Takeaways
- 🏠 The issue discussed is a bedroom floor that is higher than the hallway, causing a transition problem.
- 🛠️ The apartment wasn't leveled in one go, which led to the uneven floor levels after furniture was moved in.
- 🔄 A solution involves dividing the room into two parts to address the leveling issue.
- 🚪 The left side of the room, near the closet, was blocked off for the leveling process.
- 🛡️ Self-leveling compound was used for leveling, specifically an M product, which is similar to other brands like U mé, naap plan 2, or mé self Lev plus.
- 📏 An 8 ft straight edge was used to spread the self-leveling compound evenly across the floor.
- 🧩 To create a ramp for a smooth transition, a mixture of plany patch and water was prepared for patching.
- 💧 Water was added to the plany patch in small amounts to ensure proper bonding and consistency.
- 🛠️ Plany patch was used for filling holes in the floor or to improve the adhesion of the self-leveling compound to the floor.
- ⚒️ After the plany patch dries, the edges are ground to ensure a smooth transition with the self-leveling compound.

Q & A
Why is the bedroom floor higher than the hallway in the described situation?
-The bedroom floor is higher because the apartment was leveled in parts rather than in one go, resulting in an uneven floor level when transitioning from the hallway to the bedroom.
What was the initial approach to solving the uneven floor level issue?
-The initial approach was to divide the room into two parts and level each part separately to create a smooth transition without a sudden step.
What material is used for leveling the floor in the video?
-The material used for leveling the floor is a self-leveling compound, specifically M product, which is similar to U mé, naap plan 2 or mé, self Lev plus.
What is the purpose of using a self-leveling compound in this situation?
-The self-leveling compound is used to create a flat and even surface, which is essential for a smooth transition between different floor levels and for the installation of the flooring material.
How does the video suggest creating a ramp to transition between the leveled areas?
-The video suggests using a mixture of plany patch and water to create a ramp. This mixture is spread over the leveled area and, once dry, is ground to blend seamlessly with the self-leveling compound.
What is the role of the roller in the leveling process shown in the video?
-The roller is used to spread the self-leveling compound evenly across the floor, ensuring a smooth and level surface.
Why is it important to measure the height difference with a baseboard in the video?
-Measuring the height difference with a baseboard helps to ensure that the leveling compound is applied correctly and that the final floor level is consistent with the surrounding areas.
What precautions are taken to avoid damage to the existing floor during the leveling process?
-Tape is used to protect the edges of the laminate floor, and a baseboard is placed over the carpet to prevent any damage during the patching and leveling process.
How does the video differentiate between using plany patch for filling holes and for creating ramps?
-For filling holes, plany patch is spread around the floor to fill in the damaged areas. For creating ramps, it is mixed with water and applied in layers to gradually slope the floor level.
What is the final step in the process after applying the plany patch?
-The final step is to let the plany patch dry, then grind the edge between the plany patch and the self-leveling compound to create a smooth transition before installing the floor.
How does the video encourage viewer interaction and address potential questions?
-The video encourages viewer interaction by inviting them to ask questions if they have any, promising to always answer, and looking forward to seeing them in the next video.

To address this, they divided the room into two parts and used a self-leveling compound to create a smooth transition. The process involves using a specific product, M one, which is similar to other brands like U mé, naap plan 2, or self Lev plus, depending on the viewer's location. The self-leveling compound is applied with a roller to ensure an even surface, and after drying, a baseboard is used to measure and patch any imperfections with a compound called plany patch. The video aims to help viewers with a similar situation by providing a step-by-step guide on how to solve the problem.

as well and ramps I do ramps you see
now when I finish uh the planet patch
when it's dry you know I just grind the
ede between plany patch and self leling
compound and then install floor
then I push floor with basebar down I
