My first flooring project advice please

[davereid]

Hi

I have just completed my first wall tiling project with help from all on here and now looking to tile bathroom floor. Its concrete with bitumen on top and is pretty level but not perfect. I've tried using a wire brush all loose material has been removed but most bitumen still there. Going to use ceramic tiles 360 x 270.

From reading this site I'm planning on the following:

1. Paint SBR over bitumen
2. Wickes high performance floor primer
3. Wickes SLC
4. Mapei G primer
5. Adhesive (Mapei proflexible) and tiles

Not sure if I have understood this correctly. Just want some advice on whether I have missed anything out or got anything in the wrong order.

Many thanks

Dave

I wouldnt do it that way.
SBR mixed with rapid set adhesive into a slurry.
SLC with either Mapei renovation screed/Ultra Level It one/ Weber floor flex
Tile with an appropriate adhesive.

As Sir Ramic says

I would clean and make sure it's dust free.
Pour Mapei Fibreplan on top and tile over next day on the super flat floor.

Thanks Sir Ramic and Blocko

Does the SBR and adhesive slurry have to be a certain minimum thickness or just ensure it fully covers the floor?

I presume you mean that once this first layer sets, I dont need any primer but use the 3 products above as the SLC, you dont mean SLC and Renovation screed mixed?

Do I still use primer G before tiling or tile straight on to the SLC?

Thanks

Or you could get a pro tiler in to do it for you .

This exact order-
1- sweep & vacuum floor
2- mix up a sbr & rapid set slurry
3- roller slurry coat onto floor (thick enough to not see any bitumen)
4- wait for approx 4 hrs for slurry coat to dry
5- self level floor with mapei renovation screed slc (my preffered choice)
6- wait for slc to dry fully before tiling (no need to prime, but I often do due to dust in the air)
