uneven floor what would u do?
Hi,
Im doing a kitchen floor around 13sqm at the back door to the other door there is about a 20mm difference.
would you follow the floor or make sure its totally spirt level flush which would mean the tiles would have a 20mm raise at the door?
Cheers
Paul

Re: uneven floor what would u do?
for the best finish you would have to level it paul so that you get a consistant spread of adhesive. webber floor flex is capable of levelling to 50mm.

Re: uneven floor what would u do?
So long as it doesn't impact on anything else in the room, such as the plinths and cupboards, I would level it. There is also the option of having it flat but not level, this is something you need to discuss with your customer. A 20mm deviance over that area would hardly be noticeable anyway.

Re: uneven floor what would u do?
Thanks for the replys,
i ran a laser over it and it was more like 60mm if i levelled it i would need to cut 80mm of the door lol,
i discussed this with the customer and she was happy with laying flat but not level

Re: uneven floor what would u do?
Flat is fine. Levelling can cause all sorts of problems if it isn't rally necessary, especially if skirts are not being removed or there are transitions to other rooms.
