Question from a novice if anyone could help please. I am in the process of laying a new slate floor over 18mm ply as recommended. My question is that by raising the floor I will end up with a "step" into the room where I meet the carpet outside. Is this normal and can I buy a carpet retainer to cope with this situation? With 18mm ply and the tiles the new level will be about 7/8 of an inch above the original floor. And if this is normal where can I buy such a retainer as I cant seam to find one on the net. Many thanks.

I'd be inclined to use a piece of oak quadrant so that it's flush with the tiles and curves down to your other floor surface.
hello are you using 2 part flex or single part flex also what is the actual base of your floor is that the 18mm ply or is the 18mm ply on top of the original floor surface. if so what is that surface.
the ply will be on top on the original floor.

12mm will be fine. Screwed down as detailed in the sticky thread.
