Tiling to gypsum based substrates/backgrounds. - TilersForums.com

Exactly. My confusion was to why they advised 2 part because it's anhydrite. Concerned me as they didn't know their own products so I lost faith and went for gypsum.

In CTD in Glasgow they have a load of leaflets sitting from Weber explaining procedures to tile to anhydrite screeds, I've never seen one getting picked up & the pile never seems to go down any!!!

After past experiences with reps , I would not take a reps advice ever again lol.. Most are new to the game and TBO ain't got a clue.

This forum is by far the best place for advice & would ask on here before getting advice from reps..

what products did you use before gypsum adhesives ? And do you use Anhyfix on walls that are skimmed ? , if not then can I ask why PLZ ?

Don't recommended a mat unless it's stone.

On the few occasions I've encountered a gypsum screed I've always used cement based addy. I've always sanded and primed the floor first and never had a problem. Equally, I prime plastered walls before using cement based addy.

Same here.

Have only ever fitted porcelain to it and never decoupled again at the builders request. Would do if fitting stone though
