Buying guide for vinyl flooring for new construction

Don't overthink it. It basically doesn't matter how wide the boards are. Just lay them perpendicular to the main direction of the room, then it will work. Use whatever you like better.

Is it really that indifferent?

In small rooms, a 2.20m long plank wouldn't look so good if 1-2 planks are almost the entire room width. In that case, 1.20m country house planks would probably look better. The Modular One also has a surrounding micro-bevel.

I have also read that for large rooms people often use castle planks because the long planks make the room appear bigger.

I wanted to know your experiences and opinions on what you would recommend for the attic with sloping ceilings (approx. 35 sqm room):

Castle plank or country house plank?

I believe that the floor only has a minor impact on the spatial impression. The distribution of wall/window and the furnishings matter much more. Also, trivial things like items lying on the floor. Therefore, don’t overthink it.

Maybe there is a smartphone app that allows you to virtually place different sized floorboards in the room using AR. Something like that could also be great for minimizing waste.

Thanks for the tip about AR.

We have now decided on the Modular One in Landhausdiele.

I have another question about laying.

On the upper floor, we have 3 rooms and a hallway. Each room has an expansion joint in the screed.
On the upper floor, we should definitely carry over the expansion joints in the screed to the Modular One and install a transition strip, right?

How does it look on the top floor?
That is an approx. 35 sqm room with 2 expansion joints in the screed and 3 heating circuits.
Do we also have to carry over the expansion joints in the Modular One on the attic floor? It wouldn’t look so good visually if we just laid it continuously.

Do we have to carry over the expansion joints in the attic?

Theoretically yes, but in practice many just don’t do that. I think there are special mats or panels for that, properly made.
