[Boxtiling]

Hi there am wondering if anyone on here has tiled on to the wunda floor system with the foil boards and if so can yous tell me best way to tile it am not to sure a want to do the job as there’s not a lot of good feed back any information would help One of your fellow tilers 👍

I think @3_fall is up to speed on this as he is most things but your primary problem is the adhesive reacting with the foil and creating gas which in turns makes your adhesive like an aero bar so you need to make sure you isolate your adhesive from the foil . I would suggest you get a written method statement from your adhesive supplier of choice and then come back to us

A have spoke to Mapei they said prime it first then tile directly on to it with Mapei keribond t with isolastic which is there 2 part stuff but as usual they just say that’s what they recommend it’s over 100m so a don’t want it coming back to me if it lifts

As Jerry says above, you need a method statement, to make sure you’re covered.
I’m sure you’ll find tho that Mapei recommenced Kerabond T & Isolastic
Ultra also have a spec for it.

Priming is the most important part, as mentioned.
Personally tho, it’s not something I would touch with that spec.
there is a 6mm board supplied by WundaTrade I think, to overboard it, but, and get this, their spec is to loose lay it. 🙈
I’d want it mechanically fixed before I covered it.
Combination of cement and aluminium can create hydrogen gas, Aluminium powder is added to cement grout in industrial situation to heavy machinery platforms.
They sit the equipment on the slab with holes for the legs, they then fill with cement grout and aluminium dust, this makes the cement expand and firmly fix the legs in the slab.
A byproduct of this process is hydrogen gas.
This as far as I can tell, weakens the bond.
Those are the pitfalls from my pint of view, Mapei and Ultra are the only two companies I’m aware of that’ll spec these systems

On a floor that size I would prime with isomats supergrund resin based grit primer, use their standard set S2 AK25 to stick 6mm boards, next day mechanically fix boards to substrate and then use their S1 plus AK22.

A think over boarding is the answer and as 3fall you say make sure it mechanically fixed the other problem is the client is fitting it himself so am going to see it Monday before a actually agree to do the job as the client works in IT 🙈

Yeah they certainly don’t help, if there wasn’t so much money in diy it’d be different. 🤷🏻‍♂️

It's the glue holding the foil boards to the board which is the main area of failure I've been told by a nationwide ufh store.
Why would anyone consider using these went there is far better products out there
