ᐅ Hiding an Incorrect Screed Height?

Hello everyone,
We currently have a small issue – we forgot to include the tile adhesive in the floor construction plan.
Now, in the hallway, we are about 3mm (0.12 inches) above the planned level.
We are currently planning to use 10mm (0.4 inches) floor tiles.
We could...
1. look for 7-8mm (0.28-0.31 inches) tiles (which are rather rare in large formats, right?).
2. live with the 3mm (0.12 inches) difference (does anyone have experience with this? Is it noticeable visually? How does the transition feel?).
3. sand down the 20sqm (215 sq ft) area by 3mm (0.12 inches).
What would you do?
Good luck
Bernd

How is the transition designed? The tiler can also apply less adhesive at the transition, which is what ours did.

On the upper floor, we have a transition from the bathroom (tile) to the hallway (vinyl glued down without an underlayment), and somehow it was filled in or leveled—now you can’t feel any difference.

For heaven’s sake – what poor workmanship! :o

...no, seriously: 3 mm (0.1 inches) is barely anything.
Which floor covering is considered critical at the transition?
Normally, the transition (door threshold) is leveled over about a meter (3 feet) with some filler, but I think that can be skipped as long as we’re not talking about a centimeter.

3mm (0.12 inches) is really nothing. I don’t see any problem with that at all.
