Floor covering thickness

[WWilts]

Planning floor covering, not decided.

 

Probably laminate click-fit, or porcelain tiles.

Qu: How much depth should be allowed for floor covering, from top of screed to top of floor covering?

If laminate then say 5mm for underlay and 12mm for the laminate/clic etc.

engineered or solid timber, 18/20mm for the timber and a couple of mil for the adhesive.

tiles, say 12mm for the tiles and 5mm for adhesive.

all assuming the screed is flat and level

If tiles you will need 6 mill for matting 

most floor tiles are 12-15 mil So Tge adhesive would be 12-15 mil 

35-40 mil

we've left 30mm for tiles. I think I got that figure from previous posts from @nod and our architects seemed to think it was a good number too. 🙂
