I have laid laminate flooring in 2 adjoining rooms but in one of the rooms its a bit spongey in a few places, nothing major but slightly annoying..im thinking of lifting up floor and trying to make more level (i haven’t put skirting on yet so not to difficult to do).
Originally for the first room I used pva primer , wickes self levelling compound and then painted with wickes liquid dpm. Then laid down homebase underlay with built in vapour barrier and laminate and this floor seems fine
but for room 2 i just painted with dpm as was already tiled with old fashioned vinyl floor tiles and looked level and then laid underlay and laminate floor. This floor is a bit spongey in places though and i guess there are some hollows.
My questions are;
If i can get the underlay separated from the dpm (its a bit tacky) could i pva the dpm and use self levelling compound again (wickes website says not, but i have seen other sites that say it can be done, maybe using another brand of compound)?
Other than filling with more underlay, are there any other ways to level the floor ?
Any suggestions much appreciated
