hardi backer and levelling compund
Hi,
A quick one, Looked at a job yesterday, been prepped already 'floor boards, hardibacker and topped with UFH'.
Theres a slight dip in the middle of floor, no bounce, just a dip.
Is it possible to apply weber floor flex over the lot to level it out? Only approx 4mm dip.
Like I say it all seems solid and fit correctly, just a dip that should have been rectified at the start, but was not.
Thanks fellas.

Re: hardi backer and levelling compund
You may find Weber floor flex has a min depth of 10mm. Have a look at Mapei Fibreplan, it's always best to SLC UFH in my opinion though to be honest 4mm isn't much of a dip and could easily be dealt with by your adhesive when laying your tiles.

Re: hardi backer and levelling compund
Over what size area is the 4mm dip?

Re: hardi backer and levelling compund
Cheers pal, sorry typo in original, dont know where 4mm came from. Typing in a rush. its around 9mm at its worst over a 1.8m length. That and the fact the ufh is uncovered explains why Im want to level over. Just making sure its possible over hardibacker.
Thanks matey.

Re: hardi backer and levelling compund
I believe Russ is correct that Weber Flex needs min 10mm. Mapei Renovation screed should be suitable for your needs, I believe that this has min of 4mm.
