deep slc

[marshalltiling]

Plan it? from Topps up to 50mm in one go and goes hard in a couple of hours. used it a few times and had no problems. I think its about £25 a 25 kg bag.

use insulation board a lot lot cheaper and you can tile next day

weber floor flex is about half the price of that and is a great leveller.

 

[chrisroe]

do the maths

1.6 kg per sq m per mm

eg

3.0 x 3.0 room size

hang on i need my calc

9 sq m room size

1.6 x 9 = 14.4 kg

14.4 kg x 30 = 432kg

432kg / 23 kg = 18 or 19 bags

19 bags * £ 20 = £ 380 ish

insulation boards

6 ' x 3' = 1.67 sq m per board

6 boards 30mm thick + adhesive £ 250 ish and a lot easier on the back

if and if you dont get them level then skim over the lot with a coat of slc

please note the above is only rough but you get my gist

As suggested Ultra does the job up to 50mm, used a dozen or so times and seems pretty good - certainly no complaints from me anyway. Good price from Topps if you have a trade account with them.

Only problem with your Maths is the weber they are on about is £11 plus vat, think the Norcros is similar but I've not used that one.

Same as, Ultra.

ultra etc are good or if you need that depth and want speed you can use Ardex A 35 mix 1-4 with good quality screed sand/grit ardex replaces portland. it is used semi dry and sets for tiling in 3 hours.

well at that price it makes a differance

but i would still prefer to put down 6 boards than 18 bags of slc

most i have done in one hit was 36 with three of us not nice

The Webber is excellent SLC with fibres.
But at 50mm its going to be expensive whichever you use.

Id go the boards , should work out quicker/cheaper once labour is factored in .
