Hello all,
right, I've a floor to do. A pretty old house, concrete floor, not level or flat. I've explained that as the fitters put the units in and left me with only 6mm to play with when I needed 55mm to bring it up to level I can try to get the floor flat but not level. Meaning I can bring the dips up to a point where the high points and lowest point line up. (not making sence am I?). Anyway, as the floor spans out from the doorway (highpoint) the floor kind of fans out away from the highpoint, down n dips n alsorts really.
Any tips on how to get this looking unnoticable? Highpoint in centre and to either side I cant bring the levels up due to units and bathroom floor, backdoor and some other resrictions.
Also, out of interest, what would you use to make flat an uneven enlevel floor, obviously slc is out of question.

Cheers.
Thanks in advance.
