We have got tiled kitchen and other places in the house has got carpet. Though, there is a double radiator but it still feel bit quite cold throughout the day. I think it is the tile making the air in the kitchen cold (that's all I can think with cavity wall insulation) all the time. Laminating with vinyl over the tile will improve warmth in the kitchen? Has anyone had similar situation? Any idea will be much appreciated.

    You would normally lay laminate on top of fibre board underlay, which acts as an insulator, so yes it will be warmer. However it will raise the height of your floor which might affect other things such as doors etc...
