SebastianSEHello fellow home builders,
We are facing the big question of which flooring to choose for our living room, as well as for the bedroom and childrenâs rooms.
We have underfloor heating throughout, so that already rules out parquet and cork.
We donât want a fully tiled floor either, since we already have tiles in the entrance area, kitchen, and bathrooms.
Vinyl is completely synthetic and apparently full of plasticizers. Weâre running out of ideasâdo you have any suggestions?
This is mainly about the dining and living rooms, bedrooms, and children's rooms.
Iâm very happy to receive your suggestions and experiences.

Especially during the transitional seasons (when the heating is still off or already off), itâs great for feet and children sitting on the floor. However, choose a durable wood like oak, as softer woods can get damaged quickly by children (although that can also add character since wood is a natural material).
Cork flooring is an option too, but I donât like it as much. Carpet feels too dirty for me.
With underfloor heating, almost any floor covering works, including cork and wood flooring, as long as it is properly installed or the individual manufacturer does not prohibit it.

I have been told that parquet and cork have very good thermal insulation properties, which causes a lot of energy loss. Laminate, on the other hand, is quite noisy when walking on it and feels rather cool. I recently came across linoleum, a natural product that is very durable. Have you had any experience with it?

nordanney4 Dec 2014 22:52The statement about parquet and cork is simply incorrect!
If it were true, the parquet and cork industries would soon have to give up, since the majority of new buildings and newer existing properties are equipped with underfloor heating.
The flooring just needs to be suitable and installed correctly (generally glued down).
I have no experience with linoleum.
