Hello everyone.
We have bought an old mining house and are now trying to turn it into our oasis of well-being through a complete renovation. This is relatively advanced and we are almost at the floor level. Unfortunately, old houses have the problem that the floors, walls, and everything are relatively uneven. The masons must have drunk more than they worked there.
Now to my problem. We want to lay underfloor heating everywhere. For this, we have torn out the old wooden floor that was on a concrete slab (structurally definitely sufficient and checked by a structural engineer). All partition walls are standing and the toilet is clad. Unfortunately, the floor sags about 6-7 cm in the middle. I would like to level this with a dry fill (Knauf Perlite). Then lay the tack boards for underfloor heating on top and then underfloor heating and screed on top of that.
Now my question is whether this actually works. Level with the Perlite and then insulation boards + underfloor heating + screed on top. I don't see a problem with that now. Just don't want any nasty surprises in the end.
Thank you very much in advance for your help.
