Lvt is great for kitchens as it is waterproof.  Brampton chase and quickstep to name a few. Come in click or glue down. 👍

For a kitchen with heating and cable pipes underneath, best to go for a durable and water-resistant flooring like ceramic or porcelain. They can handle the heat and won't get damaged by any potential leaks. Plus, they're easy to clean, which is a bonus in the kitchen!

Conductive floor coverings like stone, tile or polished concrete work best with underfloor heating as they transfer heat so effectively.

Vynil. Still not great to take up if you need to but easier than laminate

Depends on the period of the property either are relatively simple if they are floating click floors . stuck down Solid boards and engineered are a little trickier. Engineered or laminate are fairly stable with the heat from pipes and would be the better option than solid

Dawid · Answer

I Can recommend engineered oak, good form of insulation if you glue it down then will keep warm for long. You can sand it down after few years and change colour of finish. If your subfloor is concrete, damp proof membrane is required.
