kitchen floor

[swhite]

Hi there,

Im looking for some advice with tiling the floor in my kitchen. Im using 40x40 ceramics. The problem i have is that its a rectangular kitchen, half being screeded and half floorboards seperated lengthways down the whole kitchen(8m2). The difference in height between the two substrates is litterally just 5mm (sreed is higher than the boards).
I need the area to be as level as possible but also i also dont want the tiles to fail once installed. What can i do to match up the two levels between screed and floorboards?

Thankfull of any advice cheers guys

hello and welcome swhite, i would be looking at what doug suggested in alan ps link, bringing the floor up with self leveling compound and then laying a ditra matt before tiling. another option if it is a little more than 5mm is to lay 6mm hardi boards to bring it level and then use the ditra.

Make sure floorboards are secure and them use 6mm Hardi backerboard. Would be the quickest and easiest way i think.
