    Question Floor Tiling - Fall of 1cm over 3 metres

    Hi all,

    I am about to undertake my first ceramic floor tiling project and have noticed that the concret slab has a 1cm fall over 3 metres.

    The slab in itself is smooth, so I was just wondering whether I should level the slab? (seems like a lot of effort)

    Or should I just tile the slope as its not noticeable to the human eye?

    Thanks

    lol..thanks Mick. I guess just a little extra adhesive in some places will do the job!

    In what room/location?

    If its a wet area then it would be ideal to have the fall to a floor drain or door opening.

    I may be weird, but I'm saving up to become eccentric.
