Thick Bed - Thin Bed , Thinset etc

[poynton phil]

I agree with mags, i'v been tiling for 3yrs now do good work (so i'm told) but dont know the meaning of all the termination, or the proper way to do everything, that is one of the reasons for this forum is here is to give help and advise people who need it. Whether they hang out in the arms or elsewhere

Mags,

I was cleaning out some folders of pics on my computer and I remembered your question about what mud set is and why it is used. THis is from a job that I recently posted here on the forum. This old house had funky floor framing, and the high side of the subfloor was about 1" higher than the lowside (in only 4 feet). We mudded the floor and you can see the cross section of the mud bed in the doorway. This could have been done with SLC but it would have used up a fortune in material, and I'd rather charge for labor for a mud bed than spending money on expensive SLC.

I hope this helps to clarify what some of these terms mean.
