    Has anyone got experience fitting altro expresslay? Does is bubble up if the temp gets warmer? What's it like to fit?
    ive got a customer who doesn't want the pain of removing old Marley tiles and re screed and there's no heating in the building so winter is cold and summer it's warm.

    Its just same to fit tbh, not had any issues of bubbling up but ive not laid it in the same circumstances as yourself. Obviously dont cut it tight :mrgreen:
    I prime the floor first with spray adhesive where the tape is going. The tape doesnt feel tacky enough to hold it but trust me it does!!

    Depending on how much time you've got altro have said, you can use pressure sensitive a trowel width (small end) around the edges and joints in preferred. Also try and leave flat for as long as possible as I've had some rolls which had slight kinks in which went down eventually but didn't look good at the time.

    If you order from cfs you have to ask for the tape, and double.

    Had a job I done for a builder and solely used Janser Impact tape. Worked well.
