We are planning to build a new house. From my work experience, I am really impressed with vinyl flooring (we will also have underfloor heating). So the decision is already made for the living and sleeping areas. Until now, I thought tiles would be best for the kitchen and hallway. Or should we also use vinyl there? What are your experiences?
You are making an assumption and treating it as true because otherwise, you would have to question the decision based on that assumption, which has likely already been made. Here, vinyl and harmful substances.
Answer: Formaldehyde is continuously emitted from chipboard.
And there is no reason to rule out that harmful substances used in vinyl (which are still not recognized as such today) could do the same. Lindane, asbestos, or PCBs were once also considered harmless.

There are limit values that must be observed. From my research, I read that the coverings for limit determination are measured at a very/high air exchange rate (I think it was n=1), a specific temperature (below underfloor heating level?), and the joints are sealed. Similar to testing methods used for cars.
Therefore, in the bedroom/children’s rooms, we do not have vinyl flooring, or only vinyl with the Blue Angel certification, a hard surface, and not made from plastic-based materials. Unfortunately, such adhesive-backed products were not available at that time.
By now, there are adhesive design floorings with the Blue Angel certification, and if vinyl is to be used, these are the only ones I would consider.
