I'm sure many of you have seen my kitchen remodel project. I'm about finished and I'm waiting on my cabinets and countertops.
I opened up a wall and expanded my kitchen to into a storage room next to it. Prior to the project, I never noticed the floor sloping but now that it is opened up, the old storage room slopes about 1 1/4 inch from the opening to the back wall. Since I have a month before the cabinets are done, I am going to shore up the space and level the floor using plywood and a self-leveling compound that is made to go over wood. I'm going to cover the entire space with 1/4" plywood, then add 3/4" ply against the far wall, then add 1/2" ply in the middle. Basically it will be a stepped covering that gradually ends up at 1/4". After that, I will cover the entire floor with a self leveling compound and feather into the remaining floor.
My Questions:
I've been watching numerous YouTubes and I have seen guys apply glue or contact cement between the mating boards, others use screws, and other use glue and screws. I'm seeking advice for the best method. The guy was using glue that came in a bucket and it was trowled on.
I'm wondering if I should put any other material between the sheets of plywood to cushion, quiet, insulate, seal, etc... This will be plywood on top of plywood after which I will use Henry Self Leveling Compound for wood.
Thanks
The back wall is 1 1/4" lower than the framed section.
