    Quick one guys anyone on here have tiles on their dairy room floor and it so what type, any recommendations.

    Doing an upgrade on dairy room and could do with upgrading the floor. Current floor is steel float concrete which is down donkeys years and has started to ravel in a few places so was thinking of upgrading it. Either needs a new floor in or thinking that tiling over it could be a quicker if slightly more expensive solution. If its not done in next two weeks it will be next winter.

    How will you manage around tank with tiles? I'd say you might get a levelling compound that would give a good enough and hard wearing enough finish if you contacted some industrial flooring contractors.

    Had levelling compound on old dairy last well but could get very slippy.

    Are there different types for different uses. Only ever used it to level a floor in a shop before another floor covering was installed. That particular variety would have been of very little use in a dairy.

    AFAIK it was ordinary levelling compound.

    Thanks for replies guys thinking of going levelling compound and then a paint-on non slip resin.

    Might get left now as a couple of heifers looking like calving down a week ahead of time

    Can you use that Carborundum Dust on levelling compound?
