job on caber flooring,with wet system ufh underneath - TilersForums.com

[DHTiling]

No just single part, the adhesive is basicly to take up any voids created when screwing down etc...or within the substrate..

had this issue a week ago , a floor that had been put down a year ago by a nother tiler had popped,its in a wet room
with restrictions on height to the mosaics in the shower former,porcelain tiles up to it need to come up and be relayed but i
dont know whats under there, i suspected they had been blobbed , i now know they were installed on caber, phoned bal tech and they said go ahead with bal fast flex, in normal circumstances i would hardi but trying to match existing, whats the solution ?

I don't disagree about the fact of re-sheeting. As I said, I always re-sheet where possible but if there is a height restriction, 22mm P5 with 400 centres is sufficient enough to be load baring for any tile & is suitable for UFH. I agree, it's not ideal & I avoid where possible, more so in a wet room where I would only re-sheet & tank. My debate was more the fact people saying you cannot tile on Caberfloor when you can, excluding surrounding circumstances of course

imo you should not tile directly on to caber boards it clearly states in bs 5385 part 3 that they should be over laid as to give the rigidity for a tiled surface.
i am also of the understanding that the resins in theses boards dont allow the addy to bond . causing tiles to debond eventually
