I would like to level an old cement basement floor that is sloped about 3″ over 25′. I have a local mix-on-site cement supplier who uses 1/2″ aggragate. I am wondering if I would be creating a durable trouble free floor if I:

 1)cleaned the old floor well;

 2)applied a bonding agent to the old cement;

 3) poured 4000psi mix with fiber admix. with a minimum thickness of 1″ over the old floor and finish as any other slab.

 Do I need wire mesh as well? Is this going to crack and flake off?

Your input would be greatly appreciated!
