I want to tile the floor in my conservatory.
It was built 5 years ago and had a concrete base with expanded polystyrene insulation foam laid on it and then 18mm flooring grade T+G chipboard on top.
The foam went soft in places and the floor had dips in it as a result.
I have removed the chipboard and insulation and am now down to the bare concrete.
I need to make up the floor height by 55mm to match the existing floor level in the adjoining room ready for ceramic tiling.
Question is, how to make up that 55mm?
1. pour concrete in to a depth of 55mm (if it can be done without it cracking as normally concrete is laid at 100mm+)
2. fit joists on top of the concrete and board over the top
3. any other suggestions please?
Thanks.
