Hope you guys can help.
My kitchen has been extended. Half of the kitchen floor is floor boarded and the other half (the extension) is concrete.
I wasn’t aware of this until I pulled up the cheap laminate flooring that was already laid.
However, I pulled it up so’s I could lay a new solid wood floor called, easiklip. Unfortunately, the floor boards are lower than the concrete! It wasn’t noticeable before because the cheap laminate flooring must have bent to the level of the floor.
The concrete is higher over a distance of 1 metre by 1cm! Sloping over the distance, each side, either side of the slope is level!
The new flooring is 18mm thick and wont give. It acts like a seesaw over the slope! I’ve tried to bring the level of the floor boards up to the level of the concrete by using a 5mm thick underlay but this is still not enough!
Self leveling compound isn’t an option because the kitchen units feet sit directly on the floor boards and on the concrete over the distance of the kitchen. If you get what I mean!
Can I use two layers of the 5mm thick underlay?
I’m sure I’m not the only person to have come across the problem before any ideas on how to get around it. If there is already a thread with the answer, please direct me to it.
Any offers of advice would be greatly appreciated.
