Finally getting around to levelling our dining room floor which I thought some self levelling would sort. Think i'm just on the cusp of what self levelling can handle (50mm).
In process of establishing finished floor levels to level to, i've found that the dining room joins into two other areas where the finished floor levels are different. Dining room has 3 entry doors in total, 1 to outside (original), 1 to kitchen (relatively new extension) and 1 to hallway (original victorian tiled).
The hallway door threshold floor is 20mm higher than the other two. I obviously can't level to this as I'd have a 20mm step down into finished tiled kitchen floor. Taking the floor down 20mm at the hallway sounds like a right pain - assuming not even a grinding job (old concrete floor, not to modern standards but still would have to dig section out to bring down 20mm). That's not to mention i'd have a 20mm step up to hallway - not sure how I could bridge this. Maybe tiles on top would go someway to address this and door bar.
Anyway, right pigs ear, even a complete redo I'd imagine i'd still have the issues of matching up across two different finished floor levels. Hallway can't be raised as it joins onto all other rooms and they're all level (enough).
Any ideas for how to arrive at some sort of solution?
Many thanks
