Hello everyone,

As is often the case with a self-built home, you also plan rooms intended for future use, such as a child's bedroom without children yet. Since these rooms are not really needed at the moment, it doesn’t make sense to invest a lot of money in them. But even in these rooms, everything should be prepared so that no construction dust, for example from unsealed screed, constantly lingers in the air. And maybe from time to time guests might stay who could use this room...

Painting the walls white is no problem; in fact, that’s already done!

But what about the floor?
I’ve been told that with underfloor heating, only glued flooring is suitable. However, I’d rather not glue tiles, parquet, or carpet down now, which might have to be removed after a few years if I want something different for the child’s room. So the idea came up to simply “seal” the floor somehow, maybe with a type of floor lacquer like the kind used in garages...?

I have no experience with this at all and would appreciate comments, opinions, and advice from those more experienced ;-)

Have a nice day,
Teufelchen

You can easily install click laminate or click cork, etc., even with underfloor heating.
Why don’t you want to do it the 'right' way now?
We will cover all the bedrooms and the hallways on the upper floor and attic with the same flooring because we prefer the uniform look, and you generally get better prices when you buy larger quantities.
So, I would use the same flooring as in the other rooms.

I agree with that. Then the work is done once and for all, and the house is complete.

If you don’t want to install the final flooring yet, I would go for the cheapest click laminate I can find. Spending money twice doesn’t make sense...

I saw laminate flooring for 3 euros per square meter (approximately $0.28 per square foot) this weekend. It hardly gets any cheaper than that.
