    I'm starting a house renovation, and have to deal with a levels issue. There's a 50mm drop across the 8m hall/kitchen/diner. (that's 1 in 160). I could try to slope the floor or build an innocent enough step at the new link door (former window) .
    Would such a sloping floor be noticeable visually or display stupid pooling after any wash or spillage? I'm not sure how carefully the builder will or can address this when the cement poring time comes.
    I'd love some opinions!

    is the 50mm drop in the existing floor, then grind at high end and some levelling compound at low end, job done
