Multi room floor leveling

[Wishiwasatoptiler]

Flooring suppliers offer a better range of Dpms and levellers as they’re more commonly used in that trade. It all depends what brands you have available. My first choice would be Ardex, but F Ball, Tremco, Uzin, Mapei etc all do good systems. Just make sure that you stick with one brand for all the products.
As regards to the levels, if you can’t plug and screw reference points then simply Silicon plastic packets in place through the whole floor, set off your laser datum and allow to dry. If the floors really rough a coat of Ardex NA before the DPM would be the first thing to do, then apply your DPM, once dry set your packers and then level up in however many coats are needed.

Thansk Lee for this. Some great info. I tend to use CTD so will check what they have. I like ardex so will see if i can source theirs. It seem a lot of folk glue ref points so will defo be going down that route. Can't believe i never thought to do that before.

Found this one on evay. Says its new but missing the glasses.pic shows it has the target. Do they all come with remote john

 

[John Benton]

They don’t, there’s a choice with or without remote, I chose without when I purchased, it’s easy enough to rotate, remote would be easier on much larger areas

Do you the glassses. Just had a google and the remotes are 70 pounds, not sure they can be an add on

From my understanding one is motorised, one is not. Check before you buy.
I have the motorised one and found it invaluable personally.
Great tools as John says.
I’ve never found the need to wear the glasses.
And you can use them at the same time as laying your slc, scan over your area as you work and it will give an accurate indication of where you are.
The best place to site them is on the highest point of your work area.

That one i doubt is motorised then. Can see the benefit of it been motorised. Cheers

 

[Old Mod]

This is it in action.
One continuous line indicates perfectly level, a split line indicates a rise or fall in the substrate and it’s very accurate.
