I've just had the whole ground floor of a house we are working on levelled with a pump in liquid screed. It's an anhydrite so we are going to grind it & prime it to remove surface latency.
I'm risk-averse when it comes to tiling, and usually always use decoupling membranes but we do not have...
Hi folks,
We're having our downstairs tiles installed soon, about 82m2 of 1.2x1.2m square porcelain tiles onto an anhydrite liquid screed, with UFH.
We've had reasonable quotes from two tilers, but they looking to do things a little differently, and we're not sure on the best approach. Both...
I was impressed with some of the technical understanding in this forum so wanted to put my question here. The plan is to put limestone tiles into my kitchen. The project is a large renovation and I dont have some of the major pressures as we do not live in this house during the project. Some...
Evening all,does anyone know the % reading you need to tile onto cement liquid screed using a hair hygrometer ? Virtually all my floors in the near future are going to be cement based.this is probably aimed at Alan jackson(are you out there pal??)
I thought I would put this on as these screeds are becoming increasingly popular and there seems to be incorrect advice been given by the screeders. Pumped in, rapid drying cement based screed with underfloor heating which they claim you can tile on directly after 7 days and you don’t need to...
Hello fellas,
New to this forum thought I'd get some opinions on my method as I've never dealt with tiling over gypsum liquid screed. I also have wet underfloor heating over 40m2. The screed was laid 4 weeks ago after 9 days I sanded the laitence off and primed with Weber. My plan is to use...
Does anyone know much about these screeds? I have the spec sheets here for it and a builder is proposing to use it on a floor, 44sqm with ufh in a glass link room, it says in the specs that ufh can be commissioned, force dried after 7 days and tiling can commence after 16 days, and there is no...
Hi There,
Just wondering if anybody has had any experience tiling onto cemfloor liquid screed. The screeder is telling me that its a new cement based screed and that it doesn't need to be sanded or primed before putting the tile down? The surface is smooth and rock solid but I've always sanded...
In a new build with ufh and liquid screed throughout, I have two bathrooms to tile. First bathroom is straightforward enough and have primed and laid ditra mat. The second is to be converted to a wetroom as the buyer of the property is disabled.
Was going to build a frame on the level part of...
Evening all
Can anyone recommend a liquid screed supplier in Sussex for a job I'm on.
It's not being tiled just engineered flooring laid.
Any help appreciated.
Cheers
I have posted on here a while back about my undefloor heating project. I now finally have a floor again :)
I have had a liquid screed laid, Gylvon Thermio+ at a minumum thickness of 36mm and a maximum of 52mm, average was 48mm. Video of it going down here

Was wondering how long until I could tile a liquid screed. I hear its 1 day per mm depth. Is that right? Any specific primer needed for liquid screed? Im tiling limestone on top of it. Thanks for advice in advance
We've had a disaster (and I cried a lot) and now need help please.
We laid porcelain tiles with Mapei (Flexpro?) adhesive over a liquid screed floor which is white which still had laitence.
Wise after the event, we now know that tiles do not like that and they all started to come up. There was...
Hi All,
Our new build has a beam & block ground floor with 125mm of Kingspan insulation which then has a Nu-Heat wet underfloor heating system clipped to the insulation. A 50mm liquid screed will be poured on top to give a heated screed floor ready for final floor coverings.
One of the...
