Hi, wasent sure if this is the right topic but surely people experienced with rendering walls should be able to help me here.
I am about to lay a semi-wetroom screed over a previously poured concrete floor. When I say "semi-wetroom" I mean there will be a wetroom shower area but due to the small area (86cm x 96cm) it will probably still need some kind of shower door.
I have already removed some additional material from around the drain to allow for a thicker screed but it will still be as thin as 1cm in places. I am aware a very thin screed is prone to crack but given the very small area and the fact that the whole screed will then be tiled with large cut tiles, I was hoping a good job of bonding the screed (PVA + Cement slurry) to the existing floor will be sufficient.
Does anyone have any advice how to ensure a thin (between 2.5 and 1cm) screed (covered by large tiles) does not start breaking up?
Cheers in advance.
