Thank you for your question. For the bonding of a waterproof uncoupling system to concrete, we would first recommend that the concrete has a functioning DPM, is a minimum of 6 weeks old, and is clean and free from all contaminants such as plaster droppings, dirt and debris. Next, apply a primer to the concrete, we recommend Dunlop Multi Purpose Primer diluted at 1:1 by volume with clean, cold water. For bonding the uncoupling membrane, Dunlop CF03, Rapid Setting Flexible Cement based Adhesive may be used, or Dunlop CF24, Slow Setting, Flexible Cement Based Adhesive. Mix the adhesive as per instruction, (as found on the bag) and then spread on the floor using a 4mm notched trowel. Apply the membrane, such as Ardex Indortec Flexbone VA to the adhesive and depress firmly. Once installed, either of the above mentioned adhesives may be used to install the tiles. For the perfect finish, use Dunlop GX500 Flexible Wall and Floor Grout with FX90 Sealant to all corners and abutments.

@@DunlopTrade great help thanks

Great news! Glad you found this helpful 🙂

Why do you need to do that when they showed the back of the tile fully covered?

Once the Dunlop Shower Waterproofing system has been installed and is dry (min 24hours following application of the second coat), install the tiles using Dunlop CF24. It is important when installing the tiles onto fixtures such as shower trays and baths, that a small expansion gap is allowed for the application of the Dunlop FX90 Sealant. This small joint will allow for a sharp utility knife to be carefully used to cut away all excess masking tapes and applied waterproofing paste , prior to application of the silicone sealant.

Thank you for your question…. For many floor coverings and such as Tiling and LVT, it is often required to overlay the floor prior to installation to stabilise the floor or provide a more suitable platform. Although Dunlop LX360 can be used on single layer timber floors, if your floor is not suitable, or you have gaps, you may wish to consider the following. For resilient flooring, including LVT and Vinyl, overlay the floor using a minimum of 6mm Flooring Grade Ply. Apply one undiluted coat the Dunlop Multi-Purpose Primer. Alternatively, Dunlop Universal Bonding Agent may also be applied, two coats, diluted at 1:2 by volume with clean water. Then mix and install the Dunlop LX360 product. For the installation of Ceramic or Porcelain tiles, a tile backerboard is preferred, such as BAL Board 6mm. Ensure the tongue and groove floorboards are secured, and then prime with 2 x undiluted coats of Dunlop Multi-Purpose Primer before installing the Tile Backerboard using Dunlop CF03 and mechanically fix at 300mm centres. Dunlop Multi-Purpose Primer can then be used on the surface of the backerboard, diluted at 1:1 by volume with clean water, prior to mixing and installing Dunlop LX360. Please note, if the floor has excessive movement and deflection, additional preparation may be required.

Hi there, unfortunately we don't have any distribution in the US.

@@DunlopTrade Thanks.

yes, for 33x33 tile is very good adhesive.

Thank you for your question…. Firstly, any timber floor needs to be stable and free from deflection. Secondly, it is extremely difficulty for us to guarantee our system when installing over other “failed” products. It is concerning that the existing levelling compound has cracked and “come away”, this would certainly indicate excessive movement in the floor, in which case the LX-360 product may suffer a similar fate, in time. It may be prudent to overboard the existing timber floor with a 6mm tile backer board such as BAL Board 6mm. This would be installed with a thin layer of tile adhesive (using a 6mm notched trowel) such as Dunlop CF-03 and then mechanically fixed using non-corrosive screws (300mm centres). Once installed, prime the face (dull side) with Dunlop Tilers Primer pre diluted at 1:1 and then install the Dunlop LX-360 to the desired depth. At 15mm in thickness (on average) you will require approximately 22 x 20kg units. However, please note this can vary on depths required and is not inclusive of any excess you may need.

Thanks for your question. Whilst technically speaking you could use a 1mm spacer, you will find it difficult to compact the joints with such limited space. Design is of course down to personal preference, but we would suggest a 2 - 3mm spacer which is the norm when installing a metro tile.

Glad you found it helpful! Thanks for the feedback. 👍

Thank you for your enquiry, Our video content is produced using our highly experienced Technical Support Managers, who themselves are former tile installers and floor layers. As you point out, there may be the option to utilise a plastic trowel here, which may indeed minimise risk of damage to the cables, however there is nothing wrong in using a steel trowel, dependent on the experience and ability of the installer.

