I want to lay a tile border (80cm for appliances + easy clean, robust edge) & parquet centre in my kitchen. Both requires a even floor, preferably level.
The existing floor is an uneven mix of badly damaged tiles, with some parts plain concrete (former chimney breast).
From what I've read there are three options:
- remove tiles. Make it even with self levelling compound, if it isn't by itself.
- don't bother removing the tiles, make it even with self levelling compound on top of them.
- apply a tile membrane to adhere it to the tile, and then tile/parquet on top of that. Not sure that can be done for the wood part.
Any other options I've missed?
Any no-no's?
What sort of adhesive to use?
