I always think that if the SLC is to thick, it will start to crack / shrink.

If a floor needs to have 20-30mm down before tiling, then a sand/cement screed needs to be considered. A nice 4:1 damp mix feathered off and devil floated.

Using SLC to cover large areas at this depth will cost a fortune. :p

IT'S STILL AN OPTION - iF YOU CAN PERSUADE THE CUSTOMER TOTHAT IS NECESSARY & THEY ARE WILLING TO PAY FOR IT.
WILL NOT SHRINK OR CRACK IF YOU ADHERE TO SPEC
