Tiling onto Ply, can it be a success? - Tile Advice

[On one]

It used to be the case(not sure now) that you couldn't add Bal GT1 admix to an already flexible grout like Superflex.

So ... unfortunately I can't take the Ultimate S2 back.

Apologies misread first sentence, you don’t have to answer obviously, why?

Setaflex will be under £200, you can flog ultimate on ebay if you have to, you can easily recover half your costs of setaflex.
You may even find someone on here who would want it for the right money.

The cost of the failure would be astronomical in comparison.

It was ordered through a friend who placed a larger order on a house build and so can't return them.

So I'm thinking I will get an S1 adhesive. What S1 would people advise? and do CTD/Topps tiles stock it?

Thanks again.

Your correct, needs to be standard wide joint grout.

Do not go to Topps.
Regular CTD users here can advise on a choice from there.
And yes they sell numerous S1 class adhesives.

Oh, So I can take back the GT1.

What's more flexible/suitable, standard wide joint with GT1 or superflex?

Tiling area is 38m2, How many bags are we thinking with S1? .. I had 14 of the S2.

WHY DO YOU HAVE WOODEN HANDLES ON PANS.
ANSWER BECAUSE WOOD IS AN INSULATOR.

take up all the wood and replace with 2 layers of backer board 90 degrees to each other both adhered to the screed floor and the other to the 1st layer of backerboard. this will allow better heat transference so reducing you soon to be sky high heating bills if you have wood as the layer above your ufh,and also reducing your 100% chance of failure due to the ply or wood.

 

[AD1]

The heating has been installed for 1 year already and works perfectly. Heating bills have went down, floors are warm to touch even with laminate flooring. I realise backer board would be better to tile on than ply hence why I am getting advice and hence the title of the thread.

Can someone respond to my previous comment on the correct adhesive from CTD?

I am now going to return the BAL grout for standard wide joint.

Thanks.
