Fibre slc thickness on wet ufh
Search the forum,
No probs, I'll post them in this thread as well, with a step by step installation process.
I had a lengthy chat with one of their tech team before I started the job,they are very clued up on the products that need to be used and, to be fair, the floor is rock solid as a result of using the recommended products. They knew all about ditra and S1/S2 adhesives so, had obviously tried and tested their product.
Ash, cement boards must be glued & screwed to the substrate,
How will he achieve this with ufh?
moment of madness mate lol. was thinking with the slc down fixing the boards down through the insulation to the substrate would provide a suitable tiling surface... but thinking about it if the slc has nothing to cling to it is not very effective at all is it.
what is that perimeter in the room by the levels bri? and did you have to slc the corners again on top of the ditra?
I didn't install the drain. It was there first, UFH fitted around it. The ditra was SLC'd before tiling I think the bits in the picture are leftover adhesive from sticking the mat down. Every process had to be very accurate so that the tiles ended up flush with the drains and the falls into them worked.
I can't reveal my secrets, I'd have to kill you
It's really hard to explain, I do create the falls with the SLC, but do it all in one hit using packers to get the falls in. The packers are put in first.
It's easier to explain with pictures. I'll try and get some the next time I do a similar job.
Been back today and got a few pics of the finished room just for you Ash

And on this way ! Wonda floor are far more informative and have got there spec bang on !! Speed fit needs to sort there stall out !!

Annoyingly, I don't have a pic of the finished floor! I was there again today and the floor is in perfect condition still, it's only been down a couple of months but, good signs.
what is that perimeter in the room by the levels bri? and did you have to slc the corners again on top of the ditra?
