Cork or bamboo for a children's room?

Parenting ... yes, but the first time is just the first time. As if the little one had already damaged the parquet before. Never had situations that weren’t there before and weren’t to be expected?

I would say children are either sensitized to it or not. There’s more than just parquet: the nice Benz sofa, high-quality white lacquer doors, stylish wallpaper. If children grow up with the necessary "caution," it’s not a problem. In my experience.. Besides: an oiled oak floorboard or parquet really isn’t that sensitive!

And now the question:
Do the affected friends think it's good that the free spirit of the daughter has won, or are they furious?

We are parquet fans and I also find continuous floor coverings to be high-quality. So I don't like this mix, it feels like a rental apartment. But with kids, it's really a different matter. If they were older, I would immediately put the parquet in the KZ too.

They were horrified. The little one is super sweet. Only she has a rather cheap plastic Bobby car. And then the wrench was lying there. She is not yet two.
Mine painted the wall and proudly showed me. He couldn't understand at all why my enthusiasm was moderate.

: painted or oiled?

With 2 children's rooms of 20 sqm each and an additional cost for bamboo parquet (glued) compared to reasonable laminate of say ~50€ -> 2,000€ extra cost and thus a warm floor, sandable, with a great feel, no patching of various floors (I also find that terrible, it immediately looks like money ran out or a rental apartment).

Wait, I said "I only know it as maintenance-intensive." Maybe something has changed since then and I am mistaken. If I were you, I would very carefully question what kind of maintenance is actually necessary.

Marble is very maintenance-intensive; that has not changed. It quickly gets water stains and stains from juice, wine, or other acids. It wouldn’t be anything for me, and besides, I also find the look terrible, but as we know, that’s a matter of taste! However, I also wouldn’t lay parquet in the children’s rooms; I wouldn’t want to have to worry about the flooring with every loud noise coming from the children’s room. My son is a teenager now and pays less attention to his floor than he did as a child. There are also nice design floors without plasticizers, etc., which are recommended by Ökotest; they are also not as loud as laminate.

Best regards

That has nothing to do with maintenance. It is sensitive to acids - that's it. And once the stain is in, maintenance won't help anymore. It does not get water stains faster than any other flooring. With impregnation, it doesn't get water stains at all.
