Which flooring goes over tiles?

Honestly: remove the tiles and do it properly

Is there by now a good option that can be laid and processed over a tiled floor.

There are several options. Good? Well... - Carpet - Hardwood flooring etc. fully glued down - new tiles - coatings (béton ciré or similar)

not build up so high (patio door)

What exactly does that mean? 5mm or 10cm?

should not cost a fortune.

5€/sqm or 100€/sqm

does anyone have ideas?!

Remove old tiles, install new tiles or hardwood flooring.

Old tiles out, new tiles or parquet in.

we have actually been toying with liquid floor, microcement or leveling compound in concrete / industrial look.

currently the tiles are almost level with the
system of the sliding door to the outside (there is only a few mm clearance)

old tiles out? I thought that would be a perfect base for another covering?!

I thought that would be a perfect subfloor for another covering?!.

You can also easily put other tiles on it – but then you have a 20mm higher build-up again. And potentially a problem with doors / patio doors. And the transition to other rooms. Or the front door.

You asked for a good option that doesn’t bring any restrictions. And that only works with "tiles removed".

we actually considered liquid floor, microcement or smoothing in concrete / industrial look .

So with prices far beyond 100€/sqm. Not bad for "not a fortune" ;) . That would be a job that I – although I do almost everything myself – would rather have done in the living area.

Really? New tiles or parquet are cheaper there? But the material can't be that expensive?! It is just a kind of mass … Can the underfloor heating be preserved if the old tiles are removed?

It always depends on whether with or without own labor. Parquet or tiles with installation will not be cheaper.

Such microcement for DIY is probably around +/- 40-50€/sqm on the internet. You may first have to do some filling (depends on the condition of the floor) or use more material. Then maybe a primer/undercoat, then 2 times applying and smoothing the microcement. Then 2 times final treatment.
That is the basic standard. It takes quite some time (days, since everything always has to dry).
