    Default Latex floor ?

    Recently I saw a floor , the client said it was a Latex floor, with wet UFH.

    Who ever laid it supplied some epoxy primer to use before tiling. Having never come across a latex floor I am assuming to treat it as an Anhydrite or Gyvlon screed ????

    Mind you so much for these floor being flatter as over the 7.5m length it dropped 10mm

    Tiles are 600x600 Travertine.

    NO this is a full screed not a levelling compound.

    I really dont know Dave. Client was away when it was done so he doesnt know. Its a very uniform colour light grey. Has the feel of levelling compound but the client seems to think it was pumped in and was quite deep to cover pipes.
