    Levelling ground floor [repost]

    Awesome, thank you. That seems to back up a couple things I’d read yesterday, and seems a lot simpler. Should SLC stick to the quarry tiles (with primer) without a mechanical key adding (eg like a plasterers gripcoat equivalent)?

    Levelling ground floor [repost]

    Just to build on this, would I need to put a damp proof layer over the quarry tiles, but under the screed? I just read something about putting epoxy DPM over the top of screed... Should the screed be laid directly onto the tiles, and then put a DPM over the top of the screed before laying...

    Mapei Latex Plus required over SLC?

    Hi, I’m doing tiling for my first time in our bathroom. I had wooden floorboards, which I’ve primed, used tile adhesive and screws with backer board washers at 30cm centres to fix tile insulation/backer boards to cover over, then installed UFH, and covered with 10mm Mapei ultraplan renovation...

    Hardiebacker onto terracotta hollow tile wall

    Of course sorry! Thank you all for the advice, it’s been really helpful! I’ve took the wall out now, so will be removing the rest of the plaster tomorrow, building the new wall and getting the plasterboard on hopefully! Thanks again!

    Hardiebacker onto terracotta hollow tile wall

    Hi so the bath is 1690, but the walls are 1710 apart. So realistically there’s not actually enough room for the bath plus the boards. Have decided I’ll have my first go at buildjng a stud wall as it doesn’t seem too hard, plus I can put in some recesses for shower gels etc anyway. Will simplify...

    Hardiebacker onto terracotta hollow tile wall

    Ok so I could just about fit 2x 12.5mm if I squeeze the bath into place, but assuming dot and dabs will add a cm or two onto this, I can’t fit anything 12.5mm in place, unless I only board down to the top edge of the bath. I assume this is a terrible idea and opens up to water ingress...

    Hardiebacker onto terracotta hollow tile wall

    But would the surface coating that prevents you from skimming onto MR plasterboard also mean that your tiling adhesion isn’t great?

    Hardiebacker onto terracotta hollow tile wall

    Using the MR plasterboard in the wet areas and tanking, would there be a difficulty tiling onto the surface of them because of the coating? Does a tanking system offer a good adhesion surface, or would I also want to use something like Gripcoat to give a mechanically grippy surface? Would I...
