Reply to comment by codenoggin in How should I raise the level of the floor on concrete in an enclosed porch? by codenoggin

You could do well to combine two recommendations on the thread.

Put down a layer of duroroc or cement board, which will fill up a good chunk of the height for cheap. Then some self leveling compound for the remainder, which means a safer cheaper single 3/4 inch pour.

Then, instead of laminate, get wood effect tiles. Not much more expensive but totally waterproof

3/4" is pushing the limit of a single pour, depending on the specific product you use. Also, that shit ain't cheap. I'd avoid using self leveler unless the floor is so out of flat/level that you can't address it with the Duroc and a mortar bed
