Which flooring is suitable in new construction with underfloor heating?

but you shouldn’t run it for longer than two to three weeks

How long you run it depends on the outside temperature and the occupants. It hasn’t run as long as it did this year in the last 14 years. Minimum 10 weeks straight.

When summer is in sight and, for example, >30 degrees is forecasted in 3 days, you can slowly start the machine and set it to 20 degrees… later then 19… 18….
Flow rates remain unchanged except for the bathroom, which I reduce to 50% there.
This is how we get through summer well in our timber frame hut…

When summer is in sight and, for example, >30 degrees is forecast in 3 days, you can already slowly start up the machine and set it to 20 degrees… later then 19…18….

Doesn't the temperature control happen automatically for you?

That way we get through the summer well in our timber frame hut…

Do you manually turn the flow rate down and set it higher again for the heating period?

But what about underfloor cooling?

:)

We don’t have underfloor cooling yet, I postponed it to a potential retrofit so we don’t use up the buffer before the sampling.

Can it be retrofitted? I didn’t know that.

and have a humidity and temperature sensor installed.

It irritates me again that you have to install devices just to have control that "nothing happens." One device controls another device, which is actually not necessary. Somehow like that ;)

Tiles that look like tiles

What do tiles look like? “Tile” is just a term for “slab.” For example, there are carpet tiles too. The porcelain stuff and other things that you consider tiles come in most and very diverse designs. Whether light or dark, mottled or solid-colored, colorful or monochrome, smooth or rough, textured or flat… any surface can be a tile. Sandstone, concrete, clinker, slate, wood, natural stone in all colors… I can’t understand the argument “we don’t like tile look.” For me it is the first choice to live carefree* in the house with a stylish floor that doesn’t look uniform like other new builds with wooden floors, since you can still play with the installation… and then with a nice carpet under the sofa. That looks classy. Tile in sandstone or slate look looks much classier than wood. However yes: I wouldn’t want tiles in bedrooms either. *When it is written here that one’s own parquet floor “has withstood a lot so far,” I assume one still takes care of it and that would be annoying for me, to always have to pay attention. You just don’t have that with “tiles.” But everyone has to decide for themselves.

Can they be retrofitted? I didn't know that.

According to the installer, with us (brine-water heat pump) this requires an additional heat exchanger (then it runs without compressor) and he has to rewire a few hoses to 3-way valves. The whole thing is then set according to the dew point table without sensors. With air-water heat pumps it can look different, I am not familiar with that. Tiles with tile appearance means exactly that. Porcelain stoneware, visible grout. Of course, you can also take the narrow tiles in wood look and have them laid with minimal grout, but then you are also above 100€. That's just too expensive for me for a wood imitation, you can get the original for that. And with us the trend is already clearly towards wood look.

To keep this out of the Flair thread For us the decision was made yesterday, it will be parquet. At the promotional price of €70, there were still 75 sqm left, so the price difference to vinyl is still significant but no longer extreme. That won’t quite be enough, we need about 20-25 sqm more including waste, but it was indicated that the promotion will continue at a somewhat higher price. We now have Kährs Oak Decorum, which is quite rustic.

Cool, do you have a photo?
What was your final decision based on, I mean, what were the deciding factors?
