Latex floor ?

[Gazzer]

Recently I saw a floor , the client said it was a Latex floor, with wet UFH.

Who ever laid it supplied some epoxy primer to use before tiling. Having never come across a latex floor I am assuming to treat it as an Anhydrite or Gyvlon screed ????

Mind you so much for these floor being flatter as over the 7.5m length it dropped 10mm :yikes:

Tiles are 600x600 Travertine.

a latex floor is just 2-part self leveling screed i thought. so dot just prime it with APD or equivalent and thats it ?

 

[Gazzer]

NO this is a full screed not a levelling compound.

 

[Minesacarling]

ah sorry mate, never heard of that. just had a quick search on google an only found the leveling compound. theres always someone on here with the right answer though

You dont know how happy that has made me Dave. I thought I was being dumb.

 

[DHTiling]

Is it not just a latex additive that has been used.?

 

[Gazzer]

I really dont know Dave. Client was away when it was done so he doesnt know. Its a very uniform colour light grey. Has the feel of levelling compound but the client seems to think it was pumped in and was quite deep to cover pipes.

I know that some Cement based pourable screeds are highly modified for wet heating.. Al will know as these screeds are mostly new to us compared to europe..

Hoping the client will get back to me with questions I asked.
