Hello everyone,
in our bathrooms, the screed was installed 1 cm (0.4 inches) lower than in the other rooms.
Today we looked at tiles and found some 80x80 cm (31.5x31.5 inches) tiles we like, but unfortunately, they are only 6 mm (0.24 inches) thick.
In the other rooms, vinyl flooring will be glued down (2.5 mm (0.1 inches) plus adhesive—about 5 mm (0.2 inches) total). This means there would be approximately a 5 mm (0.2 inches) height difference if we assume the 6 mm (0.24 inches) tiles plus around 4 mm (0.16 inches) of adhesive.
Should we look for thicker tiles, or can this height difference be balanced out to avoid a noticeable step?
Best regards and thanks,
Hannes

So, since the tiles in our house are set "lower," would the tiles here be leveled to match? How is this usually done? Do they just apply more tile adhesive around the door areas?Yes, with a 5mm (0.2 inch) difference, this can easily be done that way. Even better to prepare the area first with a leveling compound.
