Flooring for Which Room / Ideas & Tips

What do you think about stone carpets? At least in the hall, corridor, wardrobe, guest WC

We have multi-layer parquet (240x19) for 50.33 EUR gross.

Our long-pile carpet is 55 EUR gross.

The tiles are standard gray everywhere except in the bathrooms, 60x60 for 25 EUR gross, in the bathrooms they are more expensive, all about 50 EUR.

We glued and sealed cork. The walking feel is very pleasant. In the children's rooms, I also find it very good, warm, soft yet smooth (ideal play surface for all kinds of ...). In the bathrooms and utility room, we have tiles.

The alternative for me would be parquet or carpet, the latter especially in the bedroom.

Do you possibly have a photo of that? I find it hard to imagine cork like that. Can you see seams? Cork also in the living room?

Any concerns about plasticizers in vinyl?

That's also my main concern somehow. Especially with underfloor heating. Can you solely trust the Blue Angel certification in this case?

Modern cork flooring / cork designer flooring looks like vinyl flooring in my opinion. The only difference is that cork flooring is a natural product, while vinyl has plastic underneath. That's at least how I perceived it with acquaintances.

Cork is rather bad for underfloor heating. If necessary, the underfloor heating can also be installed in the walls, but I would probably only go to that effort with really high-quality wooden floors.

There are huge differences in the feel and durability of vinyl that cannot be determined by price. There are very large discounts online, and you can order samples.

I also have vinyl, am satisfied, but would only install vinyl with the Blue Angel label. I find glued vinyl significantly better, especially on the ground floor. Gluable vinyl with the Blue Angel label has only been available for about a year (from Meister and, if I remember correctly, also from Wineo).

Almost all design coverings are only click systems and have corresponding carrier layers. The coverings from Classen have the best suitability for underfloor heating among click coverings.

It is worth taking a look at the datasheets regarding thermal conductivity and abrasion class.

Completely tiled apartments or houses always give me that "vacation apartment feeling"... The main thing is that they are durable. When the heating is on, it is nice and warm, but otherwise the advantage of good thermal conductivity turns against you and I find tiles very cold underfoot. For me, it was never an option to have the entire house tiled... Even though the plumber would have liked that very much. Those who are avid slipper wearers might not mind it. But for children who play on the floor, it is certainly unpleasant.

In the case of cork parquet, the underlayer (impact sound insulation) and the intermediate layer under the décor are made of cork. The total thickness for me is about 4mm. It definitely works with underfloor heating, I can say that from personal experience.
