I am renovating my house and the floors throughout the 2 stories are sagging (its an old house so its normal, nothing structurally wrong). In the middle of the house is the kitchen, going from the back of the kitchen to the front of the kitchen, the floor slopes an inch and three quarters! Most of the dip happens within a 5 foot distance right by the back wall.

I need to do something with the floor, either vinyl tile, laminate or vinyl sheets BUT I would like to fix the slope a bit before I put a new floor on it. Here are some ideas:

- Half inch cork underlayment - only will give a half inch but its light weight. Run it until it is almost even with the higher end of the floor and then smooth out the connecting area with self leveling compound

- 1 inch plywood - will give a whole 1 inch, making the floor offset by only 1/2 to 3/4 inch BUT its going to be HEAVY. The area that needs covering is about 12' by 12'. That's a lot of weight, no? Again, use self leveling compound to smooth out the area where the new plywood evens out with the higher original end of the floor.

Both of these will give me a nice hard base for vinyl or laminate.

Are there any other solutions...light weight solutions? Any better ideas? Suggestions? Jacking up the floors or shimming, sistering joints is out the question.

Thanks!

BTW...floor that is there now is vinyl tiles. I plan on leaving them on and doing something over the existing floor. ]]> General Flooring Discussion rafalc http://www.flooringforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1254 http://www.flooringforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1254 Happy Birthday Jon http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/FlooringForum/~3/WD12II10Acs/showthread.php Mon, 06 Feb 2012 10:19:32 GMT Happy Birthday Jon.

There was vinyl flooring in place and was mostly peeled up in places. I removed most of the vinyl, but some of the felt layer of the floor covering still remain.
Should this felt layer be removed 100%?
