Hi all,
I am considering laying LVT throughout the ground floor of my house. Approx 75sq ms. Plumber has just finished filling in the numerous trenches dug in the course of replumbing much of my home. He commented that there seemed to be various levels from room to room and the hall. From removing kitchen and bathroom tiles I was aware that I likely needed some self levelling to make a smooth surface (and level) these areas due to residue from tiles etc. The filled in trenches are also a little "rough" in places and where I installed new french doors (replacing windows) is also a little rough. Not sure how much the variation is within rooms and between rooms. Have done some self levelling before but nothing on this scale. Seeking some advice on how to go about this..... how to find the highest point and lowest point (I presume) and work out exactly what I need..... beginning to wonder if self levelling might not be the best option? Someone local recommended to me this product - Mapei Ultraplan 3240 Self levelling compound from Screwfix as it does go upto 40mm - Also how much roughness of ground will the LVT (built in underlay) cope with? Time is important but obviously also cost....... I could hire a concrete floor sander to get rid of some of the roughness in the bathroom kitchen?
