Prices for flooring AND shower - which one will it be?

Hello,

can someone please help us with the question about floor coverings?
We have underfloor heating. A total of 110 sqm is to be covered. What prices should we approximately expect if we have it done (including skirting etc.).
Medium quality (not from the DIY store). Preferably with different coverings: carpet, laminate, planks.

And then one more thing:
We are undecided between a walk-in shower and a flat shower tray. Of course, there is a huge price difference. But are there any other pros and cons?

Hello!

Do you still remember the underfloor heating :)? So: tiles or glued parquet. Rough guideline: €100 per sqm, usually more :p - of course, it also depends on the material cost.

Carpet and laminate I would usually lay myself - if it’s going to be cheap, then properly.

And the planks - that was a joke, right!?

Where exactly is the price difference between the two shower options? Our tray (2.5 cm) is low-maintenance, 100% watertight, and not completely slip-resistant.

A walk-in shower can be wheelchair accessible, is slip-resistant (because of the joints), not so easy to clean (because of the joints), and 99% likely to be watertight - but if you belong to the 1%, you really get the short end of the stick :p.

Best regards,
TomTom.

oh yes, underfloor heating. with that, I can probably forget about thick woods, right? but I also don't want parquet or tiles in the children's room. what about cork?

Cork works great - we have it too - glued and sealed. But it's not really cheap.

Underfloor heating does not mean that you have to glue down wooden floors or that you have to do without wooden floors, etc...

It is true that floating wooden floors initially conduct heat worse than tile floors, etc... However, since underfloor heating is very slow anyway, you turn it on once, set the desired temperature, and then leave it running... whether it takes an hour longer at the beginning to warm up is then beside the point...

What is much more important with wood is the temperature! It should not get too high, so it is really only suitable for low-temperature systems with temperatures in the range of <30°C.

I would roughly calculate around 50-70€/m² in the "mid-range," including installation and materials... In this price range, you then have the choice between (not too expensive) engineered wood flooring, vinyl flooring, cork, linoleum, and tiles... For solid wood planks, you will have to dig a little deeper into your pocket...

With underfloor heating, cheap coverings are ruled out, aside from their sensibility, already for reasons of energy efficiency. Ideal are tiles with a high fireclay content (these store heat very well). In the wood sector, you have to glue down decent material, which costs. With tiles, however, you can negotiate quite well at the specialist trade if you have a lot done. We paid around 62 euros per sqm including everything for official material (Spanish calibrated tiles, wear class 8 (!), high fireclay content, and not even orderable in quality at the hardware store). Skirtings were then included in the fixed price; here I don’t know the price per meter... 60 euros = total price divided by finished area. In the bathroom, it became significantly more expensive, thanks to the dear lady’s heartfelt wish... Villeroy & Boch tiles alone cost 60 euros per sqm... without laying, adhesive, skirtings, etc.
