I am also facing the decision between Lindura or parquet, or Lindura or vinyl from Meister. Which home builder would share their experiences here? Floating or glueing?

I have now decided against Lindura and for classic parquet, why?
-Lindura has a beautiful format (2600x320mm!) but I am put off by the bad reviews (also here in the forum)
-Lindura is quite expensive despite the format, I got leftover genuine parquet for 18€/m² more. Here I can sand it down and have the more natural floor thanks to the softwood middle layer and counterbalance
-there are no long-term experiences with Lindura, parquet on the other hand can be used without problems for 20 years and longer

I would install it floating with cork impact sound insulation underneath. With glue, plasticizers etc. evaporate again. Then you might as well get vinyl and don't need to buy real wood flooring for a lot of money.
Therefore, I wouldn’t take vinyl either. Formaldehyde and plasticizers emit here over several years, I did not want that in the house.
If anything, take the Meister design floor. It is based on polyethylene. That is safer or preferably (in my opinion) proper parquet.

There have been no plasticizers in vinyl flooring for a long time. Emissions are also a thing of the past. However, from my own experience, I would advise paying attention to the backing material.

Hmm, I found online Ökotest issues from 2012, 2013, and 2014, in which different vinyls were tested each time. None of the ones tested there were acceptable regarding pollutant levels. Surely, there are better ones here again that are not problematic, but they usually cost >25€/m², for which you can get simple ship-floor parquet or beautiful cork again. Maybe it’s also a question of the comfort factor, but I just wanted a natural floor like stone, wood, or cork in the house.

We installed the Lindura floor. We have been living in the house for almost three months now (total approx. 150 sqm). However, we had major problems with the installation of the floor: In the approximately 1.20m wide hallway, it turned out that the flooring apparently had a material defect, as it did not lie flat on the flat substrate (dry screed). The boards cupped extremely, so that the hallway had real waves. (We installed the floor floating, technically everything was correct). The foreman then delivered another batch of “Lindura.” However, this was apparently from the same batch as the first (at least it was dated the same). Thus, this floor was also defective and unnecessary time was wasted – quite annoying. Only with the third delivery, which was a slightly wider and longer format than the originally selected floor, could we install it. Due to the enormous delays with the floor, we also had to postpone other trades such as kitchen and doors several times, so that in the end the planned move-in date no longer worked out. All in all, still a visually nice floor, but I cannot recommend it unconditionally...

I would also be interested in the experience with vinyl. Smell? Feel? Because of 2 small children and a somewhat limited construction budget, we do not want to install parquet or Lindura. Laminate is planned for the upper floor, gallery, and 2 children's rooms. For the upper floor, living room, bedroom, kitchen, I was thinking of vinyl, not glued down, but installed with a click system. Can anyone report anything?
