    Laitence removal, sanding

    That will work but you might want to consider dust extraction and ask them to supply diamond cups for that STR because sanding pads wont be sufficient (in my opinion) 180sm should be 2 days work (ish) good luck

    4 Year Old Gyvlon (anhydrite) preparation advice

    Why the need for such an arrogant response? I know you are a very well respected member from the screed industry and I wasn't trying to pick a fight! I was saying that this was my personal method of laitance removal from liquid screeds. I have invested a lot of money in sanding equipment...

    4 Year Old Gyvlon (anhydrite) preparation advice

    If you removed 1mm of laitance, you would be down to aggregate There is a lot of conflicting advice as to how much laitance to remove but personally I take off enough to expose the aggregate then prime with a good quality primer sticking a anti crack mat down with a gypsum based adhesive then...

    Underfloor heating/issue with builder

    I suppose as installers we don't get to see how well the joins have been crimped in the factory. The 2 joins on the mat have shrinkwrap on them and are a form of insulation anyway so what I struggle to understand is how masking tape can be enough of an insulation to stop the excessive heat...

    Underfloor heating/issue with builder

    Hi All Just an update to this situation- I reluctantly decided to pay this, although I still find it hard to believe that masking tape stuck over a join can cause enough heat to burn it out! however the instructions say not to cover the joins so I accept this is an installation error. I also...

    Underfloor heating/issue with builder

    I honestly believe that by putting some masking tape over a join, it would cause it to burn out. Sorry this is wrong and should have read: I honestly believe that masking tape would not cause this to burn out Mike
