Hi there, can anyone offer some advice please????
I'd like to lay Quickstep laminate flooring (the plank type) over an exisitng york stone floor in the kitchen (it's a natural stone in big heavy slabs)
Problem is it's uneven by as much as 7mm in places, I don't mean with regards to the overall level of the room, just from slab to slab due to the shapes and the slopes in the pointing inbetween - if that makes sense.
So my question is, what can I do to ensure the laminate ends up on a
fairly even surface. Initially I was going to lay hardboard down first but the same problem will arise I guess unless I can absorb the difference in depth somehow.
Point to mention, I don't want to use concrete or self leveling compound as I may want the old stone floor back one day.
Now before I'm shot down in flames for covering up York stone, I must explain I do appreciate it's qualities and have really loved having it for the last 10 years but I just want a change.....
Many thanks in anticipation to anyone who can help.........
