Hello,
we want to install a vinyl floor over porcelain tiles in the kitchen. Ideally, glued vinyl. The problem is the height difference to the hallway is about 16mm (0.6 inches), which we want to level with the flooring. There is no underfloor heating, and we want a good impact sound and thermal insulation layer. It should be a dry construction, no screed or similar!
Here’s how I arrive at my 16mm (0.6 inches):
Option 1:
OSB 1.2mm (0.05 inches) + self-adhesive impact sound insulation 2mm (0.08 inches) + glued vinyl tiles 2mm (0.08 inches)
Is it okay to lay OSB boards loosely on tiles for impact sound purposes?
Option 2:
Impact sound insulation panels 5mm (0.2 inches) + self-adhesive impact sound insulation 5mm (0.2 inches) + click vinyl tiles 5mm (0.2 inches)
I’m a bit skeptical about layering the impact sound insulation. I definitely want to avoid gaps opening in the joints with click vinyl.
Maybe you have some other ideas?
