anhydrite screeds !!!!!!!!!!

[hillhead]

Anhydride screeds are poured i believe,they look a lot like a levelling compound i believe too.
I have come across this screed 3 times since last summer i think,lol.
I noticed how soft it is too?
I used a wire brush attachment on my grinder to scratch the surface off,primed with primer G and tiled away! no probs at all and so flat its unreal,it would make a bad tiler look good.....:lol:

How the world has changed.

My first venture into tiling was as a new home owner in the early 1980's. The choice of tiles was - 6" or (the new fangled and terribly modern) 150mm tiles being sold in the DIY sheds. You either tiled on plaster or cement. Sub-strata prep was largely unheard of. Adhesive was Unibond or (er) Great Mills own make. Oh it was all so easy.

Thank heavens for Tiling Forums in 21st Century. Everything is so complex now, you need an HND in chemistry to become a real professional tiler!

Fair play to all you guys with the experience the rest of us lack - anhydrite screeds? Whatever next!

Spot on there mate, I have often said we need to be chemist's as well as tilersgood job we like a challenge:lol:
