listern tilers have been used as test dummys for years bring out a new product test in lab bring to site until the tilers have worked it out how it realy works it destroys some along the way but they dont care your just anther test dummy lambs to the slauter i was asked about this kind of lay the other day and sat down with the client and told him this was still in the learning prosese lucky he sell a lot of the products you use day to day so new what i was telling him so any way he is going to lay 120 m2 of flooring straight on these pipes so this is what we decided would be the best test

1 laytex over the piping with fibra renifoced laytex securing the piping and filling in the voids bring in flush with the pipe inlay

2 cover with a decoupler

3 laytex over decouplar with fibra reninfoced laytex 8 to 10 mm

4 now cover with decouplar again

5 now fix tiles with flexable adhesive

6 the thinking behind this is that it allows movement between the pipes the laytex and the tiles
we all agree that this is a £9000 exsperament but he wants to know as much as me will this work
Wow...some prep there, if that fails we're all doomed. Think that'll answer the original question though 'should we use old methods.....' answer NO ;)

I'll try and get some sort of disclaimer in writing off somebody...hopefully o_O
I'd be interested on Bri's take on this as he did mention in another post this is also a method he uses..
Bri??

well this does not answer that question here we are keeping the hight to the minim but allowing maxinam cost £40 m2 surplied and fitted including labour 2 decouplars adhesive for tiles and laytex but not tile fixing against £6,20 m2 all in not including labour i think the real question has just been answered any one that does not understand the answer is just a money making machine for all your surpliers

There is no truth to the rumour that we are going to dye the screeds red. One manufacturer has begun supplying coloured screeds, they have a red one and a green one and are soon to have a blue one. Problem is this is cost inhibitive for the manufacturers in general so it will not spread to all screeds.
