Hi all,
i have finally bitten the bullet and dug up a failed screed floor in a kitchen which i need to get ready to tile.
I'm going to put 60cm x 60cm large format tiles down so floor has to be spot on, and it has to match level with adjacent room that will be part of expanded kitchen.
I want to ask for advice on the best type of screed to use i.e. Standard sand and cement 4:1 or some type of latex flowed screed.
Aside from that will i need to use a SLC and decoupling mat across the entire space to make absolutely sure of level uniform surface thats going to absorb any small movement?
Floor area is roughly 3m x 3m x 80 mm deep over a 150mm slab thats sound.
Advice appreciated.
