    Hello All,

    I wonder if anyone has any tips about the best way to bring a small bathroom floor with slate over a water based UFH system in screed level with the rest of the flooring in a house.

    The screed has already been laid throughout the groundfloor, and on top of that there will be 2mm underlay and 16mm engineered oak everywhere except the bathroom.

    Any suggestions for the best material to make up a discrepancy of around 10mm are very much appreciated! Not sure if I should be going for something that transfers heat very well or retains it very well.

    The other options are to continue the wooden flooring into the bathroom (which I'm not inclined to do) or to increase the height of the screed (which I'm also not inclined to do unless it really is the only option).

    Many thanks!

    You might get away with doing nothing. We have a similar step down between engineered oak on the landing and stone tile in the bathroom. We have an oak cill with a 45 degree edge taken off it where they meet. Surprisingly it does not seem to be a trip hazard. It might also help keep any water in the bathroom (eg leak/overflowing basin?)

    If you wanto get rid of it I'd speak to BAL adhesives. Their technical people are usually good. Ask what adhesive they recommend for slate over UFH and what they would do about correcting the level.

    Aside: There are thermal conducting underlays for use under the engineered oak. Try.. http://woodyoulike.co.uk
