Anyone on here used any Rocatex products? In particular, their decoupler and sealant. Thanks in advance

Evening all. I am in negotiation with a client over a tiling job. 33sqm tumbled marble over two substrates on a kitchen floor. One side floor boards one side concrete, I have priced to over board timber and pour levelling compound on the concrete to make the levels up. I have also priced to...

Hi all. We are having a tiling job done with dural matting over plywood. We were supplied with the adhesive in picture attached. Is this considered unmodified thinset? Is this OK to use both under and over the matting? -Please see post 4 for image.

Hi Apologies if this is in the wrong section. Im looking to purchase some decoupling/ anti fracture membrane, im going to need two 30m rolls, not too fussed about the make as its more of a " just incase" than a "must have". Cheapest ive managed to find so far is Durabase at £xx for a 30m roll...

Good morning. I am doing a job next week that I need a bit of advice on as I've never come across it before. Customer has a floor with piped water ufh covered with 30mm of plywood and tiles...as expected the floor hardly heats as ply inulates the ufh. The ply is coming up to be replaced with...

If you're like me, (mmmm prob not! :Lol:) There's a little doubt sometimes as to when and where a decoupling system can and should be used for maximum effect. I found this new info web page from Dural. It's the system I prefer and found this clear, straight forward and it's main features clearly...

Can I ask a quick question. If I was to fit a Wedi or Marmox shower tray and the rest of the room laid in their board, where would you fit the de-coupling membrane? Would you need it? I use Durabase CI for floors normally, so am I right in saytiong it would be Marmox floor, UFH, SLC, Durabase...

I think I know the answer but I will ask anyway .. I have a kitchen that is to be in an extension. Part of the original slab is staying, the rest ( 30 m2 worth ) is being wet underfloor heated and traditional sand and cement screed. I have advised the customer we will either have to line a...

Hi all anyone got information on where to obtain Decoupling mat in small amounts? I need 9m2 for small job Slate on Ply overlay. Im in FIFE SCOTLAND cheers:mad2:

Ok the saga begins 2 years ago with a call from a client complaining about a crunching sound when they walked on their tiles. The tiles had been installed in March 2011 on to an anhydrite screed with wet UFH. The screed was sanded vacuumed and primed. A decupling mat was installed using a cement...

Evening all, ive measured up 75 metres of suspended chipboard flooring split into four rooms at a property last night.ive allways used hardi to overboard wooden substrates but was wandering if a decoupling membrane could be used? Theres a good deal on at ctd and thought this way could possibly...

I am aware of the limited choices of decoupling membranes available and the colours which they come in (most are manufacturer specific). What would be your preferred colour of membrane and why? I actually quite like working with orange coloured decouplers, but if I could choose another colour...

Hi I am laying 14 sqm of 12-15mm sandstone tiles onto a concrete 1930's floor. DPM is unknown - but damp does not appear to be an issue- i don't really want to dig up concrete and lay a dpm. It was previosuly sealed with bitumen which was about 15mm thick. I wasn't sure of its purpose as a self...

I've never used this type of matting before it Has to felt sides and one blue plastic inner core This is a holiday home am tiling and the clients won't be here for weeks so I've no idea who supplied it or what brand it is, any ideas?

Ive a job to look at friday eve to tile in 600 polished porcs(15 m2) .My concern is that roughly half the floor is existing concrete screed layed on top of insulation board,and the other half is fresh(2 month) screed over insulation.Would a decoupling membrane and flexi addi suffice for any...

Hi All, this seems like a fantastic knowledge-base for tiling online. We're currently doing up our house with assistance from my brother. He's done a bit of DIY tiling before but doesn't have huge experience. We've got 2 tiling jobs: The first area we're tiling a large kitchen diner...

Hi all, Anyone ever come across a decoupling membrane called Decomat Pro and any opinions of it? It's a blue plastic circle pattern with a bluey-white fleece on the top and bottom. Cheers

I am pricing a 100m+ limestone floor on top of wet UFH set in a concrete screed. I have used Ditra in the past but wondered if any of you have other preferences and why? A decoupling membrane has been specified but nothing has been mentioned about which one. So, which one to use? Ditra, Dural...

Evening. Query for anyone who may know thw answer...about 15 months ago I installed a tiled floor about 32 sq mtrs onto a concrete subfloor with wet UFH that had been down and in use for almost a year. There were some hailine cracks in the floor so I used a genesis G-mat decoupling membrane. The...

I'm sure the answer is here somewhere already and my apologies for asking this. I am, what I'd like to describe as, a competent DIYer and am now intending to create a wetroom in an existing first floor bathroom. It's a relatively small room, say about 2.5m x 2.5m. I want the smallest possible...
