slc

Quick couple of questions 1) i need to construct a makeshift perimeter dam to contain my SLC, will a cheap silicone caulk be ok to run all the way round the room and will it peel off the set SLC? 2) the SLC is going on to insulation board and the boards need priming - i have a bottle of...

What kind of depth of fibre slc on top of wet ufh pipes

Have a 6mtr by 5mtr garage floor that has been concreted 6 months and now they want it self levelled and tiled , Any recommendations on what slc & tiles too use that could take the weight of a car ?? Garage is out of level around 1/2 an inch in places . :thumbsup:

Hiya Anyone know of a good cheap slc for an outdoor terrace about 50m2 :thumbsup:

Ok, everything going to plan so far after a mammoth day yesterday laying the marmox boards and ufh mats. They've been glue gunned into position as well as using the peelable stickers. now can I just say that I think every tiler in the country should receive free massages on the NHS?? Freakin...

Quick question - after installing marmox and taping, do I need to trowel joints with adhesive or anything before slc or is fibreglass tape enough?

What's the best way to contain slc around the edge of rooms and across doors? ive seen some use foam strips, some use wood and some use expanding foam. what do you guys use?

....can you lay SLC over hardi once its glued and screwed on wooden floor to get it spot on as some T&G floors are a bumpy and can never seem to get the 6mm hardi spot on...

hi guys, have prepped my bathroom for tiling after using this forum as a guide. i have screwed all floorboards down tight, sbr primed and adhesive and screwed hardiebacker. while screwing the hardibacker down I noticed that the floor is not flat, it has a slope down to the middle, there is no...

Hi All, after a short time off the tools my first job back and im having a head scratching moment:lol:. I was looking at a concrete flagstone hallway in a house approx 100 years or there abouts, the flags are uneven and far from level in anyway however quite stable. They are approx 1-1.5inches...

Hi, Just a quick question to double check if I'm thinking right on this one. Concrete floor + Ceramic tiles. Thought I could get costs down by using a standard non-flex adhesive. I've levelled some areas using a non-flex SLC, Mapei Ultraplan ECO. So can I still go with a non-flex adhesive? or...

I have posted this type of slc method before, just thought I would repeat it if I have got the pics right, dots set by laser runners made from 3-1 compo plus polymer and rapid set adhesive.

Hi to all at TF - seems like a friendly place! New ensuite has enclosed shower so the 2sqm of trav should not be subject to water continuously except for wet feet etc... The SLC is over elec UFH, over 10mm marmox (glued and screwed) boards to 18mm WBP ply at 200mm centres onto noggin'd and...

OK - a technical question... probably been asked a lot but here we go...2sqm floor in an ensuite shower-room. 45x30cm travertine tiles to go on floor. Substructure is 18mm WBP ply (primed on back and sides) onto noggin'd and shuttered floor joists, screwed at 200mm centres. Then 10mm Marmox...

I am about to put some SLC down over a kitchen floor approx 16sqm. Just need some advice on the best way to approach this. ie section off the floor into a grid (2x2m) and pour until required depth reached and then move onto the next or is there another better way.Maybe put down some battens...

With having a pre existing bitumen adhesive in the kitchen for the old marley tiles (which are removed), I am going to use Arditex NA self levelling compound to cover it. Question is, do I need to prime the slc (once its cured) with a SBR primer before i stick down the insulation boards for the...

Hi guys, I came with another problem. I use mapei Ultraplan renovation screed to self level my floor with cable UFH. And now I found hairline cracks in it. Does it mean my subfloor was not good enought and I can start again or is it normal. Subfloor is WBP 18mm, mapei ultraflex, 6mm insulation...

I was wondering what you guys would do in this situation. I have a 30mm trayfromer which will be fitted at joist level most likleyan Orbry as the drain offset is about right to get around the joists.The problem i was looking it was how to install the UFh loose wire and still come level with...

Going to a job tomorrow where the floor is out of level by about 30mm over 2 metres. Ufh and self levelling (which hasnt levelled anything) have already been laid. Can I dry screed over the top? I know thus will slow heat up time but the customer just wants it sorted

i have a job that requires laying 800 x 600 tiles. weber thick bed adhesive is about the same price as a decent SLC, so why not just use thick bed adhesive and tile the floor level as you go rather than use SLC to level a floor? it is quicker (i can start tiling today), requires less priming...
