    Tiles falling of the walls

    In the states its 1 year on remodel work for warranty. Tile lasts until the trend changes. I see my clients at the store, or soccer games with my kids. He should be there helping. Never heard of wall or floor adhesives. Makes no sense. I don't have access to your products though, so maybe fine.

    Bathroom tiles lifted

    Pretty poor contact and trowel technique. Expansion joints at all edges are required. Back buttering helps with bonding, but not required. Heated floors were done properly for years before membranes came out, just looks to be a bad install. Shouldn't be able to see ridges from trowel.

    Re sealing floor tiles

    You likely ate the glaze with the acid and now all vapor and everything else under your tile has a quick exit from under your tile. Sealer won't stop it, it's like putting a bandage on the outside of a rubber pool in a very small but real scenario. Pictures would certainly help.

    Laticrete GTA (glass tile adhesive), and no sheetrock, use wonderboard or another brand of tile backer. The glass manufacturer should have some instructions to follow.

    Porcelain Floor Tiles Concrete Floor

    Grind or clean off any bond breakers so the thinset can bond well to the slab and you are good to go. White grout is often an issue, less so with epoxy. Score and snap cutters and a grinder are the most cost effective route to take.

    Asbestos tiles

    Where I live it is no longer allowed to encapsulate asbestos tiles. Best bet would be the floating membrane, then no worries with any waxes or other contaminants that might need to be removed before priming.

    Urgent help; scratches on ceramic tiles

    It is hibernating season. Everyone gets grumpy quickly as I did, and I apologize for that. Bowed tiles and frozen water lines to the saw are not what I asked Santa for, yet here we are. Again, I apologize for my poor attitude, long day.

    Urgent help; scratches on ceramic tiles

    I am getting a little tired making bad tiles look good. Antonoio, your tiles are garbage. Customers tell me they paid alot so it should look good. I can't make a poop look like a happy brunch.

    Urgent help; scratches on ceramic tiles

    If those are leftover or not yet installed tiles, open a box and examine a few to see if the scratches are there as well. That should help get it sorted.

    Looks like it occurred after the tiles were set, it's like the scratch patterns span across multiple tiles.
