yes they do. They did it over here for a while but the market did not ask for it enough to warrant keeping it. Shame really.

probably a bit optimistic. Probably closer to 50%. Around 25% of new floors in the UK are anhydrite. that number is increasing year on year. 5 years ago we reckoned it was about 15% and 10 years ago only about 5%. long may the growth continue. It pays my bills...

Alan what’s your opinion on cemfloor screeds? Again a new one to me but I tiled on one recently and it was a joy.

There are a few cement based liquid screeds in the market at present. They are my competitors and whilst they have found a place in the market there are some pretty bold and dishonest claims made about them unfortunately. I suspect the would be unable to back up many of the claims they make. I have heard varying tales just as I have with anhydrite but when all is said and done I would not make a claim that could not be supported...

here only this type of liquid screed is used, otherwise sand and cement.

I think I made a thread about cemfloor last year Lee and there claims about you can tile if after a week and no need to send it, load of nonsense. The one I tiled didn't crack and it was perfectly flat.

I read the claims of tiling after 4/5 days but the rep for this supplier said 25 days. I left this one for 5 weeks, sanded it and gave it 3 coats of primer, It was up there with one of the flattest floors I’ve ever tiled.
