Vinyl: Only glue on underfloor heating?

The idea behind it is clear. But as already mentioned, it doesn't matter for floors above the slab, since the energy stays inside the house and towards the (insulated) slab, the (to be heated) screed is also insulated again. Visually estimated roughly 100 times more than the theoretical air layer under the click vinyl.

In short: where should the heat go if not into the house?

...

Unfortunately, you did not understand that. If in doubt, the heat doesn't go anywhere but stays in the underfloor heating. Then your house won't get warm. In reality, the proportion of heat passing through your insulation into the slab simply increases. And as mentioned, how relevant that is depends on various factors.

If we now simply assume that the adhesive version for underfloor heating is somewhat more sensible: What other aspects are there that speak for or against one or the other?

The advantages of gluing vinyl are its resistance to water, better impact sound insulation, and greater robustness against expansion problems. The disadvantages are the higher effort required for replacement and the necessary screed increase when tiles are used somewhere on the same floor.

At first, I wanted to disagree - but then I realized that we agree!

Advantage of gluing: In case of damage, a "board" can simply be cut out and replaced. With the click variant, in the worst case, the floor of the entire room must be removed and reinstalled.

We have just had it glued (upstairs, the ground floor was tiled) and are thrilled.

And what causes the price difference when comparing visually and qualitatively similar click and adhesive variants?
