Anhydrite or Concrete - dont know

[Filip]

Just looked myself and yes it does doesn't it, I am getting my daughter to send me a picture of the end of the box with the info on but while she is sending that - here are a couple of shots from the brochure

Just looked on the bottom of the tile I have here and it says PORCELAN MADE IN TURKEY embossed in the tile and they are 10mm thick

Check the stock before you start!
I had the same situation last year with this range.
Topps advertise that they are made in Britain and are suitable for floors - both facts are not true. The tile they show is a white biscuit wall tile that they are selling like BCT tiles with soft glaze, totally unsuitable for floors. However the tiles I received boxed as above were in fact porcelain and made in Turkey!
When this was pointed out to Topps in M25 corridor area of Redhill they stated that they were changing supplier of this range and hadn’t updated their webpage!
So they are advertising a British range of ceramic tiles to look like British quarried stone, but switching the supply to a Turkish porcelain without telling you! Sums them up really.

I am now so confused --The brochure says ceramic and British made - the tiles say Turkey and porcelain and the website say British and porcelain and ok for floor. Are you saying that they are no good for a floor. And I am not sure what you mean when you say white biscuit, I am looking here

looks like a screed layence has settled on surface like anhydrite i would sand off as this is loose and will not secure the adhesive or slr and must be removed before tiling

 

[Dumbo]

That's expensive for what it is

From what I have learnt over the past 48 hours that is also my thinking, its like some areas were wetter than others and its just pools of cement dust gone hard in those areas, if it comes off then I will take it off. Am I ok with the primer I plan to use, reason being its what the local supplier stocks

She got them at half price. So not the price on the website as they have gone back up now

all screeds whether sand cement or anhydrite have latence on the surface this is the water that comes to the top when tampering or trowing the product and should always be removed

If its barratts outside London and its a house it is probably self compacting concrete. Not only would it have laitance it will also have a curing agent on it. As with all screeds and concretes it should be mechanically abraded prior to bonding floor coverings.
