We are installing COREtec Plus XL in a bedroom that has a seam in the concrete sub floor from where an extension was put in years ago. The newer sub floor is slightly higher than the older part and they had put plaster on it originally to bridge the gap.
Before I started installing the new flooring I put some new plaster on and thought I had gotten enough of an incline that you wouldn't notice once we had the flooring in. However, about halfway through the install I realized that there is a small gap under the flooring, enough that you can feel the floor go down when you step on it. We tried taking the flooring up so that I could go back and put more plaster down but when we tried to take a couple of the pieces apart they broke.
How do I go about fixing this? If I put a lot of weight on it will the flooring conform to the floor so it won't move when you step on it? Or is there something I can slide under the gap to bolster it?
We are going to be renting out the house or selling it within the next few years so we want to make sure the floor doesn't annoy/bother someone else.
