I used it too! I'm only 35! When I started with the old man moo he used to ply out floor and staple expanded metal/ chicken wire to the floor then tile if I recall, last one was in '98 if memory serves. Tiled a dance floor of a nightclub in Maidenhead with it, Michelle Gayle opened the club, I spent most of the time getting coffee for the whole site from the local Wendy's!! Ah Halcyon days .........

I used to do pub refurbs all over the country years ago and I always used 8x2 expamet sheets fixed to floor boards with galv plasterboard nails then latex leveller over the top, then tiled with x7 and ardion 90. You'd have to rip the whole floor up to get it up, I went to a boozer I did 20 years ago and a large floor area of reclaimed quarries was still down and not a crack in sight and the place had been refurbed a few times since.

If it wasn't for the cost I think a lot of Tilers would still be using the combination of X7 and ardion 90.

Last time I used chicken wire was in 1976!
Gents toilets, Indian restaurant onto a t&g floor that you could see the cellar through. Put down waterproof building paper, staple nailed wire through to wood, 2 and half inch dry mix sand/cement, cement slurry back of quarries, and tapped into place.
Went back last week and the whole place has gone!

Gotta say those old ways ( where I come from) were tried and tested and were the "proper" way to do things .. then...(those floors are a ***** to remove)....totally agree about X7 and Ardion 90... Stuck like s##t to a blanket.... ....:musicalscore: "Those were the days my friend , we thought they'd ....la la la":musicalscore::musicalscore:;);)
