readiescards Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Rather than a liquid screen final layer before the LVT tiles the fitters want to put down Xtrafloor® Flex Pro ( see https://www.xtrafloor.com/products/underlays/xtrafloortm-flex-pro ) which is like a floating mat with a sticky topside that the LVT goes straight onto. So much quicker installation time. Anyone know of this product as it is new to me so trying to understand its pros/cons Thanks Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
readiescards Posted August 14, 2018 Author Share Posted August 14, 2018 Dismissed it in the end. As the LVT supplier was also unsure of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickfromwales Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Another good reason to ditch it. With the thinner liquid screed I think you'll be over the safe threshold for the floor temps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely my floor temp will never be 27Deg - will be uncomfortably hot to walk on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
readiescards Posted November 6, 2018 Author Share Posted November 6, 2018 Infact Xtrafloor base seems to be product aimed at UFH. Anyone used it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely my floor temp will never be 27Deg - will be uncomfortably hot to walk on! Most thinner screeds I’ve been around have a quite high flow temp to heat the spaces at the worse part of the year. Admittedly they’ve not been passive standard, some nowhere near, but have had flow temps as high as 35oC. It doesn’t actually get that hot at the ‘surface’ but I’d certainly run the system first and see where you are before choosing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickfromwales Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 As it’s the manufacturer that will provide the warranty, ultimately it doesn’t matter what I say so if it were me I’d ascertain the average flow temp ( if the systems working ) and simply run it by their tech guys. For passive it’s a no brainer, but other instances would be for from a quick sense-check imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
