Just doing a bathroom reburb. The floor is to be tiled in 600x600x10mm porcelain tiles. Bathroom size approx 2.5mx2.5m.
As I had to lift a lot of the floorboards for the new pipework, I decided to replace the lot with 18mm WBP ply. The plan then was to use Ditra and then tile. I'm just a little...

Hi all,

Hi,
I have some large porcelain tiles (600x400x11mm). I was planning to use Bal singlepart flex to fix them to wall however someone has advised me to use mosaicfix instead as it has better hold and the tiles are heavy.
Is this correct?
Thanks

Hello, laying down 44mm x 66mm porcelain floor tiles on perfectly level floor. which adhesive shall I use? Mapei Keraquick or Keraflex?
Datasheet for keraflex says surfaces ready for use in 14 days, do you have to wait that long, its a bathroom floor.
Any guidance appreciated. Thanks
