Substrate Raising

[Rizzle from the Portizzle]

if this is a sand and cement screed it will already have an abraded surface by its nature so you can aproach this in two ways why would i want to decouple the floor when i want it to act as one so wet slurry screed now tile knowing the tile will double the strengh laid into wet sand and cement or you could put down exspanding metal not raising the hight slurry screed then tile still bineded as one layer but with a bit more scope with dealing with the ufh

No it won't!! I would love to see the science behind some of your claims.... How does the tile double the strength laid into a wet bed. And what is the point of the expanding metal?? Think I'm going to leave this thread now before I say something I'll regret.

WHAT IS THE SUBSTRAIGHT THE UFH IS LAID IN?
TILL WE KNOW THISTHEN NO ADVICE IS RELEVENT

ok regret so regret away lucky for me here when i was at school many years ago i made sand and cement blocks then we had to test there breaking strenght by adding weight in the middle intill they broke if i did the same today made some with screed only. then some tiled. and then some tiled with exspanded metal each would prove you wrong and whats more i will do this and post pics all the way and i suggest you do the same if you are so sure.with out the know how science does not move forward only fools

and if you would like to send me 25mm x50 mm x150mm bit of your sceed i will test that to and all are welcome to test the out come with me

I love the passion we have for our jobs in life. But it's really all nothing in the grand scheme of things.

This is the sun. Our sun, as we know it. You can't even see it in this image that is an artists impression of what just our one galaxy is possibly like. We don't know what it actually looks like because we've got nothing that can see in. The sun is in one spiral 'arm' of many. And tech we fired out in the 60's wouldn't have eve reached the edge of that one spiral arm.

Let's not fall out over a floor today.

Youre right Dan.

Forget the testing Ray I know the compressive and flexural strength of our screeds so don't need you to test them for me. We already do that on a daily basis. You have you're opinions and I mine. We are both entitled to them and if they differ well it perhaps adds to the rich tapestry that is life.

well there some think here i am working on here will blow the tile world away .and at the end of the day only the truth and nothing but the truth can be proved .i will never fall out with any body who drives me to the truth they can only stand as my heroes by making me think

ok i will do my test with a 10mm tile and a 4,8mm and test from the tile and the screed .do the same and test the added strenght the tiles give your screed .why would you not want to know the answer it should give you a great selling point .every day is a leaning day for me make it the same for you

have been very busy today tilling giving glass a run for its money won hands down should finish tomorrow if left alone .and post some pics .but then i will move on to the test of screed and the tile strenght added if any one out there is going to be on site while an anhydrite screed is being laid could you send me a sample 25mm d 50mm w 150mm L it does not mater if they a bigger i can cut them down but it would not be ufair of me not to include these i would like four peices if poss or one lump i can cut down i will have them picked up or pay for postage or if you bring them in i will give you the best thin tile cutter in the world for free and train you on using it .we can all learen from this .thanks for your help in helping tiling move forward
