hi

I am in the process of mounting 12"x36" tiles to an existing brick fireplace. I was thinking the best route would be to apply bonding agent to the bricks, let dry then apply standard thinset using a large square notched trowel to mount the tiles. Also back butter each tile for adhesion. Any...

I'm after some advice. Having the above tiles fitted today and was wondering what spacers people use? I think it looks better without any spacers as there is still 0.5mm gap due to the edges of the tiles bevelled. What do you guys think?

Just been given a 2 day job to tile a porch. I popped around today to have a quick look and found painted brick & quarry tiles.
I know the paint will have to come off, but do you think that a layer of SLC would be best suited before I tile? Slate tiles are to be laid, but I am concerned...
