SLC over a heat mat......

[Andy Allen]

What you lot using to cover your heat mats...??
I'm struggling to get hold of my normal Weber floor flex...

Also, talking to my supplier he was working out for a 23m2 floor I would need 7 bags ?
I normally work on getting 2m2 per bag...?

Mapei Ultraplan Renovation Screed , amazing stuff

Generally use Ultra rapid leveler, or TM Rapid 30 over wires if in a rush, if no rush the two part Ultra leveler.. There's some good prices if you shop about, might have to buy min of ten bags for free delivery though.
Same Andy or thereabouts 2sqm per 20kg bag at 6mm..

Keep hearing good things about the level flex 30 how dose it compare to the stander level flex...which I can get £2 a bag cheaper !

 

[Spare Tool]

Well it sets quicker haha...personally think it flows really well.

 

[Flintstone]

2m per bag here too generally . Rapid level 30 is the best I've ever used

 

[John Benton]

I used rapid level 30 on the hottest day of the year and and it was setting as I poured it

Yep, just turn off the heating in the house while you do it

Its fine at this time of year, just gotta be all set up with plenty of water at the ready in the summer and don't stop mixing and pouring till whole floors done..
For leveling over ufh i use 1" strips of 6mm insulation boards, stuck to level or flat with ady and split floor into 1m wide runs over ufh mats, just pour a load in at one end and pull 4ft level over strips...

I use Tilemaster fineflow 3000 because it flows and is one of the cheapest around. Setting time is on the slow side and is a minus point.

Mapei Renovation screed is also excellent for the slow setting variety.

Rocatex fibre flow is excellent is you can get hold of it
