Perfect Tiling
Hi all...hope all well out there!
Here's a question for you...looked at a floor job tonight. The tiles are onto a suspended floor screeded with 50mm concrete with water underfloor heating. The floor has been down about 6 years and most of the tiles are loose. I'm assuming they are loose due to not a full bed of addy, the wrong addy, movement due to being a new build or the customer turning up the heat too soon! Retiling that part is easy enough. The main problem is that they are changing the room layout to make a new room with half the floor havinf a timber substrate and half having a heated screed. They not sure about tiling and may put down vinyl but want me to level the floor throughout that room. my thought was to remove tiles down to heated screed and remove floor boards and use ply to bring that half level to the screed, then possibly bond hardibacker or a marmox insulation board to go over screed and onto ply where it can be screwed. Obviously it cant be screwed onto the screed as I don't want to hit a water pipe. The floor size is only about 4sq mtr. Any thoughts....hope this makes sense!! :mad2:
