self leveling

[crazysteve123]

Hi, i have been to view a kitchen floor which requires tiling the problem is that the kitchen has just been extended and where the wall used to be the concrete is very rough and there is about an 3-4 mm lift also to floor slopes down etc i have suggesting it might need leveling because i dont think i can make up the differents with the adeshive also i use paper templates for my cuts and i was wondering if there was anything better on the market to use..thank you

It may be easier if you can chop down the bits of wall first with a Kango oran SDS drill with chisel. This would reduce tha mount of laveling you may have to do. You haven't indicated the size of the area to be tiled so it is a little hard to advise.

If the area is small, it may well be quicker just to lay levelling compund up to the height of the lumpiest bits. I personally don't find levelling straight forward as it requires some practice to get a good finish.

As for the cuts, are you talking about round the kitchen unit bases and the like? I don't use template, I normally just mark straight onto the tile and cut with the wet cutter as necessary.

Hi, thanks for the reply, the floor is 16m2, maybe if i chisel out where the wall was i could get away with making the differents with ady, i use paper templates the size of the tile if i need to cut round doors etc just wanted to know of a better way cheers...

i agree with grumpy here i think you would be better chopping out the high spots then levelling the floor lots of arguement about what is the best levelling compund water baesd imo is the best self leveller i have tried many and weber nivdur s is good and nivdur plus dont go near wickes it doesnt build more than 2mm with out cracking
