Hi All, I'm new to the forum and not in the trade, so please excuse my ignorance. I'm looking to install wet underfloor heating using polypipe overlay plus system (18mm) and then looking to finish with a karndean/Amtico floor finish. I need some advice on: what goes on top of the underfloor...

Aloha everyone. I've embarked on a bathroom remodel. I opted to use the hydro block shower pan and system. When I notched my joists and set my presloped pan, I've ended up flush with the existing wood subfloor. As such, now if I put any hardi board on top of subfloor, the transition to the...

Hi folks, Just looked at a conservatory tiling job. Wet UFH system, set into sand and cement approx 50mm thick. Fitted 2 months ago so should be cured. Heating yet to be commissioned. The sand and cement is dog rough, going to need prepping to level the floor ready to receive 500mm x 500mm...

...are the result. We’ve spent years getting it right so I have sympathy for mosaic tiling. Regarding lippage ask them to use a tile levelling system if they have issues tiling. Both parties need to understand their expectations. There should be no mismatch of expectations. Tilers should...

Hi Joe Excellent thanks for the reply! I’ve used about 50 of these spacers/levellers and only about 8 haven’t snapped in the right place when removing which is frustrating. Funnily enough there the first 8 or so tiles I installed so I got the knack of it eventually! So scared of chipping the...

Hey AJ It does happen, but not the end of the world. They always need to be clean around the clip before you tighten the wedge. If there is excess adhesive, use a paint brush and water to wash around the clip before inserting and tightening the wedge. The edge of the tiles also needs to be clean...

I have actually sand and cement rendered the part of the wall where plaster came away to get a more even surface now. Do i need to use a primer etc on the s/c and plastered surfaces before i apply the tile adhesive to them to stick the jackoboard on ? Would it be advisable to completely level...

Morning all, I have been given the opportunity to quote for a 110m floor in a chevron pattern. Around 80m of it is screed and the remaining 30m will be on a 12mm cement board, bringing an existing floor together with a new one. The cement board will be going down over 22mm floorboards in 3...

Need some help please with calculating levels and the build up of the floor to support tiling. Not sure about the need for the uncoupling mat? Not sure about the thickness of the tile adhesive? As I have sliding glass doors to be spec'ed and installed before the screed, I need to gauge the...

...like the tile trim to be flush with the wall (along the top edge). Thinking about adhesive depth etc. I'm also using a tile levelling system where the plastic spacers keep the tiles 2mm off the wall - so not sure yet how that would work with wanting the tile trim to sit flush with the top...

Here's me rambling for a while...Lots of pros I work with don't even bring a wet saw unless there is slate or glass involved, and rip 4' or longer pieces with angle grinder when they are in a pinch. A good blade on an angle grinder can give a very clean result with next to no chipping. Some of...

I would use a angle grinder with a abracs diamond blade in (from Toolstation). Once worn in produces incredibly clean cuts. Would rest the tile on a piece of celotex/kingspan when cutting. Look at using a tile levelling clip system. Would use a 2mm (3mm max) spacing width. Use a decent sized...

what size tiles are they? Really small tiles=using a tile levelling system would be overkill.

Hi This is my second hopeful advice post this morning. I'm a first timer looking to over-tile my kitchen splashback in 6mm thick 10x30cm ceramic metros (over 10x10cm rough-cut stone-effect (not sure which material)). The other post was about whether to prepare the wall to reduce slippage. This...

I’m laying hexagon tiles on plywood floor. They are small tiles and a small cupboard and wondering what self levelling system will I use? Also looking to see what primer would be ok to use?

...sure it's top notch. There will be a few posts related to this on our Tile News blog. Our sponsors Mapei tile adhesives also have levelling systems, adhesives and grout to cater for external tiling. Please reply in the comments with which tile adhesive and grout you use when tiling...

Greetings All, appreciate the expertise existing in this forum. I am a home remodeler, not a professional, but have done 4 homes completely down to the studs, including many many square feet of tiling floors, wall, ceiling, bathroom. I have a very difficult problem to diagnose. I have a...

...reassured after meeting the tiler, even though he told us he that had 20 years experience, as I asked him if he was going to use a levelling system and he said he didn't need to. I told him I was worried about lipping and wanted a level floor so asked him to use one and I bought him a Mustang...
