I am planning to install vinyl flooring in a new building with underfloor heating and controlled ventilation in the living room area of about 34 sqm (365 sq ft) and in all four bedrooms.
1. What is recommended here: gluing or click-lock installation?
2. Usually, gluing is recommended for new buildings, but how can a damaged glued vinyl plank be replaced in this case? Do you have any instructions for this?
3. Can glued vinyl be completely removed later to install a new floor?
4. How does vinyl react to heavy furniture?
5. Does the vinyl adhesive break down due to the temperature or moisture from the underfloor heating screed?
6. Is a 0.5 mm (0.02 inch) wear layer recommended for a family with children, or is 0.3 mm (0.01 inch) sufficient?
Thank you,

For example, we have a glass sliding door between the hallway and the kitchen, and if there were a gap, joint, or threshold between the rooms, it definitely wouldn’t look as good.
The type of vinyl is plank-style. The flooring installer always referred to them as "planks." It is comparable in size to click-lock laminate floorboards.
The labels are:
Upper floor: Design surface Creation 30 Calypso
Ground floor: DesignFlooring Opus Grano
Basement: Joka Deluxe White Sawn Cut

I thought that the joint was a type of expansion joint, which is absolutely necessary because vinyl can expand and contract.
How did you, or how do you plan to, handle the height difference between the bathroom and hallway?
Aren’t light-colored vinyl floors more prone to showing dirt?
Otherwise, your vinyl looks really great.
