I'm thinking of using levelling compound across the first and second floor of my home as part of the rebuild project, to encase the wet UFH pipes that we will be running within the egg shell style housing that the pipe fit into. The eye shell type housing will be clipped onto the existing original wooden floors or tongue and groove boards / plywood that is in the rooms. On top of the hardened leveling compound will go underlay and carpet (up to 2 tog). Wet room areas will be tiled.
Other than the levelling compound being a permanent fixture after being installed, has anyone else actually decided to go down this route rather than using plywood as the final structural floor on top of the pipes. The reason for the levelling compound is of course to stop feeling the voids and ripples of the pipes and the need for a structural floor to go on top.
