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

[J Sid]

one of the ufh company's I use did some test and found the two part stuck to the foil but the weak bond was the foil to foam and stopped sell it.

have you any pictures of the set up. minumum requirement 4 mm fibra renforced floor leveler over pipes
then 1 mm iso mat decoupler then 10mm serate with ragni trowel floor. back skim tile flat all serrates should be same way. tile pushed against them back and forth .done 120 m2 of floor like this a year ago no problems .
you can all ways give me a ring if you want to talk one to one

Are you still advising Ray on back notching the 600x1200 porcel thin tile though ?

Wunda should be changed to "Chunda"
It's absolute garbage and I wouldn't fix 12mm porcelain to the junk, yet alone 6mm.

Either get everything in writing and do it all by their book - or walk away!

mark i have always tested and tested again on walls a serrate and a flat back skim will work if the walls are flat
same as floors do the prep serrate the floor flat back the tile easyer to break the ribs less force needed
now the floor if uneven and you need to make up the diffence the the double serate is the way to go
as this allows you to even out the rise and falls a little more force needed to get the tile were needed
and lash clips a must

After being at Coverlam in Birmingham I wouldn't hold much faith in the Mapei adhesives for thin porcs.
Ask Ray or Gary as they ripped up a tile that was fitted with specd adhesive for thin porcs & it wouldn't break down the ribs enough for full coverage.

Ended up jumping on it lol still didn't spread under the tile

You & Ray were funny, wee guy from Mapei didn't know where to look.

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

I was there that day too at Grespania. Waste of a day - aside from meeting you guys.
I learnt more from Ray and Gary than anyone from Grespania.

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

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

Im on a job and neighbours joiner has just been on and asked about this foil ufh , it looks really bad , cheap and nasty , he asked my opinion , i said at least slc then matting (tilemaster) he said thats what there tiler has said but the owner has seen a video on the net where they just tile over it
The net has a lot to answwr for

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 .
