Hello,
we have purchased a semi-detached house and are currently looking into the flooring.
On the ground floor, basement, bathroom, and guest toilet, tiles will be installed by the builder.
On the first floor and attic are the bedrooms, dressing room, children’s rooms, and studio. The floor should have the following properties:
- Durable and scratch-resistant
- Very long-lasting
- Easy to maintain
- Suitable for underfloor heating (throughout the house except in the basement)
- Easy to install without advanced DIY skills
What type of flooring would you recommend?
We were considering click vinyl, but would you suggest something else?
What should we pay attention to with vinyl and other types of flooring?

We have no issues with the feel and appearance of vinyl.Then just go for it! Taitv789 schrieb:
Aren’t laminate and parquet more prone to scratches or dents?What scratches laminate and parquet will also scratch vinyl. PVC in the usual quality is not more resistant to mechanical abrasion. It’s different with products made for commercial use, though. In my office at work, I often move furniture around without leaving dents… unlike some residential homes I’ve seen, where corners sometimes get damaged. I can tolerate that in my office, and it feels quite “soft” compared to laminate, but I’m not sure if I’d want that over a large area in bedrooms.
But if you don’t mind the plastic feel, which is what this is about, then that’s all that matters!

You can also go quite “soft,” unlike laminate..That’s a good point—the hard surface (“you can hear a pin drop”). Unfortunately, we also have that “junk” in a few rooms upstairs—the fiberboard covered with photo wallpaper... When I renovate in x years, I will probably switch to cork...
