Hi all. use this website but have never posted anything so here is my first go.
I am doing a kitchen floor aprox 9m2 on an existing kitchen. It will have underfloor heating and be tiled. Taken floor up back to expose original floorboards and chipboard repairs sections. The floor is sloping down to 30mm out in corners etc. Another problem being the dishwasher slides under worktop and I have very little to play with the height so need to level floor up and keep as low as possible.:mad2:
My plan was at the highest point start with warmup 6mmm boards and increase depth of boards towards low areas. Then lay cables, screed floor level and tile over.
After a bit of searching and sourcing the following came up. The existing chipboard large area repairs are not moisture resistant. Some flexible products are not happy going over 6mm boards with ufh and advise expansion joints which would look terrible.
My plan at moment is prime all floor with APD, use rapid set flexi and lay warmup boards and screw down. Tape joints where possible. Lay ufh and use Fibrebase to level up over the different thickeness boards. Then use fast flx to lay tiles and finally micromax with gt1 added for grout. I contacted BAL and they were dubious if this would work. I really have not got enough floor level due to under worktop height for the dishwasher removal so trying to keep the screed level down but 6mm boards are still tight.
Anyone got any thoughts or advice would appreciate it
. Need to get job finished asap.
