Hi. I am looking to use Sikafloor 156 as a primer/bonding bridge, prior to using self leaving compound as the self leveller on its own isn’t bonding to the vinyl floor tiles. I have old asbestos vinyl floor tiles, will sikafloor 156 bond? These vinyls tiles are smooth-ish and I’m unable to make a textured surface to ‘grip’ due to asbestos containing & too expensive to remove. My two rooms in total are about 30m2, will two 10kg sikafloor 156 be enough for bonding bridge/primer? If I’ve read the data sheet correctly, is it 0.3kg-0.5kg per m2, per 10kg sikafloor 156 or is it two sikafloor156 as it states 1-2x. Slightly confused with the consumption calculations. Please advise on how many sika155 I’d need. Many thanks for the advice.

When applying Sika/SCHÖNOX levelling compounds/underlayments onto non porous substrates, it is recommended to use Sikafloor 02 Primer / SCHÖNOX SHP . Be very careful with the prep of the tiles, abrasion techniques would not be recommended due to them containing asbestos. Please ensure they are clean and dry and free of contamination.

When used as a dpm over a new concrete floor due to a higher level of moisture in the concrete than thats exceptable. what would the m2 be?

In regards to using Sikafloor 156 as a DPM Sika recommend a consumption rate of 0.5kg/m², this can either be applied in one coat at 0.5kg/m² or two coats at 0.25kg/m²/per coat. Sikafloor 156 can go onto substrates with a moisture content of <6% (99% R/H), you can download the product data sheets from the 'Download' section on the product page.

Can I use Sika 156 primer on an old stone tiled floor with some damp, prior to laying sheet vinyl?

If the moisture content is less that 99% R/H then theoretically yes. We would recommend that you remove the tiles and apply the DPM to the original substrate, this will ensure an even 0.5kg/m² of Sikafloor 156 can be applied. This may be hard to achieve if the tiles are left due to the grout lines, etc. Will Sikafloor 156 bond to old stone tiles? more than likely, we would recommend that you abrade the tiles leaving a rough gripping surface profile.

ColourPicker Explained

In general we sort colours for products into 2 main groups - ‘Ready Mixed’ and ‘Tinted’.
Tinted colours will always be more expensive than Ready Mixed colours as they need to be produced at the time of order using a tinting machine dispensing colourant into a base*.
During busy periods, this means that tinted colours could take longer, for example – a ready mixed colour ordered on a 3-5 day delivery might arrive within 3 days, however a tinted colour might take the full 5 days to arrive.

To find Ready Mixed colours, search "ready mixed" or select the Ready Mixed 'colour chart'. To see Tinted colours select a colour chart such as RAL, BS, NCS, etc. or search for a colour/hue to see available or related options.

To ensure fair pricing, we split colours into ‘Price Bands’ to group together similar priced colours. If you wish to search for the cheapest tinted colours, always select Price Band 1.

We make every effort to list all available colours, however we also offer a colour match service which can be accessed by contacting our Technical Team on 0113 245 5450 (option 2) or emailing [email protected]

*Colours are sold in the nearest tin size but actual paint volume per tin may vary up to 10% depending on colour
