Hi all,
would love some advice
In my new house we are putting a kitchen into a 30sqm room at the back of the house.
It has 20ml solid wood floor, TG, floated on what looks like a baton frame which is sunk into concrete. Underneath we have wet UFH
We are also knocking through, the knock through room has a subfloor (concrete) that is 20ml higher than the concrete in the new kitchen.
We don't want to keep the real wood. Likely going for porcelain wood effect tiles (10mm)
From reading forums I have come to the conclusion that the wood floor needs to go, too much bother - though my builder thinks we could screw it down, ply then ditra but it makes me very nervous.
If I remove the wood floor in the kitchen I will be left with a concrete base, with this baton frame protruding out by around 10mm.
What substrate should I put in, bearing in mind I need to get the floor up 20mm to match the subfloor in the adjoining room, and also to be conscious of the UFH and also cost (Im running out of cash fast )!
