Here, too, German diversity comes into play in our construction work, because the American does it best &#8220;all in one&#8221;. Our <strong>floors and bathrooms<\/strong>, on the other hand, are creatively planned and deliberately different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can read about how we decided on which materials in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.florida-scout.com\/en\/house-construction-report\/colorsession\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"6777\">color session<\/a>. We deliberately wanted to have <strong>different floor coverings<\/strong> to match the room colors, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.florida-scout.com\/en\/house-construction-report\/wallpaper\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"7113\">wallpaper<\/a> and functions of the rooms. In total, we used five different floor tiles in three different materials: travertine, decor and cork, as well as two wall tiles in marble and decor.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Weeks of tiling are hard on the nerves<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our superbuilder didn&#8217;t just look at the money when choosing a tiler, but also dared to experiment. The craftsman from Bulgaria came to the construction site to ask for work. He was hired without further ado. Together with an assistant, he <strong>spent weeks<\/strong> laying our <strong>tiles<\/strong>. You got the impression that he hadn&#8217;t done it that often before. Apart from a few minor details, we were satisfied with his work.     <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Natural stone travertine as floor tiles in the living area<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div

&#8211; sanded to a silky matt finish and filled. Travertine is a natural stone &#8211; more precisely, a porous freshwater limestone that is precipitated from mineral-rich springs and rivers. Famous deposits are located near Tivoli\/Rome (&#8220;Travertino Romano&#8221;), in Denizli\/Turkey, as well as in Iran, Mexico and in the USA, including Texas. Depending on the origin, the color palette ranges from ivory\/beige to noce\/walnut to silver\/gold, with cloudy or banded patterns.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Travertine is very popular in Florida because the stone is <strong>natural and timeless<\/strong> and remains pleasantly cool underfoot. In its large formats, it is very easy to clean. Each stone is unique &#8211; this makes large surfaces lively without appearing restless and enhances the interior.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Incidentally, travertine is not porcelain stoneware, but a <strong>genuine natural stone<\/strong> with character &#8211; visually warm, durable and suitable for the Florida climate. The natural stone pattern perfectly matches the light from our six sliding doors and looks spacious thanks to the continuous installation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Incidentally, we also had travertine <strong>laid <\/strong>around <strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.florida-scout.com\/en\/house-construction-report\/building-pool\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"7120\">the pool and terrace<\/a> <\/strong>, but in smaller sizes. We wouldn&#8217;t choose the same tiles again because they do become uneven after a while. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wall and floor tiles in bathroom &amp; kitchen<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div

href=\"https:\/\/www.florida-scout.com\/en\/house-construction-report\/ikea-kitchen-builder\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"26553\">kitchens<\/a>, bathrooms and bedrooms, we use wood-effect decorative tiles in various shades. They look warm, but are so robust. The joints are kept very small so that the floor looks even more <strong>like a wooden floor<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The bathrooms follow the usual concept in Florida: <strong>walk-in shower<\/strong> with level access and frameless glass partition. We will deal with the drama surrounding the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.florida-scout.com\/en\/house-construction-report\/plumbing-installation\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"7079\">German toilets<\/a> in a separate article. The high window in the guest bathroom and master bathroom with two additional <a href=\"https:\/\/www.florida-scout.com\/en\/house-construction-report\/window-installation\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"7052\">windows <\/a>brings daylight into the room.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the master bathroom, we opted for <strong>marble tiles<\/strong> for the wall tiling. This is where the tiler&#8217;s amateurishness was particularly evident. First of all, he didn&#8217;t take care to evenly distribute the tiles with very differently nuanced color tones. We had completely dark areas vice versa, so my husband had to laboriously knock some of them out again and replace them. The good man also didn&#8217;t remove the grout haze, which caused me days of scrubbing long after we moved in.