ᐅ Warm floor coverings to avoid retrofitting underfloor heating?

We live in our apartment, which was built 20 years ago.

We are just tired of the tiled floors. Unfortunately, we don’t have underfloor heating. The area is approximately 95 m² (1023 ft²).

We have already looked into it a bit – retrofitting underfloor heating is a significant financial and technical effort. Especially because the apartment on the upper floor shares the same heating circuit with radiators, which would require different supply temperatures.

Requirements:

We definitely want wood flooring (at least visually) that is relatively warm. However, we have two small children and a large dog, so it should also be resistant to scratches, etc.

We just can’t decide between the following options:

- Parquet (oak)
- Vinyl (HARO Disano – free of harmful substances, could also be installed directly over the existing tile floor)
- Cork with a wood look (e.g., from HARO)

OR

- Wood-look tiles WITH UNDERFLOOR HEATING??? :-(

or, or, or...

Can anyone give us helpful advice or suggestions, perhaps with personal experience?

THANK YOU VERY MUCH

Solid hardwood parquet, hard-sealed, beech or oak. Lasts for decades. Truly. Personal experience. If it becomes dull, clear the room, sand, reseal, done.
