    Grout or sealant and grout in the corners?

    I'm just grouting a new en suite and have left the corners open until I'm sure of the best way to do them.

    Porcelain Tiling To Calcium Sulfate Based Screeds (Revised Dec 2011)

    OK, I see your point about cracking, I may have to chance this one room then. I don't suspect any odd differences in the floor, I helped at all stages and insulation and membrane were all 100%.

    Porcelain Tiling To Calcium Sulfate Based Screeds (Revised Dec 2011)

    I hope its dry Alan! House has been sealed up tight and is bone dry. So if I heat the floor and let it cool again what change will that have made? Do I need to reconsider adhesive brand, is Mapi not a good choice?

    Porcelain Tiling To Calcium Sulfate Based Screeds (Revised Dec 2011)

    Thanks Alan, I would have gone with 2mm gaps so will go with 3mm now. The heating is pressurised but I can't run it? I was hoping after 3 years there is no moisture there to speak of. So do you need the floor to be 'warm' to lay the tiles?

    Can I prime a floor this weekend and lay tiles 9n it next weekend?

    I just sealed my calcium ****** floor with tilemaster+ primer which requires a 3:1 coat and a following coat of undiluted primer. OK with that but I wonder is it OK to prime this weekend and lay tiles on it next weekend or is that not going to work?
