So a very nice man I know, a certain Mick Volponi - who happens to be responsible for the MLT levelling system, has sent me this sample kit to try.
For anyone who hasn't heard of it, it's a system from the USA which uses a combination of different straps and base plates for different materials...
Everybody seems to be selling tile levelling systems these days. So I thought I'd have a quick look on one of the websites I use to by tat from. They do actually do some good stuff amongst the crap. It's worth digging through. You can often get samples sent over FOC if you have an account that...

Hi - some four bathrooms down and feeling pretty confident. So - now my son wants me to level his entire ground floor with varying thicknesses of marmox boards 6mm - 20mm to insulate a bit and to cover existing and incomplete "rubber" tiles - which are possibly containing asbestos so I'd rather...
Hi all, I'm about to tile a concrete kitchen floor that needs leveling as it currently slopes and runs out by around 40 mm (from one end of room to the other). I just wanted to know whether (a) self leveling compound would do the job and if so, the maximum thickness that can be applied, and (b)...

Hi all just asking if anyone else has come across selflevelling compound cracking and what they have done about it.
The floor in question is an old farm house and was a mixture of concrete and old type tiles but as walls had been removed these were all at different heights hence levelling.

Fast-setting, self-leveling, polymer-modified cementitious screed, used for smoothing and leveling concrete or mortar floors, before laying finishing materials like ceramic tiles, moquettes, parquet, vinyl tiles etc. It can be used at a thickness of 1-10 mm. Ideal for quick repairs, as it is...
