We are trying to fit a ramp/threshold between our living room floor and our sliding door track.
We bought a 3m long wooden ramp long and 20mm thick and 169mm wide. Unfortunately our floor (because of the screed) is not completely level in the middle of the sliding door so when I put the ramp down there is a small gap of 5mm at most between the floor and the ramp.
What would be the best way make our ramp steady when stepped on so it doesn’t sink when we step on it.
I believe we have 2 options:
- either add something between the ramp and the floor only in places where it’s at the lowest point to make the ramp sit on something that is level (seems like the better idea but not sure what I would use to do this) then silicon between the floor and the ramp to hide that slight level difference
- or somehow make the ramp pressed down on the floor to follow the un level floor (seems like a bad idea to me)
Some context:
We have a screed and then an underlay and finally laminate flooring on top. We don’t want to have to undo the laminate to try to level the screed and then add back the flooring as it’s a click laminate and would be too difficult to do now.
Any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much
