800+m2 of SLC

[cam_low]

I am looking to purchase enough SLC to cover this I normally use Renovation screed, however will be open to suggestions. Going straight over concrete after a hoover and a prime.

The next question I have is what is the quickest way to hoover this area and also prime it.

Thanks folks

Cam

Have you seen the itools range can mix I think 4 bags at a time all done internally,once mixed,tip your bucket and put the next mix on. As for priming I would apply it with a garden pressure sprayer depending on how thick it is

you can get something simillat to that http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gnz9tMGZVEY or make it yourself.
how deep have you go with slc? based on webber floor.set it takes 1.7kg per 1mm per 1 m2. so 17kg to do 10mm on 1 m2

Unless you have the man power, I would seriously think about subbing it out to a company who has the equipment.

thanks for the advice lads .

I should have said at the start that the floor merely needs to be smoothed off to take gym mats. me, two lads and a skid rake will be fine.

Would I be right in thinking SLC's don't give a wearing surface?

Some do, I've used F Balls Stopgap 800 a few times in areas that needed levelling but no floor covering fitted after. Still needs to be sealed after to prevent stains and spills penetrating

 

[cam_low]

Would you suggest sealing afterwards, the mats that are going on are jigsaw mats...if you know of them.

I would want to for piece of mind or I'd at least explain to the customer the benefits of having it done and give them a price, it's up to them then

it would be far cheaper than bagged SLC...

 

[cam_low]

Thanks alan but the job is now complete. I think they got the slc for free !!!

 

[lizzardtong]

Counted 9 pallets on that photo. Quite a lot of mixing. Did you do it in one hit?

Ah... Well I don't think we could get cheaper than that. maybe of use on a future job.... We just supplied 4000m2 on a job in Birmingham....went in in one day.
