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

As I understand it, the top layer is real wood, underneath that is this "miracle material," and below that is an MDF substrate board. Presumably, the sawdust—or rather, wood powder—is used to create a stable (hard) base for the wood, which is quite thin. So overall, it’s a type of laminate but with a real wood surface.
The catalog shows the product’s construction. The deciding factor for us is: it has an oiled wood surface (so you can feel the wood rather than the lacquered plastic of laminate), but you don’t have to worry if children come in with soccer cleats or guests with high heels running through the house.
Oiled surfaces enhance the natural qualities of the wood. Both the grain and the natural color are visually emphasized. Oil keeps the wood breathable, acts as an antistatic agent, and thus contributes to a positive indoor climate...
Also, as you already mentioned, it feels more natural.
Some people prefer lacquered surfaces, but we do not.

So many things are said to create a positive indoor climate...
@WildThing, yes, oiled surfaces do require a bit more maintenance
