating as a floating floor. However, a tradesperson warned me that without gluing, gaps might form between the planks. They also mentioned that there could be energy losses.
Now I have several questions: Why can gaps and heat loss occur with floating installation, and is it feasible for a non-professional to install the laminate with adhesive?

You’re not the only one whose prince reacts like that. My husband sometimes has those moods as well. The important thing is that the work isn’t done twice. Otherwise, it just costs more money, which could then be spent elsewhere.
I wish you a calm Friday.

For this reason, I believe it is correct to follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

Anyone who has not done this work before must hire a professional company for it. If mistakes are made here, it will end up costing more in the long run.
Of course, costs are an important factor in new construction. That's why many tasks are done by the owner. It is also important to pay attention to the thickness of the laminate. These are all factors related to heat loss.
