i have a medium sized laundry room with a concrete floor. the floor is sloped. i'd like to level it out and tile before our new washer comes tuesday.
it is sloped quite a bit, it seems like it always has been and has not changed since we bought the house. the left side of the room is maybe 1 1/4 inch below the right side of the room.
my question is should i do this using regular concrete on top of the old concrete or do i have to go with that stupidly expensive self leveling mortar?
i've used concrete before, i can make a level pad out of it and have also used it to set posts.
or should i do both? use concrete to get most of the way level and then use the self leveling to finish it off?
thanks for any help
