Underfloor heating, laminate, or tiles: which is warmer for the feet?

Hello,

we are getting underfloor heating in our KFW 55 house, and now we are wondering whether to choose tiles or laminate.
Do you have any experience?
What is warmer for the feet in summer, what in winter?
We don’t want our children to get cold bottoms, but I find carpet too unhygienic.

Thank you :)!

Tiles in winter

Laminate/parquet in summer, spring, autumn

There is also something between summer and winter... when you no longer turn on the heating, but it’s still not so insanely hot that you would find cold tiles pleasant. So: neither laminate nor tiles. I would always choose vinyl planks or covering. Waterproof (unlike laminate), but not cold underfoot. They are also easy to clean and if you choose ones with surface texture, they are not smooth/slippery.

Well, I have to say that I find vinyl absolutely terrible based on the experiences from our rental apartment here. Without underfloor heating, it's at least as cold on the feet as laminate, and when cleaning, you don't even know if it actually helps because the floor doesn't visibly get wet at all, and although it has some texture, you slip very easily... our little daughter, who has only been walking independently for a few weeks, can only walk there with those non-slip socks because she constantly slips with regular socks. My parents-in-law have tiles over underfloor heating in the living room, which I haven't found pleasant or warm in winter so far, but rather cool in summer (with shorts on the floor with our daughter, it gets too cold after a short time). I have no experience with underfloor heating with laminate.

Laminate is plastic. I find it worse as a seat cushion than a carpet that you can throw away after three years because the children will sit on the chair anyway. Tiles are cold in summer, unless the sun warms them up. That feels pleasant on warm days.

However, a note: both surfaces, including parquet and others, are hard. There is a reason why you find certain carpets on the floor. With baby fat on the knees, it's okay, but once that's gone, a small carpet, no matter what floor, is always preferable.

There are high-quality laminates, durable and easy to maintain. They work perfectly with underfloor heating. However, in places where the underfloor heating is not yet on during the transition period, they can also be quite cold underfoot.

Also slippery when wearing socks.

The negative experience with vinyl should not deter you; there are products here that surely meet your requirements. I just want to point out: the more slip-resistant, the harder they are to clean.
[Stoppersocken] are not a bad thing, are they?
