Turning into a problem this, I have a customer who wants there kitchen (open plan) to be tiled. This a new extension and the dinning room has been laid with oak floor so the tiles need to meet up to it!
The kitchen has a chipboard floor screwed into floor joists, so this leaves about a 20mm drop from the edge of the oak floor.
The problem is I think the floor will need to be plyed with 18mm to ensure it doesn't flex in the future, the kitchen is about 9m square. So with the tiles on top (600 square porcelain) this brings the kitchen floor a lot higher than the oak floor, there's the problem :mad2:
What would you guys do?
Do you ever get this when doing a quote and you explain that you will need to ply the existing floor and raise it 18mm before you even lay a tile to ensure the tiles stay where you put them?
There is always a problem of either meeting a carpet, or the door won't open due to the height etc.
Help as always is much appreciated :grouphug:
