Hi
This is my first post, so apologies if this is a stupid question, or it is covered in the "Sticky", which I have read.
I have knocked together two rooms, the kitchen and dining room, so the room is abot 28 sq metre.
The kitchen floor is concrete, covered with those 1930's terracotta tiles, the dining room is nearly all original floorboards all screwed down, and now covered with 1/2" exterior grade ply, again all screwed down firmly.
The two floors are all but level with each other now, but I know I need to put down a self levelling compund.
Questions:
Do I need to use a different type of self levelling compound for each type of floor ?
What preparation do I need to do to tile straight onto the terracota tiles ?
Once the floor is prepped and level, do I have to use a different types of tile adhesive for each floor ?
Are there any other considerations I need to take into account when tiling across different types of floor ?
Thanks for your time.
If pictures would help, I can supply them pretty quickly.
Ps. I wish I had found this site, about 6 months ago.
many thanks
Aaron
