In my kitchen there are currently quarry tiles on the floor. We are intending on overlaying these with some approx 40 x 40 travertine.
The floor is pretty flat all over except for one area when you walk in that's approx. 2m x 0.75m. This area is higher than the rest of the floor in some places and lower in others.
My initial idea was to rip this uneven section up and use SLC. But was concerned about a) how long it will take the SLC to dry before I can lay tiles on top??? B) the depth I can make up with SLC. We are looking to tile the floor with travertine next week.
Do I have another options after ripping the offending tiles up? E.g coul I make the gap up with ply/backerboard/adhesive instead of SLC?
Or any other options?
What I don't want to do is rip up all the quarry tiles.
Thanks for reading, hope you can help.
