Agilia concrete...

[dboden]

I have a job booked in, 26m floor, half is onto quarry tiles, the other half is a product called "agilia concrete" have you heard of this?
Is it ok to tile straight onto it, (obviously with primer) I was planning on using the tile master flex rapid trade adhesive. (C2)


Thanks, Dave.

Might be worth giving Lafarge a call http://www.lafarge.com/wps/portal/4.../connect/Lafarge.com/AllPro/Con/ProCon01/CSEN

Wait till Ajax sees this & he will tell you how to..

It is a pourable cement screed ... It does normally require sanding to remove a waxy top residue from the hardening agent.

It used to be sprayed but if I recall correctly it is incorporated within the pour now...

how large an area is the screed ? .. They normally insert an expansion joint at 3mtr intervals .

Unsure what the area split is yet, I will be popping over to have a look soon, I will bare that in mind..
To add to the mix, I have since been told it has been primed with a "tiling primer"!! So it is ready to go.
I will do my homework on this one!

i went onto a new build development yesterday to delivery 100m2 of tiles, whilst unloading foreman told me theyd laid agilia screed this week, and they are to tile next week.

#gulp.

i just dont get how this can still be happening? floor hasnt been commissioned, its going to fail and fail badly.

i mean, even on the lafarge website it gives you all the info you need.

 

[Dave]

That has got disaster written all over it Lee ..

Lack of knowledge is just ignorance .

Do screed layers or even the suppliers supply data sheets to customers/builders..? On drying / curing of said screeds..

a basic data sheet would go a long way to avoiding customer heartache .

I cannot see on the website where it give relevant info??.. Any chance of a link for this. :sofahide:

 

[Dave]

There is no info on the lafarge site , when it comes to tech Info on tiling to Agilia 10 (cement based ) the info is rather lacking.

Always if in doubt , speak to the lafarge Agilia rep..

I,m going to go and see the job, in about a week.
I will find out exactly what has gone down, and when.
And then give lafarge a ring, as a backup. It seems as though they recommend Tilemaster products with theirs, which is good, as this is what I use.
Thanks for all input chaps.
