Hello 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 children’s rooms.
We have underfloor heating throughout, so that already rules out parquet and cork.
We don’t 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. We’re running out of ideas—do you have any suggestions?
This is mainly about the dining and living rooms, bedrooms, and children's rooms.
I’m very happy to receive your suggestions and experiences.

An architect recommended it to us, and the specialist retailer also said it wouldn’t be a problem—though you might need to oil it more often, click-lock parquet Splashes from cooking (sauce, grease splatters, etc.) leave stains on oiled parquet that definitely cannot be removed if they are not wiped off IMMEDIATELY. We like parquet as well, but for this reason among others, we chose not to use it in the kitchen (plus bathroom and hallway). I already found it frustrating when grease from the grill ruined the wooden terrace.

We have wood-look tiles, even with a textured surface you can feel. So far, everyone has been fooled by them. The chimney inspector even wanted to refuse the fireplace approval because of the missing glass panel. Wood appearance but the advantages of tiles, especially with underfloor heating.

I’m also considering installing wood-look tiles. Could you maybe send a photo and tell me what I should pay attention to?

trendyandi12 Mar 2015 13:30I can highly recommend the Silent CT laminate series from Haro (we have Tritty 100 Chestnut Impresso Gran Via)! It has adhesive strips under the planks, making it very quiet!
EveundGerd12 Mar 2015 15:18We will install vinyl flooring from Classen, Neo Wood 33, floating in the main room (open kitchen-living area). There is a new underlayment for this floor; it is suitable for underfloor heating and has a good appearance.

hanru200320 Mar 2015 06:40So, if all goes well, we plan to install tiles on the ground floor and laminate flooring on the upper floors (first floor and attic).
We will have underfloor heating on the ground floor and first floor, while the attic will only have radiators. It’s possible that we might also decide to install underfloor heating in the attic later – we’ll see.
