adhesive

I am planning on doing my bathroom up in January so I'm needing to get everything bought before. I am using 600x600 porcelain tiles for the floor and 300x600 porcelain tiles (3.4kg a tile) for the wall, I know it will be powder tile adhesive required but I cant find any which states it would...

I'm fitting limestone tiles 900x600 using keraquick over UFH with schluter ditra matting and reading the mixing ratio says about potentially using mapei latex to make it s2 when using large format tiles (over 600x600) but from my research I've only come across needing it to be S1. Is that...

Hi guys, I would be very grateful for some advice about wether it is necessary to use acrylic primer on the walls in my cloakroom toilet wall. I ask because to me it looks grey like sand/cement mix? Its a 1955 council house. The walls aren't smooth like normal plaster elsewhere in the house...

Hello, I recently lifted some modern tiles to reveal the original Victorian Tiles (Actually dated late 30's but in the Victorian/Edwardian mosaic style). The previous owner had for some bizarre reason tiled over them. Sacrilege! With considerable effort, I've managed to clean off almost all of...

Hello, What would be the best thing to use in terms of adhesive and achieve the no grout look for mirror metro subway tiles. Like these examples attached. It is going in the kitchen not behind the hob. However they are going behind a sink. tile size is 7.5cm x 20cm please appreciate any help.

HI everybody, hope you are all safe. I'm retired now (not a tradesman) but I help a guy out who refurbishes bathrooms and other things. He's actually an electrician but is a self taught plumber and a very clever guy. I get to do a bit of tiling and we have a lot of banter about applying the...

Hi Everyone, I'm new here and was really hoping for some professional advice. I bought a new build 21 months ago. Within a couple of months we noticed hollow tiles that knocked and tapped when walked on. After 18 months the builder finally agreed to redo a number of the tiles for us as a gesture...

I've had my floor tiles lifted in my ensuite as there was a leak in the toilet. It's a newbuild house so the builder is doing the work. The floor tiling was done by my own contractor who used 6mm hardies backer board. The builder hasn't stripped the adhesive or backer and I think he is...

Dear all, as a homeowner, I have had to hack off a glass tile which is backpainted from a wet room. It seems that the tile was pressed into a cement like glue as there are no visible trowel lines and it was really difficult to remove the remains of the old tile without hitting it very hard in...

Hi Guys I recently bought 600x300 wall tiles direct from Johnsons and the above adhesive is what they advised and sold to me. I queried it and they insisted it was the correct one. Just wanted opinions on this as a 6mm trowel doesn't seem much adhesive for such a large tile. Thanks for your help

Hi, Can anyone recommend a good tile adhesive for bonding a schluter pre formed shower tray to a timber suspended floor. I asked Schluter and they recommended using Ardex S27 for the adhesion of the tray and X77 for tiling on Kerdi board. Trouble is none of the tile shops local to me stock...

hi im in the process of floor prep for ufh. the floor is out by up to in 15mm in places and wondered if i could level up with tile backer boards on deep bed tile adhesive? if so which tile adhesive would be best?

Watched a video on this. Anybody used it ? Thoughts ? View: https://youtu.be/ZmfnomDRKiQ

Hi I'm fixing 10cm x 20cm ceramic tiles to Jackoboard in a tanked shower area would be grateful for a recommendation on the ideal trowel notch size and a slow setting adhesive - preferably one that is availble from CTD. Many Thanks Martin

I am installing heavy terrazzo tiles (size 400mm x400mm, and 20mm thick) onto lower part of bathroom wall up to height of 1200mm and also on the bathroom floor. They weigh 48kg/m2!. I am using the approriate backer boards on the floor and wall. But I am unsure as to the best adhesive to use...

Hi Due to start a DIY tiling job in my kitchen this weekend. Have had worktops fitted and in some places there are 10mm gaps between wall and worktop (where walls are out of square and all over the place). Using 100x200mm metro tiles which are 5mm thick and would like to put down a bed of...

Hi, I'm getting mixed opinions on what class of adhesive I need. I am tiling my bathroom, hallway and kitchen. I've had blown screen throughout, mostly because of an old Gas pipe which had rusted. It had blown the screed and it just came up in sheets. It's an 1950's bungalow with no...

Hi! Which adhesive did you use for the floor tiles as I am also using the same bathroom floor tiles. Thanks!

i've always used BAL adhesives in a tub for any tiling i've done in the past. apart from some large format porcelain floor tiles, which i used a fast setting cementious flexible adhesive. but most places i look now have only mapei... what adhesive would you recommend for 600 x 300 x 9mm...

Hi, new to this forum, I have a question, I am laying a lot of wood effect 240 x 950mm ceramic tiles on an poured Alpha Hemi Hydrate screed that is fully dried on Underfloor heating, I will seal the floor before tiling. I wanted to use the evo-stik Technik LFT ( large format tile ) adhesive...