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The large-format <strong>decorative panels in the guest bathroom<\/strong> extend out from the shower and give the room a hotel feel; in the shower itself, the smaller pattern on the floor ensures a good stand. The washbasins in both bathrooms echo the look in our kitchen: wide vanity units with granite tops, undermount basins and an almost wall-width mirror that adds light and depth. A powerful, outward-facing fan keeps moisture and mirror fittings under control.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cork flooring for offices<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-fc66b35f\"><style>.kb-gallery-id-26794_f93ce2-42 .kadence-blocks-gallery-item .kb-gal-image-radius, .kb-gallery-id-26794_f93ce2-42 .kb-slide-item .kb-gal-image-radius img{border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;;}.kb-gallery-caption-style-bottom.kb-gallery-id-26794_f93ce2-42 .kadence-blocks-gallery-item .kadence-blocks-gallery-item-inner .kadence-blocks-gallery-item__caption, .kb-gallery-caption-style-bottom-hover.kb-gallery-id-26794_f93ce2-42 .kadence-blocks-gallery-item .kadence-blocks-gallery-item-inner .kadence-blocks-gallery-item__caption{background:linear-gradient(0deg, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8) 0, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 100%);}.kb-gallery-wrap-id-26794_f93ce2-42.wp-block-kadence-advancedgallery{overflow:visible;}.kb-gallery-wrap-id-26794_f93ce2-42.wp-block-kadence-advancedgallery .kt-blocks-carousel{overflow:visible;}<\/style><div class=\"kb-gallery-wrap-id-26794_f93ce2-42 alignnone wp-block-kadence-advancedgallery\"><div class=\"kb-gallery-ul kb-gallery-non-static kb-gallery-type-slider kb-gallery-id-26794_f93ce2-42 kb-gallery-caption-style-bottom kb-gallery-filter-none\" data-image-filter=\"none\" data-lightbox-caption=\"true\"><div class=\"kt-blocks-carousel splide kt-carousel-container-dotstyle-dark kt-carousel-arrowstyle-whiteondark kt-carousel-dotstyle-dark kb-slider-group-arrow kb-slider-arrow-position-center\" data-slider-anim-speed=\"400\" data-slider-scroll=\"1\" data-slider-arrows=\"true\" data-slider-fade=\"true\" data-slider-dots=\"true\" data-slider-type=\"slider\" data-slider-hover-pause=\"false\" data-slider-auto=\"\" data-slider-speed=\"7000\" data-show-pause-button=\"false\"><div class=\"splide__track\"><ul class=\"kt-blocks-carousel-init kb-blocks-slider splide__list\"><li class=\"kb-slide-item kb-gallery-slide-item splide__slide\"><div class=\"kadence-blocks-gallery-item\"><div class=\"kadence-blocks-gallery-item-inner\"><figure class=\"kb-gallery-figure kadence-blocks-gallery-item-has-caption\"><div class=\"kb-gal-image-radius\"><div class=\"kb-gallery-image-contain kadence-blocks-gallery-intrinsic kb-gallery-image-ratio-land32 kb-has-image-ratio-land32\" ><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.florida-scout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Baubericht-Offices-Kork.jpg\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" alt=\"\" data-full-image=\"https:\/\/www.florida-scout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Baubericht-Offices-Kork.jpg\" data-light-image=\"https:\/\/www.florida-scout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Baubericht-Offices-Kork.jpg\" data-id=\"26729\" class=\"wp-image-26729 skip-lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.florida-scout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Baubericht-Offices-Kork.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.florida-scout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Baubericht-Offices-Kork-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.florida-scout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Baubericht-Offices-Kork-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/div><div class=\"kadence-blocks-gallery-item__caption\">Comfortable cork flooring in the offices<\/div><\/div><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/li><li class=\"kb-slide-item kb-gallery-slide-item splide__slide\"><div class=\"kadence-blocks-gallery-item\"><div class=\"kadence-blocks-gallery-item-inner\"><figure class=\"kb-gallery-figure kadence-blocks-gallery-item-has-caption\"><div class=\"kb-gal-image-radius\"><div class=\"kb-gallery-image-contain kadence-blocks-gallery-intrinsic kb-gallery-image-ratio-land32 kb-has-image-ratio-land32\" ><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.florida-scout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Baubericht-Kueche-Aufbau.jpg\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" alt=\"Ikea Korpusse\" data-full-image=\"https:\/\/www.florida-scout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Baubericht-Kueche-Aufbau.jpg\" data-light-image=\"https:\/\/www.florida-scout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Baubericht-Kueche-Aufbau.jpg\" data-id=\"26566\" class=\"wp-image-26566 skip-lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.florida-scout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Baubericht-Kueche-Aufbau.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.florida-scout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Baubericht-Kueche-Aufbau-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.florida-scout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Baubericht-Kueche-Aufbau-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/div><div class=\"kadence-blocks-gallery-item__caption\">The first Ikea carcasses are assembled.<\/div><\/div><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We love <strong>cork<\/strong>.
