Hi All,
I am after some advice. I have a ceramic tiled floor in the kitchen, which has been extended into the garage as part of a conversion by the previous owner, which extends to some 25m2
the wooden floor in the 'old' kitchen is tongue and groove wood that has rotted, and left cracked tiles and holes in the floor.
Ive started ripping out the broken tiles and rotten boards, which seems to have affected approx 1.5m2 Underneath the wood is a clear sheet/moisture barrier adn then polystyrene insulation and then the dpm... which appears undamaged.
The plan is to overlay everything with a new floating laminate flooring, over the existing tiles. (the tiles in the garage section are stuck down really well, and are not coming up anytime soon).
My question is what is the best way of fixing the hole and bringing it up to a level with the tiles, to enable the laminate to be completed. I dont have any spare tiles to fill the hole in.
WOuld something like, new wood to match the level of the remaining wooden floor and then a self leveling compound to raise to the top of the tiles? Probably about 7-8mm.
It doesnt have to look brilliant, just be a sound floor to be covered over.
Any suggestions on the best approach and / or products?
Thanks in advance.
