Diy project!! suggestions or best practise, to level out a floor with a 30mm run over 3m, prior to tiling?
Question:" L" shaped room, was once a cupboard,to be a bathroom. the
run is from cape to corner
Answers:
30 mm is to thick for self levelors they are not for more than 3/4 of in inch thick.If you decide to use it anyways the floor must be sealed first or it won't bond and your floor will sound hollow.I would recomend floating with acrylic mortar or doing mud work with a slightly wet dry pack.3 parts sand one part cement.Good luck
depending on thickness of tile u could put your cut off tiles down first until its level or you could put some levelling compound down.
You want to get level qwick you mix it very loose and pour it on the floor and it will flow itself out to natural level when it dries it becomes rock hard find it in the flooring dept in any DIY type store Home depot or Lowes
I would use levelling compound to bring it level. You could level it to within 10mmof level then use tile adhesie to do the rest but that is more expensive
Levelling compound will do it...30mm, that's quite a lot. Can you not make use of this run-down to direct the water to a drain for example?
Self-leveling compound won't do it. You need a regular "mud job." Set in place guides, at the desired height (making sure to allow for the thickness of the tiles) around the perimeter of the room, lay a bed of construction sand and pour new concrete over the bed to meet the top of the guides.
