Mapei Keraflex Maxi Great Bed Thickness

[DavieA]

Have a corner of a room that slopes off and Im aware mapei quote that keraflex maxi will bed to 15mm, now what Im wondering is that a finished bed thickness ie once tile has been layed or bed as in trowel notch size ie 10mm round notch trowel?:mad2:

 

[DHTiling]

It is the max finished bed that it will safely go to.. so yes 15mm thick..

 

[DavieA]

Quality thanks Dave.

Havnt saw many 30mm trowels though?:smilewinkgrin:

 

[White Room]

You can get 20mm's

Plus you can add depth by back buttering..

Why not just screed the low area flat before tiling?:smilewinkgrin:

Might be a job you turn upto blind and only have limited time for tiling, so a thick bed adhesive helps..

I thought DavieA had seen this job??
Fiberplan then Keraquick would probs still be quicker than waiting for Keraflex Maxi to dry - IMO..:smilewinkgrin:

Kev.. not fibre plan...

The new renovation slc is half price..

It does take a loooooong time to go off.

Yeah Merelecollins I have saw the floor in question al be it it was a few weeks ago. The building is an oldie too being renovated but I remember the floor as a whole was quite flat altho I think it may be running off toward the back corner and was just wondering if I could build up with keraflex as Ive not got spare time to lay and wait for slc so would like to avoid it if poss.

Each to their own mate

I always try my best to get a flat surface before tiling, rather than messing around building tiles up, etc... For the sake of nipping in to the job for an hour or so the day/night before tiling, I think it's worth it:cool2:

 

[DavieA]

Point taken.

Just I've never used slc before and don't want to balls it up!

Anyone any tips if I need to go down that route?

 

[White Room]

Depending what your laying onto and how thick, just follow manufacturers instructions

 

[DavieA]

Thanks I Will do, ply down at mo so imagine slc will go down over ply where needed then once dry ill lay the dural and tile as normal from that?

In general What thickness is possible?

 

[Scott]

Here you go DavieA Take a look at this very recent thread about using SLC.

Thickness will depend on the product you buy. I believe Mapei fibreplan is good for up to 10mm
