Threshold or not, what would you have done?

[r91]

We have leveled the floor joists and now installed underfloor heating. Since the height is the same across the entire ground floor, it is possible to completely avoid thresholds between the rooms (with a bit of tweaking). I'm planning to lay a solid wood floor on top of this.

But, would you do this? Or is it better to have thresholds between the rooms?

For the ventilation in the house, it is usually good to skip the thresholds if one can avoid them instead of other holes in the interior doors.

Drive without thresholds, I had something similar and my partner thought we should have thresholds, in some cases where we wouldn't even have a door. Why? It's usually like that, the only reason is to separate rooms but even if they are different rooms I don't see any reason other than having different flooring in the rooms.

Problems may arise depending on the type of flooring installed with large continuous areas if the threshold is not replaced by another spacer so the floors can move, especially for floors with click joints. So read up on what applies to the floor you are going to lay. I have made my own thresholds but with a smooth top in matching wood species.

Would you be willing to show how you did it with a picture? We are most likely going with 25mm solid furu from Moelven, so I'll check there, thanks for the info.
