Can it be true.....

[DavieA]

Thats what the manager said, even went to 2 stores because i didnt beleive it either but both said as long as no vertical movement its what there doing down south.

Ok.. if no and i mean NO deflection then it can be used..

 

[DavieA]

Yeah Stewart it seems that this could be the future from what i was hearing, I mean if the floor is bounce free and your flex addy can stick o chipboard why shouldnt it work??

Dangerous place my mind.....

 

[DHTiling]

Dural, like any other membrane of this type is to cope with lateral stress.. hence it needs to be deflection free.

Its not happening anywhere near any of my jobs and they're all south 🙂

I know people who use it over floorboards but not chipboard.

 

[DavieA]

Yeah I totally agree with you Dave. I usually have my joiners ply the floor before I arrive and then tile onto that but think maybe a better idea is to continue to have them ply the floor to ensure its deflection fre then use Dural on all floor jobs ceramic ,porcelain and stone then once again in my head I have the best of both worlds a strenghtned floor because ive used ply so verticle movent is eliminated and also because the membrane is on op of the ply the tiles are protected from any lateral movement AND its waterproofed.

 

[DavieA]

For anyones thats used this stuff any thoughts on best trowel bed thickness when using any membrane?

 

[DHTiling]

4mm..🙂

 

[DavieA]

ok , 4mm for bedding down mat and an 8mm/10mm depending on tile thickness?

Dave do you use a squared or round notched trowel?

 

[doug boardley]

okay then....starting from bare joists on a suspended wooden floor, how/when do we all use the uncoupler? (ideal scenario)
