We have someone renovating our 1920s bathroom. Somewhere along the way, he discovered a 2" slope in the floor from the back of the 10' bathroom to the front. He then went ahead and poured self leveling compound (SLC) on the floor to "even things out" so that we can tile the floor and walls. Now there is a
2.5" difference in height between the bathroom floor and the hallway wood flooring. I can't even find reducers that run that high, and any mockups I try to make of a ramp look ridiculous.Is this standard procedure for leveling a floor? I have never seen such a high gap between substrates before. I have to really bend my knee to step down from the bathroom into the hallway. I can't even find pictures of such a high gap online. I am wondering why they chose to level the floor rather than just find a middle ground and work from there. A 1" difference in height I could have handled. Anyone have this happen before? How did you handle it? Thinking of having poured floors removed, which sounds like a major undertaking I am keen on avoiding. This just sticks out like a sore thumb as is. Thanks for any information you can give!
