First off, thank you to everyone that posts on this forum, although this is only my second post, the advice I have picked up from reading others has been invaluable.
On to my error. I have discovered rather late in the build process that my floor is not perfectly level, I did check it but clearly didn’t realise that not perfect equates to about 10mm out over 2m. The big problem is that the high end is where I have placed my drain. My floor is built up of 20mm tiler backer board (expanded core) with a 1200 wedgeboard dropping to a linear drain. The fall on the wedgeboard should be 12mm over the length, but due to the floor being out is only 4mm.
Pulling the floor up is not a possibility as I have already boarded out the entire room and glued down the drain etc. The only way I can think to correct this is to SLC the floor to the start of the wedgeboard and then create the correct fall from the SLC to the drain using something like tile adhesive.
Is this the correct approach, and is tile adhesive the correct thing to use?
If so, should I tank (Ardex WPC), SLC and create fall, lay Vario Pro/heating cable (already bought) and tile. Or I could tank after SLC?
Or
Vario Pro/heating cable, SLC and create fall, tank and tile?
Or a completely different method?!
Any advice would be much appreciated.
