Gyvlon screeds are not difficult, provided that you:

1. identify that it is a Gyvlon screed
2. remove laitence by sanding the surface and vacuuming the dust
3. ensure that UFH has been correctly commissioned prior to tiling and any cracks repaired
4. use a gypsum based adhesive and fix tiles ensuring a solid bed fix

Simples :lol:,

Whats wrong with the link to my post (apart from that it doesnt touch on Gyvlon screeds)?Have I got the wrong end of the stick or is Alan asking for my post to be banned??
Wrong end of the stick rich. Sorry ..... No offence intended...no banning required.

Has anyone bought a hair hygrometer and if so where from? how much? any good?F Ball only do a digital one now but a search throws up Dial hair hygrometers, is this the right one...seems very cheap if it is ?
You can use the digital ones. They aRe nowhere near as accurate or responsive though. We just testing various moisture methods to see which works best because proper hair hygrometers are becoming difficult to get hold of.
