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

Fanta, I’m afraid I have to disappoint you. We won’t need the surface covering until next year. By then, there might be some user reviews online. But every now and then, you have to try something new.

I just wonder why people don’t simply call it "sawdust" instead of "wood powder."

Good luck

... that means I am buying a thin real wood veneer layer with sawdust, uh, wood powder

This is how it sounds – which doesn’t have to be a bad thing, but considering the materials aren’t exactly high-tech, it seems quite expensive to me. However, Wood Powder definitely sounds better than sawdust.

Quote from the page: "Here, wood flour is mixed with melamine resin and mineral substances to create an incredibly durable surface."

So basically, the top layer is just a coating made from these materials, which is somehow printed and then applied to the click laminate panels? Or is there real wood underneath (or on top)?

No, there is a layer of real wood on top of the 'Wood Powder' layer.
