Mapei fibre plan......

[DHTiling]

I have used this leveller from Mapei called Mapei fibre plan.......it is suitable for wood/ply floors ....UFH... etc etc and what a leveller.....

i normally use Arditex on UFH but Ardex have said no to using it on ply floors now..( they never used to)......so i have been hunting around for a good timber one as well as UFH....

Well i was well impressed.... the fibres in it really seem to give it a very strong body........and it flows very well and self levels very good as well unlike Arditex which is hard work yo get it flat and being 2 part Arditex stinks to high heavens as well.....

The Mapei fibre plan is single part requires 6.3 to 6.8 ltrs of water only and is fast to mix and use........

So it has a big thums up from me.........

Water-bored ultra-fast hardening self levelling fibre reinforced smoothing compound.

Hi Dave, new to all this and loving all the great info.So just a question on this, have a ply sub floor on joists to level with 25mm low spots so would i use ultraplan maxi from mapei so i can level it all in one go (its only 3m sq) and is ultraplan flixble to take slight movement from ply cause im laying 500mm x 500mm x 18mm marble tiles...any info would help, thanking you..

 

[DHTiling]

You need to use fibre plan....ultraplan maxi isn't suitable for timber floors....it is suitable for ufh in screeds etc but not timber.

Deffo fibre plan...but 25mm is a hell of a dip in a timber floor...

Can the floor not be trued up first..?

 

[noobtiler]

Not really, i spent about a week already doing the services and pipes for the shower and sink. I only want it level so i can get a good bed of adhesive on the marble tiles, but i do understand what ur saying thou. Its actually probably out by 15mm or so. Could i put down eml wire to enhance the bond to the ply? And ive heard god stuff about mira x plan, it goes up to 50mm and ive heard its great adhesion to ply? your opinion pls

 

[DHTiling]

Mapei fibre p[ln is good, but you need to get this in one bite on thimber for a better bond..

I have also used weber niv....this does 25mm in one go and is fibre enhanced and suitable for timber floors..

Can you get hold of that...?

 

[noobtiler]

Im sw 11 london if u know any good retailers, otherwise I can make some calls tomorrrow. Do i need latex based to improve stability and reducing risk of cracking?

 

[DHTiling]

Weber niv is an all in one slc....just add water and it's the same with fibre plan...

You will get fibre plan fron tile giant but not sure in your area where you will get weber niv..

 

[noobtiler]

thanks dave for all the info, been great help! let u know how i go

 

[DHTiling]

No probs...good luck..
