Hi Eric,

 

I picked up a sample 

 

https://www.bunnings.com.au/floor-select-6mm-2-2m-blackbutt-hybrid-waterproof-flooring_p0135656

 

is there an underlay I can install underneath this flooring to get the level to match existing tiles @ 13mm?

Hello @Lee777 

 

I propose having a look at the BGC Fibre Cement 2440 x 1200 x 7.5mm 2.93sqm Duratex Blueboard and placing it on your floor. Keep in mind that it is ever so slightly higher by .5mm so you'll end up with 13.5mm. There is a lower sheet option at 6mm, but that will make your flooring lower by 1mm. I'll leave the decision up to you.

 

If you need further assistance, please let me know.

 

Eric
