Hello everyone,
in our case, the screed in the bathrooms was made 1cm lower than in the other rooms.

Today we went to look at tiles and we liked tiles (80x80) that unfortunately are only 6mm thick.
In the other rooms, vinyl will be glued down (2.5mm + adhesive -> approx. 5mm). This means we would have about a 5mm height difference if we assume 6mm tiles + approx. 4mm adhesive(?).

Should we rather look for thicker tiles or can this be compensated so that no big step occurs?

Regards and thanks
Hannes

There are compensation profiles for that - no problem at all.

Hmm, I don't find compensating profiles particularly appealing visually and would like to avoid them.

You put putty on the floor at the doors and thereby create an imperceptible slope on the raw floor. The floor layer does that. Or you leave it: 5 mm is not much!

That means since our tiles are "lower," would the tiles be leveled here? How is this usually done? Is more tile adhesive simply applied in the door area?

I believe they fill it with a leveling compound beforehand. However, I'm not sure. I would still check again if there are similar tiles available in a thicker version.
