Vinyl in floor-level shower

All the points that are important to us, summarized overall, with the result that vinyl simply represents the best compromise for us in the rest of the house.

I would be interested in the points. Vinyl would always be the worst choice for me (ok, except for laminate), directly comparable to carpet. Hence the question.

Important: these are personal points and personal experiences.
Price range up to €60 p/m².

We are a household with 4 animals. 3 cats and 1 Bernese mountain dog mix.
That means a lot of hair and rather more dirt, so daily cleaning is necessary.
Cats that chase each other and can’t make the corner use their claws.

Experience and points regarding parquet:
The sun changes the wood color significantly more than laminate and vinyl. In the price range up to €60, the material and locking system are not that good, so the surface is more sensitive and does not tolerate water and moisture well.
This is the experience we have made and have also had confirmed by the professional floor installer store.

Laminate has similar problems, only the surface is more robust than parquet.

Vinyl in this price range comparatively has the highest quality. Visually, it surprisingly comes close to a parquet floor, and the abrasion class is suitable for commercial use with medium wear.

Vinyl is already quite quiet without extra impact sound insulation and works best in comparison in combination with underfloor heating and cooling. Better than that for underfloor heating and cooling are really only tiles. But tiles always somehow feel colder in the room feeling.

These are our personal points and reasons.
For everyone else, there can be other priorities and opinions, which are also not wrong.
