latex leveler or not

[poynton phil]

i'm puting ufh down on to concrete for the first time next week and was wondering what would be the best slc to use, should it be a latex one or not, there will be insulation boards between concrete and ufh. Any advice appreciated.

Try Mapei Fiberplan

cheers grumpy, i was going to use that, but was told that i had to use a 2 part latex leveler, but i suppose that the ufh supplier was making the most out of me.

Mapei do a few levellers suitable for your job...

The best levellers are one part, on this application i would use weber niveplus about £15 a bag from Tile Town in Derby, spot on product and rapid setting.

are cheap self-levellers e.g Wickes a bad idea? used it and seemed O.K

I always find that the best thing to do when approaching a Wickes Centre is to quickly drive past
