Hopefully someone can help?....
Floor area = 3mx4m
I've discovered that the concrete floor is very uneven. I've put a straight edge from one end to the other and it would appear that the middle dips down 2cm . I want to lay new laminate ontop but am worried that the difference in height will cause problems. I'd thought about Self levelling compound but i believe 3mm is the max thickness per layer...so thats a lot of SLC. So i'm now toying with the idea of mixing up a few bags of sand/cement mix and trying to level with a straight edge.
I'd welcome any thoughts/suggestions. I'm not after a perfect finish just something less wonky that i can lay laminate over.
If I go for sand/cement can i add slightly more water to make it more spreadable? Or will this cause shrinkage problems?
Thanks in advance.
