Hi Guys,
I do apologise as this is a basic thread but to a DIY-er tiling has never been so complicated! Ive read threads on this site for hours so could I check ive got it right? Im tiling travertine onto 7sqm of joists with 18mm P5 chipboard, 10mm Marmox, (BAL tech advice say use 10mm Marmox over 18mm chip is fine) Bal primer, Devimat UFH, Mapei renovation SLC, BAL SPF adhesive, BAL WP1 tanking kit over a Tuff form tray. So....
18mm T&G chip over the whole floor (extra noggins, screwed down min 300mm centres) 10mm gap at corners of room.
Bal primer on top/sides/underneath of chip?
Tuff form tray (18mm) screwed down as per manufacturers recommendations.
For the rest of the floor...2mm SPF then Marmox on top screwed to 150mm centres.
Devimat down (self sticking) - ive read Marmox doesnt need priming first?
Mapei SLC to about 5mm (to cover the 3mm UFH cables plus a bit more).
SLC up to the edges of the Tuff form tray which will give the same level, use the BAL tanking matting over the (up to 1.5mm) gap.
WP1 the corners & tray waste.
Then just the easy bit...the tiling!!!
I hope ive got my head round it now, please point out anything ive got wrong/missed out. Thanks.
