[QUOTE="redchair, post: 990267, member: 54104"] Hi all, I've laid some Arditex NA over the kitchen floor area (not under cabinets. The area is 4.5m x 1.8m. The top third of the room is totally level. The remainder of the room has a slope, left to right with a max difference of 7mm in an isolated area and 5mm for average. (1mm-7mm left to right). This area of the floor is flat, bar 2 high spots of 1-2mm (not level, if that makes sense). There are no dips / hollows. Around the entrance, there is an area that extends 200mm from door which is 5mm lower than the rest of the room. There was a sneaky wee hole which I'd missed before pouring and its sucked some the SLC down, despite me trying to plug it. I should say that I have only tomorrow to complete this and get the tiles down, all day, but only one day to tile and grout. These are the options I've thought of. Please feel free to shoot them down. 1. Grind down the left side, lay more SLC at the entrance. (I do have a grinding disc which was used on the original concrete) 2. Grind down the left, make up the difference at the entrance with tile adhesive. I've got Rapid Flex Fibre plus which can be laid unto 12mm in isolated areas. 3. Take the slope on the chin and make ups the low area at the entrance with adhesive. 4. Get to CTD first thing, grab 2 bags of NA and attempt to feather in the floor to match the high spots...risky if the feathering in doesn't work and I end up creating ridges etc. 5. Use a decoupling matt in areas that are low? No idea how daft this may be and whether it would be stupid to lay matting on only a portion of the floor I'd really appreciate if anyone could lend me some advice as to what you guys would do with such limited time? Disappointed as it appears I just wasn't confident enough spreading the compound around ,thinking it would 'self level'. Worth noting the tiles are 200x200 porcelain. Look forward to you responses ,pretty please! Best regards A rubbish tiler. [/QUOTE]
