Hello
What is the best way to level a wooden plank floor so that laminate planks can be installed on top?
In one room, it feels like there is a dip in the middle, and in the other rooms, the plank edges are raised.
What can be done to properly prepare the wooden plank floor so that everything is even and level, allowing for the correct installation of the laminate flooring?
Regards,
Maik

The floor does not bounce; I just tested it again. You can only feel it vibrate when you jump.
Now the question is whether you need to use a screed for a tolerance of about 1.4cm (0.55 inches), or if there are other options. I would find using a screed a bit excessive since it also reduces ceiling height.

Ah, do I understand correctly that the filler compound already contains these fibers, so you don’t need to lay in a mesh anymore?
How is it with the filler compound—does it need to have a minimum thickness, or can you just pour it in? Like, for example, if there is a dip in the middle, can you simply pour the compound in there, so to speak?

Hello,
we have an attic. The floor consists of beams with ordinary boards fastened on top (load capacity 200 kg/m² (41 lb/ft²)). The problem is that over approximately 7 m (23 ft) in length there is a slope of 14 cm (5.5 inches). What is the best way to fix this? We were thinking of laying 15 mm (0.6 inch) OSB panels, then a leveling screed, and on top 12–15 mm (0.5–0.6 inch) OSB panels. However, we have never worked with a screed before and wanted to ask for advice or alternative solutions.
Best regards
Ena and Chris

Hello Maiks,
for such minor differences, there is definitely some kind of leveling compound, similar to what is used for tile installations.
Our admin, as a flooring expert, can surely give you better advice than I can. Just send him a private message.
Best regards from the Osnabrück regionYes, that’s what I would have said or suggested as well. It also worked for us in the hallway. But as mentioned before, only for minimal differences... The leveling compound is mixed with water in a bucket. You spread this very fluid compound over the floor. Due to its liquid consistency, the compound evens out the floor. Before that, however, the floor must be treated with a primer...
