    hi guys
    Quick question
    We have to put some Amtico throughout the ground floor of a house, however the homeowner has knocked the kitchen to lounge wall down. Where the wall was there is timber down, it's level with the slab at both sides. Can you just screed over it all? Or what would you recommend?
    Thanks Aaron

    No spacey forgot to take one before I left! The stud wall was sitting on the timber batten which has been set in the floor then the floor slab has been done up to the height of that timber batten

    Ply the wood parts and span the ply over the concrete about 6 inches or so and glue it to the concrete.
    Screed up to the ply level then a few coats of Feather over the seams

    Before anything test the moisture content of that wood set in concrete, if it’s astronomically high they need to rip out, fix their dpm and crete it.

    Spacey do you think 4mm ply would be ok?
