slight step
Hi all,
I have a a quiet big floor to tile on a concrete floor the problem is its 2 rooms that have been knocked through. Problem is where the wall was there is about a 3/4 inch step in floor levels on one side of where the wall was.
The other end of where wall was was is about a 1/4 off level so not much of a problem the wall was about 10 feet long, there is also the trench where the bricks were before the concrete was laid.
Its about 10 feet from the step to some doors that i cannot go too high because of exsisting floors so im going to have to try and ramp it down
I only have a week to complete the whole thing what would people suggest i use to try and level this out? i cant screed it as wont have the time for it to go off or would it?
All i could think off was
1)use rapid set adhesive - expensive
2)slc id have build up in layers and would take a while between each
3)plywood part of it to bring the levels up a bit
any suggestions gratefully received
