Polypipe (Fixed Overlay) UFH

[Old Mod]

Sorry wasn't making myself clear Ali
What I was trying to say was, that in order to be able to use SLC, It has to be boarded first.
That's if you were to follow their recommendations.
I just wanted to remind u that Tracy's was Polypipe, and u knew we were unable to SLC straight over it.
That way I didn't have to outwardly disagree with Bri!
Whether their method is right or wrong, we certainly know what we did, works.
It's been almost 18months now and I saw Tracy only the other week, and u know she would of said something if their were any problems.

Couldn't you overboard with Hardie, forget the SLC, ditra then tile?

Agreed @3_fall it worked. But we had to be able to SLC that because of how badly the boards were put in in the first place.

@Chalker so if these boards were fixed to the substrate, they were level and good to go without needing any over boarding or slc. You would still use ditra? If the only thing you anticipate the stone expanding, what you using the ditra for?

Yes Ali I know, the only point i was trying to make was that Polypipe won't agree to latex over their pipes!
That's why I explained myself this morning.
I wasn't suggesting your preparation, I was saying if u were to use those components on your floor they would need to be applied in a different order!
According to Polypipe.
Other UFH companies are happy for SLC to go on to their pipe work.
And I'm sure TTA recommend a decoupler be applied to a stone floor no matter what substrate.

so how many tilers work for poly pipe or any other wet uth company .so how have they gained there knoledge .how many diffrent tiles have they tested and adhesives decouplers .none would be my guess. leave it to the tile test dummys .next time ask for a copy of there test reports.on the tiles adhesive decouplers .they have tested .could be a long wait

Don't disagree Ray but without their instructions how can I cover myself!

you cant with them or with out them .but you do if you are working from there test results .if they have none .its a game of roulette .all you can then do is take pictures as you go along showing prouducts used with a time and date copy of news paper will do should match up to dates on job .

 

[Old Mod]

Well I always take extensive photographic evidence of everything I do as a matter of course Ray, so that's a good thing.
We are always the ones faced with the impossible, but I do everything I can to at least give myself half a chance, if it comes to a fight!
That's all I know how to do.
I'm completely self taught, not a single letter to my name, just my wits!

Haha! Bump!
