I can say something about the topic of cork :-) We have glued cork in the bedrooms and children's rooms (entire upper floor, without bathroom).
For this, we glued cork tiles 4mm thick from KWG in the size 30x60 directly onto the screed. We chose 4 mm because we renovated and the build-up height fit perfectly with the stairs. Although 6mm would have also worked in hindsight.
Even though 4mm is quite thin, the walking feel is great. The floor is pleasantly soft and nicely warm. Additionally, absolutely quiet. You don’t hear anything. Especially in the children's room where there is a lot of running around, I find the floor (for us) perfect. The child lounges on the floor and it is always nicely warm.
We actually oiled the surface according to the manufacturer’s instructions and are satisfied with it so far. Oiling gave a nice rich color tone and it feels great. Important with cork, it will fade over time, which doesn’t bother us right now, especially in the upper rooms.
We have a dog in the family, but he doesn’t live with us permanently (however that sounds :D). I don’t know how the floor would react to constant drooling. But as long as he only sleeps upstairs, I wouldn’t have any concerns with oiled cork.
