Discuss Limestone tiling over a dry sand and cement screed with UFH in the Australia Tiling Forum area at TilersForums.com.
Why is it i spend ages typing and it tells me im not logged in when i am ,anyway spokke to adhesive tech man , no need for uncoupling mats end of from me but im only a lucky guy i dont know what im doing
Ajax123;76 but a tad petulant as well[/QUOTE said:Not petulant Alan, just dont like being told i have been lucky after all my years in the tiling trade (44 andy allen) lol now two tech people have said you dont need to use mats, (are they wrong )get a grip man
well emmettcraik i would tend to go along with the bal tech man,bal have been making adhesives for many many years and i believe its a name to be trusted ,you have now heard it from the people that make the stuff so you wont go far wrongWell guys enjoying the responses. Am only tiling 6 years so am always try to suck in info. I don't want to be 'caught out' hence the request. I then decided to ring BAL technical guru. ( as I am in Ireland so don't know if British standards a applicable in an irish court!). The guru gave these instructions: sand & cement screed must be down for 3 weeks, then commission UFH by raising in daily by 5 dgs to the desired operating temp, leave it at this temp for 7 days, then go back down 5 dgs per day until off, once off leave for 3 days. Begin tiling using Stone and tile thickbed flexible adhesive NO UNCOUPLING MAT REQUIRED. Once finished tiling do not turn on heating for 28 days. Then turn on 5 dgs per day until desired temp reached. Then use UFH as desired. What do you reckon guys, am meeting client tomorrow!
