I just think companies invent these products and then dream up a spec without testing properly .

HI Julian, I would be interested to know who you would consider a better option for a low profile retro fit. There are so many companies out there its difficult to know which ones are good - Wunda look a reasonable price but tiling straight onto the boards makes me a little nervous./
Thanks for any help on this.

I have no experience in this but Maybe you should consider design and longevity before price .
Your project us going to be expensive anyway . Maybe spending a bit more on a system you feel happy with is the way to go after all doing it twice is really expensive

I am tiling one at the moment. It hasn't been an easy ride but the builder has told me to go ahead and tile it with my preferred choice of materials.
Basically I have primed it thoroughly, added a flexible slc then put a crack mat on and then tiled.
So far so good and all appears very well stuck.
I still have a few doubts but using quality products eases my mind.
If it does debond then in theory the floor should still be ok due to the crack mat acting as a floating membrane.
I will post some photos when i get home tonight.

Ideally i want a low profile system as its a retro fit and i don't want to add much height to the existing concrete floor. I'm not fussed paying more for a better product but as there are so many on the market I'm not sure which is best. Wunda seem to have goo market reviews and NuFlow are more expensive but paying more doesn't always equate to better.

Okay great to know - i think i was going to put a crack mat on it too - although the instructions just say tile straight on. You will have to let me know how it goes. Yeah i hear you have to be thorough with the priming as the aluminium can react and create bubbles.

Personally i wouldn't use wundafloor .
Any suggestions of any other low profile systems you would consider?
