Self Leveling On Ply Floor
OK,
I am in a situation where I am scratching the noggen. I have an old house with a dip in the subfloor. It is in an area of about 1/2 sheet of plywood. The h.o. does not want to tear up the entire floor to rectify the problem. I am hesitant to tile on this floor for future problems. I am planning on using ditra and a modified thinset for flex. I would like to know if there is something that will level this dip and hold up over time. I am a bit concerned   .Suggestions? run? jog? skip to my lou? Thanks |

Re: Self Leveling On Ply Floor
You don't want to install ceramic tile over any gypsum floor patch.

Re: Self Leveling On Ply Floor
Two coats of primer, wire lathe, and your good to go with SLC....IF the substrate it up to spec deflection wise. That's the place to start FIRST.
