slc

Guys, the price diff betwene these is quite large! Would the rennovation screed be ok for UFH on a cement backer board (backer board on 18mm ply screwed to joists) or should I use the fibreplan BAL fibrebase is also another option but still pricey! thanks Dave

Hi all do you put primer on slc before tiling? many thanks

Hi, Looking for a place to order sum slc(fibre plan) as i think i might have missed the cut off for next weeks delivery for tile giant does mapei deliver direct? I need it for next tuesday? Cheers Paul

Hi, first off, what a great site! Currently doing a tiling course and I'm on summer holiday so can't ask my tutor. I'm sure you guys could help. I'm leveling a concrete floor next week using Mapei Ultraplan Renovation Screed. The customer phoned me to order the materials and under pressure...

SLC'd the UFH cable in my bathroom and toilet yesterday, and will be tiling it in a week's time or so. My question is whether, having SLC'd the cable, I need to ensure that I don't have any voids between the top of the SLC and the underside of the tiles. I'm assuming that it's important to not...

Hi all, A job coming up 50m2, mentioned in a earlier post, doing a bit of self levelling, Sub in concrete base, perfectly flat, overlay with 10mm thermal boards, then ufh matting, then slc. Any tips for application of slc over this large area? Any potential probs? Only ever covered upto 20m2...

does anyone know which shops stock the above? i can't find any stockists on the usual shops, tile giant, topps etc. cheers

Just a general question.. When tiling floors I tend to negotiate small deviations (-4mm over 1.8m) in subfloor adjusting how much adhesive as I think most of us do. How many of you guys just pour slc regardless just to give you the perfect level floor? You might think this would be an extra...

HI First post on this forum. Experienced DIYer but first wetroom. 5mx2m 1st floor, wooden joist, 25mm ext. ply. 20mm Marmox with showerlay. elec UFH. Plan is to lay the showerlay on a bed of c2fs1 tile adhesive (larson) to stand proud of the rest of the floor, so I can lay the UFH and SLC...

Hi Everybody, I am having some extensive work done in my back garden and have now reached the final stages before laying porcelain tiles outside. My builder has asked to me to get in a 2 part Latex levelling compound to prepare the substrate for tiling. I am fortunate enough to have a family...

Hullo peeps. Recovering from my gall bladder op which would have been a week tops I recon but one of my port site wounds opened up and got infected so still healing after 2 weeks! Also got bad tendonitus in my elbow (tennis elbow) which I think was bought on by the 60x60 job I did recently so...

I hope this in the right forum, yesterday I spent about 5 hours prepping a kitchen floor with slc. I managed to get it super flat, today I started tiling using a 300x300 un-calibrated split slate, supplied by the customer, sourced from a company who's name begins with W. This slate varied in...

Can anyone advise please. I’m in the process of installing UFH in a shower room W/C, I have built up off the concrete sub floor using levelling compound, 25mm of XPS board, 6mm of hardy board and then tanking compound followed by taped loose wire UFH cable. I was going to tile on top directly...

Well, I finally got around to sorting out the floor today. But not before I went shopping. Firstly to Tesco and then Trago Mills (Liskeard) I was on the look out for some kind of long armed spreader. These are what I ended up with. On the left is a £1.50 squeegy bought from Tesco and...

Just some advice please guys. following on from my previous thread I've reset all my markers on the floor. I used screws not packers. To try and make the job easier tomorrow I poured and levelled one bag of SLC to sort out the area that wasn't covered last time, and I intend to level out as...

No, it has not been a good day for me. I did everything I was told. I spent hours over this and I've still ended up with a complete pile of crap! It didn't help that, despite working out exactly how much I needed and rounding up the number in bags. I've ended up with an area of floor...

anyone know of a slc that can be laid and 2/3 hours later, tiled on.

Well fellas. Ive posted a couple of threads regarding which slc to a depth of up to roughly 30mm and ive sourced Dunlop large format adhesive which is also suitable as a leveler up to 25mm. At the shop i got it they advised me to bulk it out with sharp sand otherwise it would never maintain its...
