Tile planning single-family house - slip resistance/strength/quality

We don’t. Everyone says tiles are supposed to be cold. That’s not the case for us :) The transitional period, yes. But not in sunny weather: then the tiles warm up through the windows and retain the heat quite well.

Now I don’t know your house, but I think the sun won’t reach every tile in your place and it doesn’t shine all year round. But whatever, I am absolutely pro tiles. We have them throughout the entire ground floor, too. And personally, I don’t find that cold at all. I just keep thinking about a conversation with some neighbors from newly built areas back in December. All the clichés were fulfilled there. One neighbor started by saying that despite underfloor heating, she had cold feet, almost all the wives agreed, and the men rolled their eyes. I had to laugh quite a bit.

... because it was the answer to your statement: [ATTACH alt="C029232E-9FB7-40A7-BA71-5A569208B465.jpeg"]58304[/ATTACH] It’s not about wood, but about tiles that are resistant due to their color – tiles in wood look.

Yes, I know what you mean... However, for me the question does not arise (just because I have the option of laying the same covering or the same tile everywhere using uniform material).

Somewhere, for me, there is also a price limit :D When I see what tiles in wood look cost compared to a plain normal gray tile, it really makes you dizzy :D

And as I said – I personally don’t find the transition of the floor covering from one room to the next (separated by a door) bad at all :)

I even think that a nice gray covering in the hallway can look significantly better (also in contrast to the wooden staircase) than tiles in wood look.

Now, I don't know your house, but I think the sun won't reach every tile at your place, and the sun doesn't shine all year round. But anyway, I'm absolutely pro tiles. We have them throughout the entire ground floor as well. And personally, I don't find it cold either. I just keep remembering a conversation among neighbors in the new housing developments from December. All the clichés were fulfilled there. One neighbor started by saying she had cold feet despite underfloor heating, almost all the wives agreed, and the men rolled their eyes. Had to laugh quite a bit.

I'm really curious to see how satisfied we will be with it. However, even now, we are 100% pro tile in advance – I also hope that this will prove to be true :D

What do you say about the calibrated edge? We have it everywhere except in the hallway - does that make sense? What do you have?

I think larger gaps in the hallway are not so bad, so the calibrated edge is not necessarily that important. However, in the living area, I find fewer gaps definitely nicer.

Are there any differences in the installation here? More expensive/cheaper with the general contractor?

Calibrated or rectified? Look it up again, many confuse this. However, manufacturers sometimes use the terms very confusingly.

Actually, calibrated means an edge not cut at 90 degrees and rectified is the process where tile edges are cut exactly at 90 degrees.

Hope I have conveyed this correctly now, otherwise feel free to correct me.

If in doubt, ask the specialist retailer again about the characteristics of the individual tile. Personally, I only like narrow straight grout lines. Maybe an exception with natural stone. But that is my personal taste.

For the tiler, non-rectified tiles are easier because the grout lines become larger and more uneven. This makes it more forgiving. For some, this makes a price difference.

I even think that a nicer gray covering in the hallway can look significantly better (also in contrast to the wooden staircase) than tiles in wood look.

I agree with you: a nice contrast always works well :)
