A mate of mine lays amtico flooring, he puts latex down on every floor then the following day go's over it with a hand grinding block then starts laying the tiles, i have seen him fixing them and they look just as easy to fix as ceramics...He gets £200 per day, a brand new van every 3 years starts at 9 and finishes at 4. Anybody fix these

LOL nice one PJ

The latex he uses is probably Mapei Latexplan ! I find it odd that the soft flooring guys go for a bag and a bottle (2 part Mix ) levelling compound yet ceramics favour water based (1 part)

My next neighbour had amtico fitted - he had the floor levelled prior to the installation - god what a stink - he apologised for the smell which lasted days - but the floor was the dogs danglies - a big floor that he shelled out over £5000 for - 25 year guarantee though. Pity his marriage didn't last that long - they split up and sold the house 2 years later.

Amtico is for life not just Xmas (or a marriage)
