    Hi guys hope all is well!

    I've come across a situation I've not been in before - been asked to quote a commercial lvt job...the subfloor is currently metal (I believe aluminium) floor tiles screwed down across the floor. Attached a photo of how it looks.

    What would be the best way to level it? Original thoughts were to use Jumpax, but due to the cost of it, I am now thinking is there any latex which would sit right on a metal floor? Can't seem to find any info online.. Any help is much appreciated...

    You need to check there is no movement in the floor.
    Then 6mm ply, coil nailed or screwed. We normally use F3 also on raised access.
    I think F-Ball do a prime & fill that they said could be used over raised access, but ive never used it, and not sure I would trust it.
    Is it a big area, and have they run there cables ?

    I’ve used the fill and prime and it’s great. Saves loads of time and humping sheets of ply upstairs.

    So fill & prime, then what did you use over the top ?

    I used 1200. Think you can use 700 as well but the rep gave me the options. Obviously 1200 is cheaper and it goes down well
