Floor suitable for tiling?

Hi Guys

I have what I would call a “concrete screed” floor. However, in my investigations around wanting to tile it myself I have come across various issues/questions relating to an Anhydride screed. From what I’ve seen in pics I don’t believe that’s what I have. It looks different and my floor doesn’t have any ‘laitance’ which I believe is a sign of an Anhydride screed.

Can someone look at this pic of my floor and confirm? My understanding is that if this is simply a concrete floor I’m likely to just need to prime it before tiling rather then have to scuff/abrade it?

thanks for the help.

I’d say concrete from the pictures. Looks like some lignite in it as well.

Thanks. So would I be right in thinking I don’t need to scuff/abrade the floor? Just scrape off any paint blobs and then prime it with whichever primer the adhesive manufacturers recommend??

Thanks again

Yes mate. Mix primer 3-1

Cheers man. Can I ask if you think I’m biting off more than I can chew? I’m a competent DIYer. Built fireplaces, knocked down and built stud walls, put in loft hatches, tiled kitchen splash backs, fitted kitchen units, laid carpet, vinyl, Lino etc. I’m thinking I can tile a floor. Watched numerous videos and it “looks” straight forward if done carefully and methodically. Pretty sure I’m starting with a flat concrete floor, will use the right primer, adhesive, notched trowel size, levelling system. What can go wrong? LOL
Got 46sq mt to lay. Think my biggest concern is cutting them as porcelain is so tough. Was going to hire a wet cutter.
Am I missing some hidden impending disaster someone in my shoes is going to encounter and wish they’d got a tiler in?!?!

Like anything in life. Take your time and you will be ok.
