Hi guys im back. I have decided to lay wooden floor in my garage conversion. The previous owner had converted the garage into a new room but did not level the old concrete floor. To get a good finish on my to be new wooden floor i new it had to be levelled.
I would say that the garage floor at the lower end was about 35mm lower than the top end. After visiting a few forums i set about laying a water based leveller obtained from wicks. I laid it in four batches at individual layer depths of roughly 5mm over a period of 6 days.
All seemed fine but after 6 few days i have noticed some hairline cracks appearing. I have gauged out some of these to remove loose fragements. Now i am noticing some more fine cracks appearing and at this stage am not sure how to proceed.
Should a few cracks be acceptable and therefore safe for me to proceed or do i need to dig it all back out and start from scratcvh with an alternate
aggregate? Im hoping that their is middle solution but knowing my luck....?
Let me know what you think guys. The new floor i will be laying is 120mm solid out tongue and groove. thanks....
