Chipboard with water UFH

I have used SLC and Dural Ci in the past on 2 jobs. No issues but I still dont like this system.

Me too, fingers crossed. On to poly pipe system direct though, not chipboard.

No not onto chipboard either. Direct SLC over pipe then Dural Ci, then tile.

So what was the make up of the floors that you tiled like this? I had to walk away from one a little while ago as it was covered in 6mm ply and floating.

So are you saying that the pipes are fixed down and then you just treat it as the electric UFH, as in SLC over the top and then tile? And does that mean that you get shot of the insulation foam they use?

Hi Rich the floor I laid was solid screed, with slc done by a brain damaged chmp. Then the poly-pipe laid on top, I insisted they screwed the poly-pipe board down, then I encapsulated the whole lot with slc, then put the decoupler down.

If you search poly-pipe on here you will find a thread I started, asking for advice. I also stated a thread called my worst nightmare about the same job. Hope this helps.

The one job I did was laid with polypipe in their own fibreboard channels. i had them screwed firmly down before I would even go on the job.
It was then for me to SLC over the top and lay Dural Ci all over.
There was no insulation foam on my jobs.

Hi,

Quick update;

I did'nt get this job in the end. Customer rang me to say he would be putting 9 ply on top of chipboard but could'nt expect me to tile on and he would tile it himself. Not sure if 9mm WBP exists so i'm betting he's put standard ply down and IF he primes it, it will be PVA.

I know of 3 tilers around my area running around putting 9mm ply down and tiling on, and what's worse i'm losing out on jobs to these idiots. Tbh i've just about had it with this game.

To be fair , Its not only this game/Trade. I am sure plumbers, Electricians etc have to deal with the same issues !!

i don't think they get it as bad as us neale, it is illegal to work on gas and most electrics unless qualified and most people adhere to it. unfortunately nobody bothers policing the tiling industry

We all know how you feel mate, it drives you mad but you just have to take comfort in the fact that you are doing it right and dont have to deal with customers chasing you down because your work is failing.