Any suspended timber floor needs to be securely fixed and deflection free, before installing any proprietary tiling system. On 18mm (min) suitable flooring grade plywood, providing stable and secured, the Dunlop Pro Cover product can be used, to provide lateral stress relief and anti-fracture properties. Simply install with Dunlop CF03 adhesive (using a 4mm serrated trowel), press the membrane firmly into the adhesive and tiling can begin immediately. Please be aware that Uncoupling Systems such as Dunlop Pro Cover are not designed to irradicate deflection in suspended floors. We would suggest using a 12mm Tile Backer Board (installed with manufacturers guidance) if you feel the floor requires extra rigidity. For further advice from one of our Technical Support Managers, please feel free to contact us on 01782 591120 or visit www.dunloptrade.com

The Cutter is a Rubi TS50 Plus

Cement based systems are generally “non combustible” however, not all cement based products carry the A1 Non Combustible Fire Rating, as there is generally no requirement, unless using around a Fire Place for example. If you need the A1 rating, then you may wish to consider a suitable Tile Backer Board, such as BAL Board, which carries the rating you require. However, on the floor, in the living space adjacent to a fire place, there is generally no requirement for the A1 Fire Rating.

@@DunlopTrade If you get this tested, please let me know. Thank you for your reply 🙂

Dunlop Pro Cover is indeed an uncoupling system in much the same way as the product you mentioned…. The clear difference is that “traditional, fleece-backed, plastic cavity based”, uncoupling systems have dual function i.e. uncoupling and waterproofing when used with ancillary tapes etc. Dunlop Pro cover is non-cavity based, ultra-thin (less than 1mm) and is an uncoupling system only, but because there are no cavities to fill you will notice a 20% reduction in adhesive consumption and installation time, compared with plastic, cavity-based systems. Installation is the same too, simply prepare the background, apply Dunlop Tilers Primer (as per instruction), mix a cement based flexible adhesive such as Dunlop CF03 (as per instruction), apply using a 4mm notched trowel and then depress the Pro Cover membrane firmly into the adhesive, “butt jointing” the mat, with no additional tapes required. If you do wish to make the Pro Cover product waterproof, then simply apply two coats of the Dunlop Shower Waterproofing paste, found within the Dunlop Shower Waterproofing Kit.

Hi there, thanks for your enquiry. Can you tell us where you are based please? This is the youtube channel for Dunlop UK. The Floor Level Flex Kit is a product produced by Dunlop in Australia? If you can let us know we will try and help.

Glad it was helpful!

Unfortunately, both, our Acrylic “Tilers Primer” Primer and SBR “Universal Bonding Agent” are not designed to be used on such systems. Our primers are used on porous substrates such as concrete and sand/cement screeds for example, to reduce porosity and enhance performance, open time, flow rate, finish etc etc…… You may need to refer to Sika for their advice with regards to preparing said product prior to using a smoothing and levelling compound.

Providing the brick-work is “sound and solid” you could use either the Dunlop CF03 or CF24 to install your favourite Backerboard such as Hardie Backer or indeed BAL Board for example. However, always refer to the board manufacturers guidance on individual installation types.

Thank you for your feedback… Dunlop LX-40 has been tested and used by 1000s of trade professionals around the UK for many years now. We are happy that the prescribed 3.8ltrs per 20kg unit performs as expected and more importantly is user friendly. Please get in touch if you'd like to discuss in more detail.

For most “small scale” installations a quality cordless drill and whisk will suffice.

Unfortunately not… you would require a DPM and concrete for such repairs. Dunlop levelling compounds are to provide a flat surface finish prior to tiling or floor laying for example on existing structural backgrounds, not to create one.

Both Dunlop LX-200 & LX-360 may be used on Flooring Grade Asphalt (only), however to a maximum of 6mm.

Thanks for your enquiry. LX-360 is only suitable for internal areas and unfortunately, we don't currently have anything on the range that can be applied over a roof membrane.

Thanks for your enquiry. Ensure that the floor is sound and stable and screwed down at (minimum 300mm centres) and not nailed. To provide a solid floor, use a plywood overlay minimum 15mm thickness. If the plywood subfloor is sound and solid, LX-360 can be applied directly after priming. To prime, use 2 coats of undiluted DUNLOP Tilers Primer or 2 coats of DUNLOP Universal SBR Bonding Agent (diluted 2 parts water to 1 part DUNLOP Universal SBR Bonding Agent by volume). Each coat must be left to dry before applying the second coat. Visit www.dunloptrade.com/tiling for further information on application and preparation.

Thanks for your enquiry. It's always better to add the correct water first and then gradually add the powder in small amounts to help with achieving the correct mix. This will ensure that no powder will be left at the bottom of the mixing bucket.

I am sorry but the DUNLOP Levelling compounds are not suitable as a wearing surface and must have a tile finish.

Thank you for the great feedback Toby.
