Hello,
we are looking for suitable flooring for the upper floors.
In the basement and ground floor, the builder will install tiles throughout.
On the first and attic floors, we want to lay the flooring ourselves.
We are looking for a floor that can be installed easily without much experience (I assume it will be a floating floor).
The flooring should be compatible with underfloor heating, meaning it should absorb and distribute heat well. It should also feel pleasantly warm underfoot.
The rooms are bedrooms, a dressing room, and children’s rooms.
The floor should also be durable (not easily scratched or damaged). We don’t have children yet, but one is planned in the future, and the floor should also withstand a larger dog (around 40-50 kg (90-110 lbs)) running across with its claws.
Which type of flooring would you recommend?
Wood flooring? (expensive and sensitive)
Laminate? (with commercial wear rating)
Vinyl?
What about the new bio flooring?
It is advertised as very durable and made from natural raw materials.
Is bio flooring a new alternative to wood flooring, laminate, or vinyl? Or is it just marketing and an unnecessarily expensive product?

My disapproval is mainly based on the fact that most vinyl floors I have seen so far try to imitate wood flooring.Sorry, but you are implying that all home builders and owners are completely uninformed. According to your opinion, the age and quality of life of these people must be greatly diminished or restricted. We should all listen to you instead, and only your statements are correct.Hausbau 55 schrieb:
Sorry, but you are assuming total ignorance on the part of all builders and homeowners.Not ignorance—more like negligence and indifference. By now, the risks of hormone disruptors should be well known. Yet people still get surprised later and complain at fertility clinics about having an empty nest and so on 🙄H

Costs about 30€ I find prices starting from 60€ online – could that have been 1-2 years ago?
Unfortunately, you are from Baden-Württemberg. Here in North Rhine-Westphalia, there is an outlet where I also bought parquet of similar quality from Parador for 32€ per m² (32€ per 10.8 sq ft). That was a year ago, but I believe I have seen very similar prices recently as well. For me, it was smoked oak (click parquet) with about 3.5–4mm (about 0.14–0.16 inches) wear layer, though I don’t remember exactly.
It should be noted that prices for hardwood flooring have increased significantly in some cases. According to a specialist retailer, this is partly due to the absence of a support layer made from spruce wood. For certain Haro hardwood flooring, he couldn't even confirm whether it would be available at all this year. This was in early April.
