Hallway, kitchen, bathroom and utility room tiled. Rest vinyl. 19.50 per sqm. 0.3 mm wear layer project floors Limfjord. Glued down. 0.3 mm is more than enough for living areas. Comfort. Both are warm. Softer feeling on vinyl. In the bedroom, in hindsight, I would have preferred to lay a short-pile carpet, that would be even cozier. Parquet, great in the living room, but you simply can’t afford real parquet anymore, laid strip by strip. And I don’t think much of bonded veneer flooring. That is just wood waste pimped up with veneer. Doesn’t last long. Karsten

: I hadn’t even thought about doing the walk-in shower with vinyl until now; I’ll ask the floor installer soon if that’s even possible? I actually planned to have the shower floor tiled with tiles that look as much like the vinyl as possible. In an exhibition, there were floor tiles that really looked like real wood.. there are now amazing options available. We’ll see, I’ll gladly report back here later.

Berny, that is possible, but not with planks. Instead, use roll material, a cove slightly raised on the wall, sealed with PU.

Yes Nordlys, this kind of stuff is glued flat onto the heated screed throughout the whole house from the roll. Of course, I’ve only seen samples so far (about 1 x 1 m). It seemed solid to me. As I said, I’ll ask him later and if that really is suitable as the shower floor (non-slip, abrasion-resistant, resistant to cleaning agents?) that would be great. We don’t want to tile even the 3 walls of the shower, special custom-made glass walls with patterns and colors will be installed there. But I have no say in that anyway, it’s madame’s domain.

Kitchen, bathrooms, utility room, building services, entrance area tiles

Rest parquet, oak strip laid strip by strip. Will certainly need to be sanded when the children have outgrown the roughest phase. Should not be a problem at 8 mm thickness. Parents and parents-in-law are sure that the varnish used to be more durable.

Tiles without underfloor heating are colder, but that does not bother me. I rarely wear shoes at home, but I am quite insensitive in that regard.

I mean exactly because of the slip resistance we didn't do it after all and it was said that the process would be quite fiddly?! But I didn't look into it any further. I also don't like wood-look tiles, for us it will be white + blue on the wall and light gray on the floor, that's fine.
