At ABM Tiling, proudly serving Greater London, we’re excited to share our expertise in our latest blog post tailored for main contractors. When embarking on tiling projects, particularly those requiring latex levelling screeds, preparation is everything. Let’s explore why evaluating your base and planning for traffic demands can make or break your flooring success.

Why Substrate Strength Matters
A solid foundation is key to any tiling project. If the underlying surface isn’t robust enough, you risk cracks or shifting tiles down the line. That’s where the Schmidt hammer test comes in - a quick, reliable way to check concrete strength. By measuring rebound resistance, it ensures your substrate preparation for tiling meets the mark, keeping your project stable and long-lasting.
Planning for Load and Traffic
Every space has unique demands. Residential floors might only need to handle light foot traffic, while commercial or industrial areas face heavier loads. Matching your latex levelling screed installation to these conditions is vital. For example, a busy office needs a tougher setup than a quiet home, ensuring durability where it counts.
