Hi,
We have a 55 square metre kitchen that we want to tile with 80cm x 50cm limestone tiles. We have NO UFH.
80% of the room is a newly screeded floor (extension) which is perfectly level (to within the tolerance of an 8 foot level placed in various places). The screed is dry having been...

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...

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...

Hello

Also says do NOT apply in such...

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.
UFH...

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...

Hi everyone,
Is there any such thing as a self levelling compound that can be directly laid on top of Egger P5 Protect Tongue and Groove Chipboard? My builders have done just that and then tiled on top of it. My tiled floor has failed.
The Egger people have been really helpful. They say that...

I have posted this type of slc method before, just thought I would repeat it if I have got the pics right, dots set by laser runners made from 3-1 compo plus polymer and rapid set adhesive.
