I'm in the process of installing continuous parquet flooring in the apartment. Soon it will be time for the final stage, which includes the hallway and the living room. What makes me a bit uncertain is how to handle the bathroom threshold in the best way.
Currently, there's only a metal threshold and the floors are on the same level. When the parquet is in place, the floor will be significantly lower in the bathroom.
My idea is to first glue a narrower strip directly onto the wet room mat. I want this strip to be at the same level as the parquet floor (about 14mm). Once the parquet is in place, I'll attach the threshold plate so that it lies on both the parquet floor and the glued strip.
I've never done anything like this before and have searched a lot on different forums without success. How would you do it? What should one consider, any special glue for wet room mats or is it enough to attach with silicone?
Are you going to install an oak threshold? If so, I would have placed an oak strip under the lower part and then laid the threshold plate. Silicone against the plastic mat and wood glue against the threshold. How does it go with the door at the bottom?
I will make everything in oak, both the strip against the wet room floor and the threshold plate.
Is it enough to attach a smaller strip with silicone, then glue the threshold plate to it and the parquet floor?
I would prefer not to screw if I can avoid it as it's a concrete floor.
I will need to cut the door at the bottom, but that's no problem as I plan to repaint all the doors at the same time.
I have personally glued a corner strip in oak against clinker, it holds well. I would probably have skipped gluing the threshold against the parquet. It's good if you can lay the threshold against/over the parquet, so if it starts to move, the threshold and strip are floating.
