    Default self leveller

    i am just prepping a floor that is half timber half concrete. The timber floor i've ply boarded as normal with12mm ply but i've now got to screed the other half. Am i right in saying that you can use self leveller with small chippings mixed together to make the level up. Can any body recommend a suitable self leveller, cheers.

    Is the floor flat ?
    I say that because you could use Hardibacker instead.

    havent tried ultra ,a company was trying to sell it me but too pricey..is it the 1 with the fibres in??? i use mapei trade or nicobond liquid and powder.top products and value for money but you would have to add an aggregate to these to achieve 20mm in 1 pour.as for acrobase well out of the market place price wise and bal with alot of products need to sharpen their pencil
