Which floors are suitable for single-family homes? What does the home-building elite recommend?

No, this also applies to normal conversations when someone is working in the kitchen. Or when a larger group is sitting at the dining table. The sound bounces off all hard surfaces like ping pong balls. If I were to plan an open space, I should try to better control the larger amounts of sound that occur. When my child is rampaging at my in-laws’ or rummaging through the Lego boxes, our ears really start ringing after a short time. And everyone automatically speaks louder.

And are there furniture pieces in the rooms as well? :D Whether it is parents or in-laws, I haven’t been able to observe your experiences there yet.

At least the topic of acoustic ceiling needs to be considered, and have experience with it

we did it that way too. Hallway, living area and kitchen. 20x180 and 30x180 alternating.

Brilliant format, but unfortunately both the price of the tile and the installation effort increase disproportionately with these sizes.

And there are also furniture in the rooms? :D
Well, whether it's parents or parents-in-law, I have not yet been able to observe your experiences there.

That's exactly what I wonder too. I know quite a few living rooms from private settings with tiles – as well as quite a few rooms with parquet or similar. I've honestly never noticed a difference :D Maybe you need a special ear for that.

Acoustic ceilings etc... Honestly, I only know that from the gastronomy sector, as soon as 40 people are talking at the same time in a restaurant. But I'm miles away from that in a single-family house. But sure, if you care about that, go 4 it!

Definitely! Make sure to clarify in advance. We also included that directly in our contract.

As a guideline: We pay €450 MORE (just the installation costs) for just over 50m² of tiles.
I haven’t taken the material cost into account. Ultimately, the tiles are indeed more expensive than regular 60x60cm tiles... But everyone has to check that themselves with the specialist dealer on site. The additional cost will of course also depend on how much is included in the general contractor’s scope.

yes, that’s how it is. Then you’re quickly at €75/m² + installation.
