Busy on doing a kitchen floor at the moment which needed levelling with slc but I've obviously done it wrong as I'm having a nightmare gettin the tiles level.Any advice please?

 

[GazTech]

Have you started tiling at the high point in the room?

 

[DHTiling]

Did you check the floors levels before putting slc down and did you put enough down...what gauge of trowel are you using...10 mm would be fine for floors..a solid bed one if you can....dave...

 

[cct]

No don't think I did

 

[GazTech]

starting to tile at the low points is bad news....when starting at high point you can build tiles up around it for required levels....Gaz

maybe i didn't put enough down i bought just enough to cover the area .should i have gone over?

 

[DHTiling]

if you haven't put to many tiles down you could lift them and apply more slc to low spots..by checking with your level to see where these are...or you could switch to a pourable thick bed adhesive but this isn't easy to work with if you haven't been tiling long.....dave...

what do you suggest i do about the lips ? were talking about 1/1.5mm .

 

[GazTech]

The levelling compound should be used to level up to a high point not onto it.Just by applying all over it may just be a thin layer over an uneven floor,no change in the surface at all.

how much of the floor have you tiled?...........dave..
