lo all,im looking for a slc for a concrete floor needs to go to 30mm depth in one hit,any recommendations peeps? usually use fibreplan but i dont think it goes that deep in a oner

i thought fibreplan went up to 50mm? I did imagine that?

I Believe Ultra do a product that goes to 50mm in one hit.

Ardex Arditex is a 2 part, and you can add sharpings.

my mistake 3-10mm in one hit... i'm sure it said more

Weber flex SLC.. 50mm one hit.. also fibre enhanced.

Fibre plan is only 10mm..

I used Palace single recently at a cattery, nice stuff.

i get mine from builder centre, forget the make, if you use it with the latex additive you can use to 30 mill but with water it's 10 mill.

Levelflex by TA will go from 0mm to 50mm, sorry I don't have a link. Good stuff (fibre)

Ultra's is pretty good gear, used it a few times and no complaints.

I'v used Ultra, Stonefix and Mira X-plan, all can be poured upto 50mm in 1 hit.

About £20-25 for a 25kg bag, all good!:

Levelflex is a good one by tilemaster, or you could use others mixed with 3mm aggregate chippings, see manufacturers specs by Ardex, F Ball, Laybond to name a few others.

Would opt for webber, lovely product & great price

Webber Flex SLC here too, done a few upto 50mm no probs

Used to Norcros pro 50 today... trial run of it... not really impressed..

Plan it? from Topps up to 50mm in one go and goes hard in a couple of hours. used it a few times and had no problems. I think its about £25 a 25 kg bag.

use insulation board a lot lot cheaper and you can tile next day

weber floor flex is about half the price of that and is a great leveller.

do the maths

1.6 kg per sq m per mm

eg

3.0 x 3.0 room size

hang on i need my calc

9 sq m room size

1.6 x 9 = 14.4 kg

14.4 kg x 30 = 432kg

432kg / 23 kg = 18 or 19 bags

19 bags * £ 20 = £ 380 ish

insulation boards

6 ' x 3' = 1.67 sq m per board

6 boards 30mm thick + adhesive £ 250 ish and a lot easier on the back

if and if you dont get them level then skim over the lot with a coat of slc

please note the above is only rough but you get my gist

As suggested Ultra does the job up to 50mm, used a dozen or so times and seems pretty good - certainly no complaints from me anyway. Good price from Topps if you have a trade account with them.

Only problem with your Maths is the weber they are on about is £11 plus vat, think the Norcros is similar but I've not used that one.

Same as, Ultra.

ultra etc are good or if you need that depth and want speed you can use Ardex A 35 mix 1-4 with good quality screed sand/grit ardex replaces portland. it is used semi dry and sets for tiling in 3 hours.

well at that price it makes a differance

but i would still prefer to put down 6 boards than 18 bags of slc

most i have done in one hit was 36 with three of us not nice

The Webber is excellent SLC with fibres.
But at 50mm its going to be expensive whichever you use.

Id go the boards , should work out quicker/cheaper once labour is factored in .

double post sorry
