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

Sounds like a cliché from an advertising brochure It’s also quoted from a website. Although everyone writes the same thing there.
However, it is true that it looks better, feels better, and is antistatic. That’s also the case with cork, and the indoor climate is simply better there. At least, that’s my impression.

Exactly! It’s purely your perception. But not a fact at all!

Alfredlima17 Oct 2014 16:41I have now read through all the pages and to be honest, I still don’t really understand what Lindura is supposed to be.
It’s probably like many things—it depends on your point of view!
Isn’t there somewhere a comparison with pros and cons...?

So far, there is no direct comparison. However, I think you can already get an idea of the advantages and disadvantages from the previous answers.
+ Appearance like wooden planks (engineered floorboards)
+ Feel similar to parquet/wood due to the oiled real wood top layer
+ More resistant than parquet (to dents, all kinds of shoes)
+ Easier to maintain and more water-resistant
+ Antistatic
- Cannot be sanded down
- Less appealing for people who prefer lacquered surfaces
I wouldn’t consider the price either an advantage or a disadvantage. €50 for a good floor is inexpensive for parquet, normal for cork, and so on. I think it’s reasonable.
Parquet remains interesting for people who want or need to sand down the floor (if you can find a comparable offer price-wise). For us as a family (3 boys ) and with wood flooring even in the kitchen, something more durable is preferable.
But as mentioned, 1. it’s a matter of personal taste, and 2. we will wait a few more months to see if any user experiences become available.

We are also considering whether to install Lindura flooring on the ground floor (including the kitchen and guest toilet). I would therefore be interested in hearing any user experiences.
Regarding the disadvantages, I want to add that our floor fitter pointed out that while you can sand down a rustic-style parquet floor, you will lose that rustic look, so it is likely something you would never do—especially if the floor was installed as a floating floor. I think he has a point...
