our settlement includes 65 terraced houses, each with underfloor heating from 1978. At least every second one has had carpet upstairs since then, fully glued down. We do too. And have warm feet. It's also a "rare" taste to live with tiles in the bedrooms. Besides, no dust flies around because it is attracted by the carpet.

Wow, as a former severe house dust allergy sufferer, I have to strongly disagree... If that were the case, a carpet in the bedroom would be the solution for allergy sufferers, but unfortunately the opposite is true.
The only advantage of a carpet is that you can't see the dust

Hello Der Da,


Sorry, I have to disagree!

The carpet binds the dust, which is why it is indeed suitable for house dust or mite allergy sufferers.

"Borrowed" from daab: "For allergy sufferers, smooth floors are only more favorable if they are cleaned wet very frequently - several times a week - because dust here is stirred up more than with low-pile carpets"

PS: my daughter is, among other things, a house dust allergy sufferer

Rhenish greetings

So when I was still allergic, I couldn’t open my eyes in the morning, nor could I breathe. It got better after the carpet was removed. I had the same problem in hotels. But after 4 years of injection therapy, I think I could sleep in a vacuum cleaner bag. My dermatologist also gave me the tip to remove the carpet. There was this fancy colorful brochure about everything you should do. Change mattresses, allergen-proof bedding, change covers weekly, etc... up to removing the carpet. Only after this step did it become bearable for me in the rental apartment.

DerDa, the advantage for you may lie in smooth surfaces. Perhaps you just omitted the topic of underfloor heating, and sometimes only belief in it helps. But it is definitely the case that dust flies with underfloor heating and smooth surfaces. In the 90s, there was a wave of "smoothing" bedroom floors. But by now people have moved away from that again.
