Adsibob Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 We are having a poured floor in our kitchen which will add 3.5mm to our screed. It’s too expensive to do in the utility room that is off the kitchen, so was going to tile there. The tiles I like are 8.5mm thick. So I will have a discrepancy of 5mm plus whatever thickness tile adhesive I need for an 8.5mm tile. This is going to be a trip hazard isn’t it? Suggestions? Haven’t poured our slab, let alone the screed yet, so still time to do something about it. Rather not change kitchen FFL though. Is it just a case of dropping the slab by 10mm or so under the utility room? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvin Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Best choice is in your hands.? Impressed with your forward thinking! Yes the level of the finished screed 10mm lower than the finished kitchen floor should do it. Just make sure the screed where it meets the kitchen floor is right. Cannot comment as to whether you could reduce slab or screed thickness. Too many variables. Good luck Marvin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Temp Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 We have a similar step between bathroom and landing. It has a wood strip with bevel edge. Never been a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
