hi i was wondering if anyone can tell me of a good but fairly cheap slc to go onto a concrete floor. The lowest point being around 10mm from the highest point.I'm covering about 6m2 and is a kitchen. Im using ceramic tiles on top with a rapid set. I can get to a CTD however if wickes or b&q do one thats cheaper but good then i can get there. Many thanks and have a good xmas n new year everyone.

Mapei fibre plan....Or PCI hsp34...

how much am i looking for this? i do have a ctd card

The fibre plan is about £25 a bag...CTD do a weber niv one that is cheaper...be careful what you buy when going 10mm deep...

Can you not get to a Tile giant..?

no pal there isn't any round here i just looked. i'll try at ctd thatnks a lot tho mate i'll try those.

£25 per bag on concrete @10mm. Don't want to critisise but the Mapei fibre plan is well over spec for this application in my opinion. £6 per 20kg bag from any builders merchants, just throw a little sand in it.

You can add chippings to any Slc Rufus...but it is not really a method i would advise unless you have done it before or been shown how to , don't you agree.?...and get the mix wrong and it will be soft and crumble..

yeah i forgot to say ive never used it before this is the first time so would prefer to use something easy and reliable thanks

it sounds more like part of a diet , but its good SLC mate

Weber Niv at CTD will be your best bet....cheapest of the 3 i mentioned..around 15 quid or used to be..

try £23.99 from builders merchant m8.I just used the stuff from b and q and thought it was really good..cant remember the name but will post it later.

Its called SIKA and is £15.98 for a 25kg bag,covers 3m2 at 5mm depth.
It contains latex

Sika is the stuff, thought it was cheaper than £24

Mark,Sika is £15.98 FROM B AND Q ,IT WAS THE BUILDERS MERCHAn TS WHO WANTED £24 FOR A BAG.

Is this material good for going onto a mastic asphalt floor? I need to make up about 6mm so that tiles finish flush with 18mm hardwood floor covering in adjacent room. No UFH is involved. How soon after laying can it be tiled upon?

hi went for the sika self levelling compound in the end, before i lay this should i apply a pva primer that i was given for a floor i tiled but didnt use because of mixed opinions on here.It says apply a pva primer on the packaging
before i apply the compound Thanks for all the advice i've been given.

yes i would prime

Not with pva though..
