Install vinyl flooring yourself

The more wood content or other natural “ingredients” and you will have the same problems as we did, as long as it is a new build. For underfloor heating, I would not recommend the variant you chose. How is the heat supposed to come through the floor if you insulate from below?

what is there to recommend?

let’s sum it up!

-harder to lay
-it comes loose in less than a year
-and it already has scratches

so this can be better.

True. It can be better. But with what? Tiles? If a pot should ever fall, you have broken tiles.. With parquet? Do you have pets? Parquet in the kitchen..... well. One can argue whether the floor is too sensitive or not. Hard to lay? Who said that? Vinyl is laid like parquet or laminate, as long as it is to be installed floating. Scratches.... show me a floor, except carpet, that doesn’t get scratches over the course of its use. By the way, our vinyl is first-generation vinyl that comes with natural ingredients. That it doesn’t go as planned can happen.

What floor did you lay?

We have installed Meister vinyl flooring floating over tiles in the kitchen and are very satisfied with it. Upstairs in the children's rooms there is cork - in my opinion, vinyl is more durable. Both are warm to the feet. In the new house, this vinyl flooring will be installed almost everywhere except in the bathrooms, kitchen, and hallway.

We also decided on vinyl click parquet throughout the entire house from the specialist dealer at a very good price per square meter. We originally wanted cork parquet, but it is simply not as durable and robust as vinyl click parquet!

Especially with 2 dogs, vinyl flooring is simply better than cork.

I have now ordered Cortex Vinyl (vinylite as the designation) on HDF and cork for a 100 sqm retail space (children's shoe store). In January, I will install it myself. I'm curious to see how it will go.

Do you have underfloor heating?
