Large Format Tiles on slightly uneven SLC - TilersForums.com

[skymole]

I have been converting a room into a bathroom/wetroom.
Floor is suspended with ply, wediboard & ufh.
I have just done a Mapei Fiberplan SLC pour to cover the heating mats.

I have been checking the levels today and the floor isnt as even as I'd hoped - there are low points, the worst of which is about 5mm. (using a 7ft straight edge)

The proposed tiles are 600 x 400 flamed granite.
The area is about 16 sq metres.

I was wondering what the best aproach would be now.
Could I use a preliminary tile adhesive coat to take out the worst of the low areas - this would obviously mean feathering to nothing?

Any help greatly apreciated
Thanks

Hi and welcome..

Just feather the low spots in with some Flexi adhesive, then tile once set..

Or throw another coat of SLC over it all.....

as above, Just done something very simular, your adhesive will cover it, just make sure tile is level after :]
