First time using BAL AF Max on this one — straight over existing Amtico flooring… and I’ll be honest, I had my doubts going in.
👇 The Process
* Tiled directly over the existing floor using AF Max
* No uncoupling mat
* No over-complicating the build-up
💬 First Impressions
Mix was spot on — light, fluffy, and went down easy.
Spreadability was quality, and no nightmare clean-up either (even once it had gone off).
📐 Performance on the Job
* Coverage was bang on spec
* Took time out of the job
* Cut down on materials
* Kept prep and finish to a high standard
🔚 The Finish
Finished off this 42sqm kitchen, dining area and utility room with some natural wood-effect porcelain planks from CTD Stockton — and the end result speaks for itself.
💭 Final Thoughts
Price might raise an eyebrow at first… but once you factor in:
* Time saved
* Materials reduced
* Simpler install
…it actually works out better for both me and the customer.
👉 Would I use it again? 100% — already back on it for the next project.
Proper game changer for me 👌
New products arrive on the market all the time, if we don’t try them and just stick to our old methods we’re just “standing still”. I want to give the best to my customers and move forward at any chance I can💪
