Hello!
I want to install parquet flooring in the living room and porcelain tiles in the hallway. Porcelain tiles are usually 10mm (0.4 inches) thick. How thick should the parquet be so that both surfaces, together with the required adhesive, are on the same level? I have heard that tiles require much more adhesive—how much more exactly? The floor coverings will be installed on a drywall underfloor heating system, so the surface underneath will be quite smooth.
The parquet will be glued down and consists of planks about 1500–2000mm (59–79 inches) long. The wood-look porcelain tiles are also plank-shaped, with lengths of 700–900mm (28–35 inches).
Thank you,
Paul

If there are greater height differences between the materials, these should be evened out by adjusting the screed.

Our parquet flooring, including the underlay for impact sound insulation, is 18mm (0.7 inches) thick. The tiles are 10mm (0.4 inches) thick. Our tiler slightly raised the tiles towards the parquet; you can only notice it if you know about it. The problem is that in the hallway there are three more rooms, and their floors are also around 11mm (0.4 inches) thick.
