Senso cast floor - Does anyone have experience?

We have baseboards. You do advertise a bit that you can go right up to the wall and then just seal the gap from the insulation strip, but everyone from Senso we spoke to who also has children advised using baseboards :)

Was the floor covered afterwards for kitchen installation and other workers?

Yes, we lived with protective fleece in various places for several weeks until everything was done. ;) But I have to say, the floor is not more sensitive than parquet (I think).

all of those from Senso we spoke to who have children themselves have recommended skirting boards

For us too, however, our children are already older and my husband would prefer without. However, I have concerns regarding the vacuum cleaner brush, which without skirting boards will surely leave its marks at some point if you’re not careful.

That is apparently exactly the case - that it always eventually turns gray

Hello, we have been living with a Senso floor since last December. On the ground floor we have Bcrete (so that the floor is a bit "harder" there) and upstairs, where the children's rooms are, we have Fusion as a "softer" variant.

Of course, I can't say anything about the durability yet...

For us, it was important when choosing that the floor is good for sitting, lying down, barefoot walking, the seamless installation throughout the entire floor (and no seams even in the showers), that it is easy to clean, as well as the plant-based raw material and sustainability.

So far, we are very satisfied in all these areas. It is really great to walk and sit on. You just have to be careful with (wool) socks, as it has almost caused everyone in the family to slip out of the curve at some point...

We visited the showroom in Munich and "felt" the floor there. Due to the Corona peak phase, we could not visit "real" users but only talk on the phone.

The integration into our construction cost us some nerves. On the one hand, because no one knew it yet: general contractor not, screed layer not, installer not (because of the shower channel), tiler (sealing to wall tiles) not - that required several phone calls, personal visits from the Senso people, and always following up. But everything was solvable. On the other hand, because Senso has a very tight schedule. They need the construction site to themselves for a week, which is scheduled right at the beginning so that no dust gets on the floor. And the tiler, stair builder, sanitary installation should all be finished. We actually felt we had a lot of buffer time, but it still was delayed so that it became tight to keep our appointment. And then nothing more would have been guaranteed in the calendar year. But that was also possible to arrange.

That’s it for now. If you want to know anything else - gladly.

Many thanks for sharing your experiences and thoughts! I would be very interested to know: how sensitive are your two Senso floors and how does this manifest? Can the floor’s sensitivity be compared to tiles or rather to parquet? How about furniture marks or how does the floor react, for example in the area of dining chairs, which are always pushed back and forth? Do you see first signs of wear and if so, where/how did these occur and how pronounced are they? Sorry for prying, but I’m very glad to have "come across" someone who already has experience with the Senso floor :) Of course, I would be happy to receive an answer. Best regards!

A comparison is difficult, especially after such a short time. Imprints from furniture, even heavy cabinets, are not visible at all, neither on Bcrete nor on Fusion. We have given all the furniture felt gliders – so far nothing has happened, but we also don't want to take any risks. We have a few scratch marks in the vestibule, presumably from stones under street shoes, and a white line from moving in our couch :rolleyes: But otherwise, it proves to be quite robust. I might say, like parquet. Where you really need to be careful is with colors. Our children already have a few spots in the children's rooms where they drew beyond the paper on the floor with felt-tip pens or ballpoint pens, and so far I haven’t been able to remove the color.
