Hi all,
I'm in the process of getting all set up for a first floor refurbishment on my property which includes the installation of electric underfloor heating in wetroom.
I've come across a loose wire system from Warmup and it mentions the wire is 1.8mm thick and you can apply tile adhesive...

Hi guys I'm a first time house buyer, and I am trying to level a floor to tile. The hardcore underneath the bitumen is old sham and sand from a nearby by Pitt. Then on top of that concrete and a bitumen dpm of around 10-15mm.
Problem is over the years when shale or sand absorbs moisture it has...

Ive got to lay victorian geometric tiles onto a newly laid (just over a week) concrete surface that isn't flat. The job is external. Would it be best to use a self levelling compound and if so, is there a Self level product suitable for green concrete?
If not, would it be possible to lay the...

Hi
I'm retiling my kitchen floor. I took up the old vinyl tiles and am in the (very slow!) process of removing the vinyl glue.
Under some of the vinyl glue, in some places, though, are dark patches of what I guess old self-levelling compound. It's not across the whole floor but is just in...
Hi all,
I've been reading all your helpful advice to everyone, so after tearing my hair out for most of the day thought I would sign up. Please could someone clarify if I should've used Cementone SBR on top of a self levelling latex floor compound. I originally stripped the old kitchen floor...

Okay so slightly nervous as I have a floor to level next week. It runs out by 10-12m.... I self levelled a floor a few weeks ago but got it wrong so my confidence is not good right now.
What is the best SL to buy. It's going on concrete. Do you any of you use the fast setting stuff...

Here for advice on this one. People who think I am a pro because of a little argument in which I responded to JT then take it with a pinch of salt and don't use it going forward on every post to have a go at me. It's old news now :) I am here for advice mainly as I have been out the tiling game...

Instructions say:
Before tiling on gypsum it says to apply neat, ( does this apply on top of self levelling?)
Also says do NOT apply in such...

Hello
I am new to the forum and would appreciate some expert advice.
The question is: Is there some kind of self-leveling compound that can be used ON TOP of Marmox boards.
Having just knocked down a dividing wall, I find that one floor (already insulated with Marmox) is LOWER than the other...

Hi all. I know there are a few bits of advice on the forums but my question is fairly specific. We are self levelling a 23sq m. concrete floor across 3 rooms in a domestic property. I reckon we will need an average fill of 6mm across the floor or there abouts. To my mind that is 1.38m3 of...

Hi All
I have an issue which I would like to hear your thoughts on.
I have had a floor fail on me, and need to get to the bottom of what has happened.
The floor is timber, screwed to joists and checked for deflection.
Then overlaid with 10mm backer board, screwed to floor. No primer.

Hi. My floor at home is part screed and part marley tiles. I need to level the floor, so was thinking take the marleys up and cover the bitumen residue ( not even a mil thick) with Arditex NA. Then any more levelling that needs to be done, I can use my normal Ultra leveller on top. Is this...
