We are trying to keep the entire house floors flush throughout. The bathrooms are all going to be tiled, and so a tiler has recommended allowing 20mm for this.
Current floor beams are 125x50mm rough sawn, span between sleeper walls is 2.2m. I am keen to avoid having to reduce the sleeper walls, and am thinking of replacing the existing timber with 95x74mm timber, at 400mm centres, and plenty of noggins.
Is this reasonable? This size doesn't appear on any span tables I can find. I would then fit wooden or lead packers to bring it up a little, and even it out.
Any other ideas welcomed, also!
Thank you
