self-leveling on impey tanking matt

[discotiler]

hi all , has anyone self-levelled on top of impey tile membrane , the reason for the levelling is to cover the UFH matt for tiling any advice on what levelling compound's work or dont work appreciated. cheers

Yes, I have used ultra level it 2 (latex based) and weber floor flex, the weber would be the one I'd use if I did it again, purely because of the fibre content.

cheers mate, webber product's seems to be the choice for a lot of tilers at the moment and reasonably priced aswell, thanks

If you have tilemaster products available near you, the level flex SLC they do is equally as good as Weber's.

You're supposed to level before waterproofing aren't you?!

its a bathroom floor with wet tray and the plumber has covered the whole floor and wet tray with tanking matt , now there is ufh matt to go down all over , i prefer to cover the cable with self levelling thats why i am asking about levelling compount on impey tanking matt

 

[DHTiling]

The tray should have been kept higher to allow for the extra height of the UFH , this then would have kept a flat tiling field with out altering the fall ratio in the tray.

Are we talking about the sticky evil impey membrane? If it is, I wouldn't touch it. Awful evil nasty stuff!

Impey have a new one out now, can't for the life of me remember what it's called, water guard or something like that. It's sticky as hell on one side and fleece on the top, much thinner and much nicer to work with.

 

[discotiler]

aye the sticky as one when u kneel on it ur stuck there for life i am not a fan of it myself but the customer had bought it and the plumber has done the fitting of it all, prefer the weidi gear but will have to struggle on and try unstick myself from the floor

The impey membrane is the best tanking system IMHO but I'd check the heat output of the underfloor mat as they only recommend 100w. Personally I'd have just used the same flexible adhesive to cover the cables.

Hi, indeed Tilesafe is a little sticky to handle! but you are correct, the new epoxy friendly fleece one sided adhesive membrane alternative is called Impey Waterguard.

May have been helpful if the output of heating mat could be confirmed and which levelling compound Impey would recommend !

Tilesafe works with only single part cement compounds but Waterguard can work with any. For dedicated tech help with Impey products our technical line is: 01460 258 682. They will be able to answer any queries on compunds and underfloor heating outputs.
