Hi All,
I'm a bit worried about my recently tiled kitchen/diner.
Having re-read the mixing instructions for the adhesive I've noticed that I should have used a flexi additive instead of water to mix it - I feel like a bit of an idiot, such a rookie mistake!
The floor goes like this:
old concrete subfloor (no cracking)
10mm wedi board (bonded to subfloor)
UFH mat (elec)
~6mm self levelling (wickes high performance - applied in two coats several days apart)
left to dry for a few days and tested ufh for 45 mins to check it works - it's been off since
a few days later I started laying tiles, took ages as its my first time and I have a full time job too!
I've left 5-10mm round the edge to allow for expansion
6mm notched float, adhesive on floor tiles on that. Tiles are approx 60x30cm and have a 3mm gap
Not grouted yet... (got some bal flexible wide joint grout)
Can someone put my mind at rest, am I going to be resticking these things down for ever and a day? Should I just carry on and grout?
I'm guessing it would be a good idea to leave the UFH off for a couple of weeks after grouting.
