Keraquick + 600x600 Porcelain + Andhydrite Screed - UFH DISASTER!

[kevin.pritchard]

Saw your thread on this forum Bri about Anhyfix. I see its quite elasticated. Thats really good to hear

This definitely seems like the adhesive for the job. 40 m2 to lay so I'll get 9 bags.

Thank you for showing me this product. I just wish I'd know about it sooner. This Keraquick can go in the bin!

Hmm.. Just read this:

"Anhyfix will be 100% compatible with anhydrite / calcium sulphate and can be applied directly without having to prime."

Leafcutter by any chance ?? I would take info from TileMaster websites and data sheets.

N&C Gypfix specify no need to prime unless surface is too absorbent....which it most probably will be .

What sort of m2 coverage can I expect from a 20kg bag of Anhyfix with a 8-10mm notched trowel and 1mm back butter? PDF states "20kg will cover approximately 5 – 6 metre2 at 3mm bed application".

Using a 10mm square notch and back skimming, you will get around 5 m2 per 20kg bag.

Would I be better off using a U-shaped notch trowel?

I'm actually not a big fan of the u shape trowels, I've had one in the van for about 2 years now, hardly used it.

I laid 80m2 onto a Gyvlon screed & used 10 bags of AnhyFix, that was a 10mm trowel & tiles back buttered, it goes a long way,
The screed was really flat though.
