Concreting indoors

[mudski]

Madness. What a lot of stuffing around. Waste of time and money mate.

You need 50mm plus the floating floor or including the floating floor?

Graded Battens straight on top of the tiles. No brainer mate. The sound will be pretty solid as the Battens are straight on the slab rather than spanning.

If your really concerned just 20mm yellow tongue floor over 20mm Battens. Then floating floor. If you want to deaden it more out double thick yellow tongue.

Leave the tiles there mate. Pointless pulling the up. Straight over the top. Go.

I don't think you have read this right Daz. Or I haven't explained myself right. I want to lay a floating timber floor from this entrance and into the rumpus area. As it stands, the tiled area is about 25mm higher than the adjoining rumpus room, which is just concrete. I removed two tiles to inspect whats underneath. Well the tile is really thick, at around 25mm. Then theres another 25mm from under this to the concrete base. So when I remove the tiles the existing base is actually lower than the floor in the rumpus.

So I cant go over the top of the tiles.
