Hello dear forum community,
we are currently considering the flooring for our upper floor: bedroom, office, dressing room.
We would like to choose a uniform flooring throughout.
At first, we thought of click vinyl. After checking out a few home improvement stores and specialist flooring retailers, the alternatives mentioned above have come up.
Advantages of vinyl: texture, easy installation, moisture resistant.
Disadvantage: plasticizers in the material (although currently considered safe).
Advantages of cork: natural raw material, warm and comfortable underfoot feeling.
Disadvantage: sensitive to moisture, surface relatively soft even in the pressed version. (Possibly problematic in the office)
Lindura (brand name, we are open to alternatives)
Advantages for us personally: best appearance, pleasant underfoot feel, natural raw material, moisture resistant.
Disadvantage: relatively expensive compared to others, limited decor options.
It would be great if you could share your experiences.
Mineral laminate (Logoclic Xtreme)
According to a Bauhaus employee, it has been available for 2 weeks.
Unfortunately, no information besides the promotional video. The friendly staff repeated in a loop that the material is mineral-based, like screed, and that’s all they know...
We liked the decor, it is supposed to be a natural raw material and absolutely moisture resistant.
We are open to manufacturer suggestions, especially regarding Lindura and Logoclic Xtreme.
Good luck Fanta

I forgot to mention that the flooring should be suitable for underfloor heating, but this shouldn’t be a problem with any of the products.
Parquet or plank flooring is not an option for us. While this type of flooring is wonderfully natural, it is unfortunately too delicate (based on our personal experience). Although... beyond a certain price point, there are probably extremely hard wood options available.

Alfredlima23 Sep 2014 16:14Mineral-based materials are known, like screed, right? What is that? What kind of explanation is that supposed to be?
Do you have any price information to go along with your table? Since you mentioned that Lindura is relatively expensive.
Could it be something like design screed?

Hello,
we will be installing Lindura on the ground floor: living room, dining area, and kitchen.
Lindura is a product by Meister, so there are no alternative manufacturers for this.
@alfred:
Lindura is a natural flooring. It is constructed like cork parquet but with a real wood top layer. The price is about 50€/sqm (about $50 per square meter).
However, for the upper floor and attic (all bedrooms and hallways, around 120sqm (about 1290 square feet)) this is too expensive for us, so we will use cork flooring there instead. The cost is only around 20€/sqm (about $20 per square meter).

nordanney23 Sep 2014 20:06I just took a look at Lindura but haven’t quite figured out what it actually is. It sounds like engineered wood flooring with a veneer surface!? How thick is the wear layer? At an overall thickness of 11mm (0.43 inches), it’s probably not refinishable. In my opinion, it’s therefore too expensive compared to “real” solid wood parquet.
==> Visually, however, it is appealing!

@nordanney ... What exactly is this...
I have the same issue. The glossy brochure sounds nice, but it’s hard to judge what it really is and how durable it will be... At least Meister has a pretty good reputation.
As Milkie mentioned, it’s a proprietary product from Meister. There doesn’t seem to be a comparable product on the market yet...
We really like the appearance and the promised durability would be a huge advantage compared to hardwood flooring, in our view.
@milkie Are you planning to install the flooring as a floating layer over the underfloor heating? Or perhaps use contact adhesive? It would be great if you could share your initial experiences after moving in. Our installation won’t happen until spring... so we still have some time...
We just thought that making every decision calmly in advance will make the busy phase less stressful.
Good luck
