6mm X 1m X 1m Tiles - Why So Bloody Thin?!?!

[One Day]

Trouble is Stef most companies not all don't listen to the end user who has more experience using their products than any one in their factory , the chemist will produce what works on a small sample of the material

Which is one BIG reason why we should be setting up our own association!

its the way to go as we have no vested interest but our own they have two association in Australia they hate each other but bring about a good balance in the end not one sided like in the uk

So true Gary, that's what I like about TileMaster, they seem to listen more to fixers instead of just palming them off.

Lol I spoke to wunda about drying times before turning on underfloor heating .after fixing completed .they told me 48 hours is fine as it's ready for light foot traffic .I knew this was wrong .spoke to mapei they said at least 28 days .bit of a difference .I think I'll go with mapei on this .

Used this porcel thin a few times on h&m's for their shop fronts a cheap option to granite absolute nightmare to use coming in at lengths of 2.7 metres

2.7 meters?!?!

I've done a few wunda floors. Trying to remember I'm sure it was something like keratin t mixed with isolastc. But I had to prime the foils with a primer can't remember which one. If the foils aren't primed they have a chemical reaction with the adhesive causing the foils to oxidise and eventually throwing tile. But my god the tile takes a serious hold and wear latex gloves or you'll have white rubber fingers for a week.

2.7 meters?!?!

also 3 meter x 1.20 meter

Christ that's crazy. No wonder ribs don't squish. The load of three men standing on one of those won't really be felt by standard adhesives. You need something akin to water lol

 

[Kevbos]

I have been assured by wunda and mapei .that just using kera bond t and isolastic is way to stick the tiles .but use 3mm on back of tile 6mm on floor.so don't see point of such a thin tile myself .as I'm laying the tiles it seems I'm compressing the wunda boards and foil down .but it does seem to be sticking hard .but was not told to prime the foil at all ? ?

Will post some pictures tomorrow

strange advice of Mapei ...
They told me other things. (course of a year ago)
6mm thin porcelain. they say Ultralite s1
for 3mm thin porcelain / resined ultralite s2
mystery

And they being fixed on a polystyrene underfloor heating board covered in foil .after speaking to the underfloor heating supplier and then mapei .I was told must be kept dust free to stick to the foil on polystyrene .yet it's a 80m2 floor how do I keep it dust free

sorry, could be this, the board Isolastic

 

[Kevbos]

I spoke to wunda and mapei .both said same thing .but on asking on drying times for turning heating on .wunda said 48 hrs .mapei said 28 days .lol
