    Advice needed re a few things.

    ...The tiler says he's got 20 years experience so perhaps he's used to doing things a certain way, but I've bought the Mustang tile levelling system for him and want him to use that as being a commercial setting, quite apart from aesthetics, I wouldn't want to risk any lipping that could cause a...

    Advice needed re a few things.

    ...also because I asked him a couple of questions and I wasn't convinced by his answers. My questions: 1. Should you use some sort of levelling system to lay rectified porcelain tiles with 2mm grout lines? When I asked the question of our tiler he said no. 2. Would we need an expansion joint as...

    General Advice Please

    I never liked ditra mat, durabase is better , use 6mm trowel to fix the membrane and I used to rub it in with a grout squiggle!! Mapei keraquik is great adhesive !! But bit worried about your tilers asking for a premixed adhesive , I'd get someone else

    Can you tell me if this tiling looks okay?

    ...by the tiler to carry on the install, it usually warns you on the box not to lay them brick bond or what you can do is use a levelling system which will prevent lippage. Certain lighting can make these situations look a lot worse also but blame is on the tiler here and you are well within...

    800x800 large format tiles

    I'd use a 10mm half round notched trowel. Back butter the tiles and look to use a levelling clip system. Score and snap any straight cuts. I use a really thin (similar to rubi tvh turbo viper) diamond blade in a grinder for any 'L' shape cuts.. etc but still score and cut inside the scoreline to...

    Am i doing it right still? As a professional. (Crisis of confidence)

    Mate, ask 10 tilers the same question, you'll normally get 10 different answers! 😂 However, I think we all agree that plywood is finished, and pva is a definite no no with cement based adhesives. If you want an absolute go to solution for timber floors, use hardie backer, there are loads of...

    I’ve always been anti clip. Been on the forum since 2007 and seen the gimmicks come and go. I’ve even seen some use clips on metro’s 😂😂. 30 yrs tiling and can’t beat the hand skills taught. Keep up the good advice mate. 👍

    Tile levelling systems joints opening up!

    The clip-system crew are just lazy. I level a floor properly in the first place if required, then tile it. I use a little bit more adhesive where necessary, and use a solid bed thick bed always. I don't allow voids that are prone to breaking which clip systems create. You sound like a man who...

    Clip systems are used by people who can't tile. (Waiting for the backlash...)
