Yes. The only floor that was laid by the GU at handover was the one in the bathroom upstairs. About seven square meters. Everything else was in individual contracts on top of the screed: floorboards upstairs, tiles throughout the ground floor, rubber flooring throughout the basement, and recently parquet in the attic. For tiles, the adhesive goes on 2 to 5 mm; in extreme cases, you can compensate up to 8 mm during laying. You can do that as needed. So a tiler—how well you master that, I don’t know. For parquet, usually about 2 mm build-up height remains for the adhesive. Do the math! But again, this assumes a good screed—if the floor layer throws up their hands and needs 6 mm leveling compound for your XXL tiles on the uneven screed, but you only planned 2 mm adhesive plus 8 mm tile for the transition to 8 mm glued vinyl, it’s going to be a problem. In case of doubt, you only see this once the screed is walkable, and then…it’s too late! Therefore, you should definitely communicate your plan to the screed layer; they will know their quality best. And by the way, one millimeter is not a gap allowance when laying screed.Now we are slowly but surely getting to the bottom of this. You didn’t lay the floors yourself and built with a general contractor (GU). I need someone here who has individual contracts and does the floors themselves
