I did some arches back in the days myself they are a pain in the back but had to be done. Looks like you have a wetroom over there. How did you waterproof it?
You need to kill the trowel notches. Butter the wall/floor and the back of the tile, then you trowel the wall or tile. You will get a good bond. When you kill the notch, slide the tile left to right or up and down, small moves just enough to kill the notch. Don't forget to send us some pictures!
I would charge by the job. To cut the tile (1m length) skirting is time consuming then you must fit them which is another pain in the back. Hope you get a good rate installing the 240m2
What is more suitable for bathroom/showers/tile materials? Marmox boards are specially designed for showers etc. Tile adhesive is your best bet. I would use slow set, but you don't have to you can use speed set as well.
Do you know where the tiles come from? Do you happen to have spare tile? Your best bet is to look up the stamp located on the back of the tile. You can trace it down on Google
The similar jobs I have done were flooded at some point and needed a dehumidifier, walls and floors. To attach the Hardie-Becker to the concrete Pros would use SBR, tile adhesive Rawl plugs and screws. The best bond is done on dry surface.
You know how to get on with the project now. Send us...
I have done similar jobs in the past, brought in a dehumidifier, had it running for 2 weeks to get rid of the humidity, then installed Hardie-Backer on top, then tiled
The backer boards are 100% moisture proof. That floor is ready to be tiled.
Uncoupling membrane speaking: if there are 2 sheets of Ditra on the floor, you may apply a polyethylene tape on the joint. If you are worried about any moisture getting to the walls, then you can apply tape to the walls...
