Hello everyone,
we are a bit uncertain about our new floor and hope to get some professional opinions here.
In our newly constructed extension, we had a plain-colored linoleum floor installed. The dry screed (Fermacell Powerpanel 1000x1250mm + dry screed material) was laid by another company, but it was not perfectly level; instead, there are rises towards the corners of about 2-5mm (0.08-0.2 inches).
The floor installer inspected it beforehand and said this could be easily leveled.
The high spots were knocked down, a leveling compound was poured and smoothed. We were instructed not to walk on the floor for one day (which we adhered to). Then the linoleum was installed.
Now, especially near the wall connections, there are waves in the floor and also noticeable small height variations across the surface.
I brought this to the attention of the floor installer, who came back and checked the floor with a 1m (3.3 ft) spirit level and feeler gauges.
He then referred to the DIN 18202 standard and said everything was within the tolerance of 4mm (0.16 inches) per 1m (3.3 ft).
Attached are some pictures.
Is this work professionally done and acceptable, or not?
