Hello Folks,
I need to sort my floor out before I can lay tiles on it so seeking advice from the knowledge base out here.
I have floorboard on top of joist. On top of the floorboards, I have wooden battens placed on average of 360mm - 400mm centre. Wet UFH has been run across the wooden battens and then its been covered with pug screed / dry screed / biscuit screed. Old tiles were laid onto a very thin layer of SLC on the screed.
As I have taken out the old tiles, I have cleared the previous SLC. This has taken out small chunks of the dry screed as well. I intend to overlay NMP onto the dry screed (given its thermal conductivity) and then lay tiles on top.
My question is whether I can use the 12mm or do I have to have a minimum of 18mm NMP? Also, do I fill the small portion where screed has come out or need not worry?
I am in a severe time crunch here as we are living in the property and have young kids.
Appreciate your response.
Thanks.
