Self leveling over OSB


Pete

Recommended Posts

When the floor cassettes were installed in my timber frame, some of the sound insulation got trapped between the joists and osb floor and created an uneven floor. I need to level this floor out before I lay my engineered oak floor. This uneven area is only in one corner so should make it relatively easy to flatten. I also  need to overlay the OSB with 9mm plywood to overcome tiling heights in the bathroom and thus propose to take the plywood as far as I can and then use a SLC to level the area which is very uneven. I have some Mapei Primer G but not sure this can be used to prime OSB and I tried to ring Mapei today but they are not answering calls due to Covid. Can I use SBR or does anybody know a good primer for OSB? Once I have primed I will also put some screws into the OSB to give some extra grip for the leveling compound.TIA

Mapei  Eco will prime most timber 

I often straighten timber floors with flexible adhesive Then bed 6 mil cement board on top To give a perfectly flat surface 

Then drive screws in once set
