We have an open-plan kitchen in our future house. The living area will have solid hardwood flooring. At the wood store, the salesperson mentioned that it is also possible to install hardwood flooring in the kitchen without any issues, which would definitely look much better than a separate tiled area. Who has had hardwood flooring in their kitchen for a longer time and can share their experience?

10mm parquet thickness or total construction height? Engineered wood flooring starts at 10mm. Plus adhesive, so the total build-up is thicker.
Why not more than 10mm?
By the way, the dog doesn’t care about the parquet.
As long as the wood is reasonably hard, the dog won’t mind the flooring either (I recently had oiled oak with a Bernese mountain dog – no problems). The total build-up is 15cm (6 inches).
We are getting:
60mm (2.4 inches) Thermorapid Classic screed
20-2mm (0.8–0.08 inches) impact sound insulation board WLG 045
Cement-bonded leveling screed for pipe channels
60mm (2.4 inches) EPS100 thermal insulation boards
That leaves 10mm (0.4 inches) for the surface layer, right?
I would prefer a light oiled oak, but as a plank, not glued down.

For example, with 10mm (0.4 inches), tiles are also out of the question. Will you then use thin carpet in the kitchen, or will you wallpaper the floor?

Choose whatever you prefer and forget about planning down to the millimeter. After all, this is a house, not high-tech manufacturing. Craftsmen are usually not familiar with measurements in millimeters. However, the transitions between different floor coverings should be discussed (e.g., 12mm (0.5 inch) tiles plus adhesive next to 3mm (0.1 inch) vinyl).

I will discuss it again with the construction company. From what I understand, it is related to the CAD design of the wooden house.
Regarding the topic of parquet flooring in the kitchen: Is there any reason not to use engineered parquet with click installation?

Regarding parquet flooring in the kitchen: Is there any reason not to use engineered wood flooring (click system)?No. I have it as well, and it’s easy to maintain (oiled and fully glued down).Similar topics
