Hi,
I am building an extension and where the new floor meets the old there is a 50mm height difference. The new floor is Hardcore -->concrete slab-->100mm celotex-->75mm concrete subfloor.
i know i should have poured the subfloor to within a few mm and then used self levelling compound, but i didn't!
A bit of research suggests that a screed would be best, but i know that it won't be something i will be good at!
Would a simple concrete mix work? What is the advantage of a screed?
The floor will be covered in slate tiles once its all done.
Thanks for you help
James
