interesting quote

[jay]

had a bo peep at a kitchen and dinning room floor area that customer whants tiling

substate timber tung and grooved floorboards (not a floating floor) solid no creakes or deflect anywere no bounce either

now heres the problem floor is 9metres long by 6 metres wide and sits below the floor in the rest of the house (must of been a porch area at some time i think) customer wants floor finished at same level as rest of house////////

heres the problem on the house side of the floor its 30 mm low in one corner and in the other its 22mm now the other side of the floor is 58mm and the others 25mm

tiles are 10mm thick

so what do you think would be the best way to aproach this one this is just out of interest as to different ways it can be done i have quoted it and to keep things above board have sent answer to a moderator so fire away lets hear them

thanks jay


forgot to add there is a kitchen running along outside wall 4 metres long

Too many choices, is money and time a problem, rip up floorboards and screed it, leave floor down, screw down to make sure of no movement, fix backerboards to required levels, self level Fibreplan or equivalent to required level, hard one to call really but there's a few options.............................maybe.

 

[jay]

not sure on money part alan just after different options thanks

Screw floorboards, overlay cement board and then self level to get to required height for me.

Well knowing how you guys like to mud fix.. then that is my bet.. wet fix up to height..

Am I right in thinking the wood is the higher part mate, and the main floors are lower? (with a 7mm or so slope?)

Hi there Jay, while this seems like a perfect job for mudding the floor to true things up, it's a large area with a lot of weight of material....is that framing stout enough to hold it?

If not, it seems reframing and scabbing the joists are the logical choice.

the floor to be tiled sits lower than the existing floor
