Discuss How quick can I tile a new screed in the UK Tiling Forum area at TilersForums.com.
Do you always have to use a slurry coat on concrete before screeding, or is it just best practice/reccomended?
What are the likely consequences of not using a slurry coat?
Cheers
if you put in 4:1 sand cement screed at 25mm expect to be re laying it pretty soon. It is much too thin. If you are laying on an existing concrete or screed floor it needs to be 50mm minimum. If you are stuck with 25mm I would mix 3:1 and add SBR and polypropylene fibres. This would also dry significantly quicker as the SBR will reduce the water content and the water cement ratio will be lower meaning more of the water in the mix is used up by the cement hydration.
Why not bed 20mm wedi type board onto the floor with adhesive then tile that the same day.
Every one is a winner :hurray:
Good luck

No membrane required. Wedi is dimensionally stable in all conditions excepting perhaps a house fire. Its quick and easy to fit, it allows you to level out a floor, it has great insulation properties.....I just whish I had developed it!
