Does parquet only have advantages compared to design flooring?

If the design flooring is not explicitly suitable for wet rooms, the manufacturer's care instructions usually state that it may only be wiped with a barely damp cloth.

In new buildings, the parquet thickness is already specified with the installation of the screed in the bill of quantities, so that the later height matches the rest of the usable level.
There are no problems with the connection height! It may be somewhat different in existing buildings, but even there, there are ways to adjust the transition between rooms before laying the parquet so that you don’t have to "lift your legs."
The next question is: "What does usually so thin mean?"
Which rule could that be referring to? Are there possibly even normative requirements for the wood wear layer thickness in multi-layer parquet???
To answer this question, let’s take a look at DIN EN 13489. This is the standard that deals with wooden floors, especially multi-layer parquet elements.
There we see under section 3.3, among other things, that the solid wood wear layer must be at least 2.5 mm before installation.
Under another section 4.6.5, we even find something about "renovation and repair"!
Multi-layer parquet, it says there, must be able to be refurbished at least twice...
Question answered.
If we also include the (correct) remark by "nordanney" regarding the thermal resistance value in this brief evaluation, then nothing stands in the way of installing parquet, whether solid parquet or multi-layer parquet, on underfloor heating!

My opinion: Parquet is superior to vinyl flooring in every way. The only reason for vinyl is the variety of designs. In terms of price, they are comparable, with vinyl tending to be somewhat cheaper.

But if someone slaps vinyl in oak look (yes, that exists), they really haven't got a clue .

Pro parquet: real wood feel and appearance. Looks noble, high-quality, yet cozy. Pro vinyl, price, suitability for underfloor heating, can withstand both water and rough treatment, Sylvester party with dancing in high heels, better.

I would definitely tend towards the design floor. We have the Modular One from Parador. It looks very stylish and has been very durable so far with two small children, and it also has the [blauen Engel] – so no plasticizers inside.

In the old rental apartment, we had parquet and found the constantly new dents and scratches very annoying – if that doesn't bother you, you can also go for parquet.

It always depends on what you want: a natural product that, however, develops its own patina over time, or a very resistant floor. Then you can for example look for design floors with the [blauen Engel] at Parador or Meister.

We have 3-layer engineered parquet, varnished, 2.5 mm wear layer. Can you roughly say how often such a floor can be sanded? Once after 10 years and then disposed of after another 10 years?

In the entrance area (maybe 1 sqm), the parquet does not settle well, it’s floating installed, and the front door scrapes lightly. Do you have any idea here? Maybe remove and glue it? Or will it possibly still settle?

Thanks and regards
