Slc, What's Your Preferred Brand?

@widler what is that float/squeegee leaning on the fire place?
The tile master 30 looks the same colour as the ultra which is very good, but i prefer the level it 2 for flow

There will clearly be no agreement on this matter.


..........But, on the other hand, if it works for you and you are happy with this method, then no heated words exchanged on the forum will change that. If you are happy to stand by your fixing methods and happy that it is time effective, cost effective, will not fail and that the adhesive manufacturer you use would approve of said fixing method then don't let any man on here tell you otherwise. After all, it's your customers, your tiling & your business.

Thanks for that.

Ps I'd used Webber the day before, good stuff, but no where near as good as this stuff, flows like a pint down my neck on a Friday tea time

Does flow lovely the Tilesmaster 30, as good as levelflex is, this flows far better imo. Also agree we above statements re Ultra, brilliant gear. Also like to add I'd rather level a floor any day than pack tiles up as shown in pictures. Obviously it's necessary sometimes but I'd much rather tile to a smooth flat subfloor.

Wouldn't we all, as we would with walls.

It'd make life a lot easier if all walls and floors were completely flat and level I agree.

But it adds to the joy of the job when not I suppose lol.

Joy of the job! Christ, I started at 16, I'm now 38 and I often despise the job!

This thread puts me in mind of the Americans with their 'mud' fixing.

 

[widler]

It's a 4ft speed skim, used by skimmers on sites, I bought one for the lads, they could not get used to it ,it's rubbish on skim, works a absolute treat on self levelling though 🙂

Mapei ultra plan for me, great flow, long working time. Used with spiked shoes pinleveller and spike roller and your gonna get great floors

No doubt us Americans use some thin sets at the top of their range. Many manufactures make thinset that allows you to go up to 3/4 of an inch, and many designers and builders feel that it is cheaper for us to set tile that way instead of giving us a proper floor, or paying for us to make it proper. I like Mapei or custom building products for slc, but as american as I am, some of the floors pictured in this thread and the methods to set/fix the tile are scary. If it works for you, cheers, but there are better ways. Some of you guys do beautiful work, some of you have been laying the same turd for many years.. Thanks for allowing me to participate, no offense meant by my words.

@wilder what sort of av thickness was the slc and how long before you start, setting the tiles. Cheers D
