2006年1月24日 · The difference in weight between gyp-crete and concrete is not very significant IMHO. In fact the density of the concrete is an advantage, as it is more conductive. I think the primary benefit of the gyp-crete is not its weight, but its self-leveling nature.

Another option is to use a prefinished T&G engineered wood floor (Harris Tarkett, Kahr's, Award, etc.) and float it (glue the edges) over the gypcrete.

1999年6月17日 · gyp-crete floors | Posted in General Discussion on June 17, 1999 09:40am After the gyp-crete is poured over my radiant floor tubing, can I consider it “finished” enough to call it flooring, perhaps staining, polishing, etc., until I can afford to intall real tile flooring later????????

1999年2月20日 · Because the warranty had expired, that's why we hired a different contractor to come in a make the repairs on the cracked brick. However, when he got into the project, he stopped to tell us he believed the "mud" used behind the tile was gyp-crete. This man also lays flooring for a living, so we thought he probably knows what gyp-crete looks like.

2007年8月19日 · Danno's right. Differential expansion requires the use of an anti-fracture membrane, or isolation membrane, so that inevitable cracks in the gypcrete won't telegraph through the tile, given that the thinset bond between tile and gypcrete would be strong enough that the tile would give before the bond did.

2005年12月23日 · My experience with gypcrete is that it does soften when it gets wet. This is the older gypcrete that was poured in the late 1980's.

2009年4月22日 · I will be starting soon on a “pop-top” addition to our 1960’s ranch style house. The plan is to install hot water radiant heat over the existing first floor and the new second floor. The usual recommendation is to imbed the pex tubing in …

1998年12月24日 · *What does Gyp-Crete have to say about it? If possible could you outline the conditions between pour and startup of the floors ie: ambient air temperature, water temperature, time between placement of Gyp-Crete and startup of floorheat, etc.

2006年11月2日 · We have a gypcrete pour over pex and we want to lay tile on top of it. We know that thinset to gypcrete directly is a bad idea, and are looking […]

1998年12月30日 · * To answer your first question. Yes the “pock marks” in the gypcrete need to be floated out. Use a portland patch made for that purpose. DAP brand Webcrete is […]
