Hi all,
was wondering if I could get some advice from the pros here on preparing a concrete floor that has bitumen down (left over from removal of parquet flooring).
The pictures below will show what I'm up against.
The bitumen is around is 2-3mm thick in some areas but less elsewhere. I have tried to remove as much as I can but its an extremely slow process as it doesn't come up easily!
I've been reading up on this forum and it seems like the solution may be one of the following:
Option 1:
Lay down slc designed to work over bitumen (Arditex NA) - problem is I cant find anywhere locally that sells this stuff (only available online it seems)
Option 2:
Brush a sbr slurry over the bitumen, allow to dry before applying slc over the area. Allow to dry then tile.
Questions:
It looks like I will have to go with option 2 as I cant get hold of Arditex NA.
1) In regards to the slurry, can anyone confirm the correct mixture and volumes to use and what brand/products to use to create the slurry?
2) In regards to the slc, can anyone suggest a good brand/product (mapei Ultraplan slc -screwfix ??)
