Tiling Sloping Internal Concrete Threshold

[DazyD]

Hi folks,

A bit of advice please.

The front door in my hallway has a concrete internal threshold, which is about 1m (W) x 24cm (D) x 3.5cm (H). I bought three 60cm x 30cm x 9mm tiles to cover it. However, when laying down the tiles, I noticed there is a 1cm drop from right to left.

Now I did think about trying to lay tile adhesive on thick at the one end, but have read this isn't ideal and the tiles would probably end up cracking over time.

I've then looked at self levelling compound but if I went down this route, how would I be able to apply it and contain it within the step only and not have it pour over onto the carpet in the hall?

Any advice would be welcome. Thanks.

Yes if you fasten some shuttering or batten down whilst the screed sets

Thanks for this. I wasn't sure if the screed would stick to the wood and would be a problem to remove once it had set.

Thw tile adhesive I used had a maximum thickness around 15mm iirc, some places is probably 20mm and no issue (leveled as I went in the kitchen).
