Anhydrite floor experiences and recommendations?

2013-05-04 21:24:31

Hello

We are considering purchasing such an anhydrite floor because Bodarto, Naturofloor, etc. are too expensive for us.

Who already has experience with such floors, has some themselves or knows the advantages and disadvantages? What about the price and who can recommend a good professional in the Eastern Switzerland region?

Thanks and regards

Anhydrite "floor covering" or "screed"? As a floor covering - I think - anhydrite is less suitable; or are there products that resist constant moisture from floor wiping? I don't know of any right now, but that doesn't mean they don't exist, I just don't know them.

I have no personal experience now, but my uncle owns such a floor. He is quite satisfied with it. In the area where splashes occur, he installed insulation.

I have had bad experience with anhydrite as a floor covering. It just did not dry. Usually, it should be dry after 11 weeks, but not in our case.

This anhydrite screed is simply not recommendable. I even applied it at an acquaintance's place and it simply did not dry. We heated for at least 5 weeks and the temperatures were always around 25 degrees. Then we used a [Bautrockner], that also helped little.

Then we removed all the material again except for the insulation. Not a nice job.

This anhydrite screed is simply not recommendable. I even installed it at an acquaintance's place, and it just did not dry. We heated for at least 5 weeks, and the temperatures were always around 25 degrees. Then we used a construction dryer, which also helped very little.

Then we removed all the material again except for the insulation. Not a pleasant job.

Thank you very much for your information. At first, I also wanted to install such anhydrite screed. But I read here that there are major problems with drying. So I will rather leave it and look for other alternatives.
