thickness

I'm currently redoing my shower. It's a 3-walled shower enclosure and so far I've removed the old tiles and water-damaged plasterboard which was there previously (15mm British Gypsum plasterboard). It's a new build house (2006) and I'm now left with the metal studding (think it's again standard...

Hi, I'd like to fit in a shower screen 1850 x 900. The new style of screen on the likes of Houzzz look ver minimialist without the long bracket going to a wall or ceiling to provide support. I'm wondering how they make it stable enough? I've uploaded a picture with labels "A" and "B" on it...

Hi All I'm fitting a new door opening and am trying to plan for the tiled floor thickness. I am planning to overlay 6mm cement board over the floorboards and tile over that (with 8-10mm tiles?). So my calcs says I need 6 plus 10 plus two layers of adhesive (one for the cement board and one for...

Hi. If using a 6mm notched float to apply adhesive, once bedded, how thick should the adhesive be? Additionally, I decided to buy a tile levelling system and I notice that the foot of each unit (the section that lays beneath the tile) is bent upward, like this -). It sits around 6mm high, so...

What are the advantages of 20mm boards against 10mm boards on top of concrete slab. Would the underfloor heating on top heat up any quicker or would the thicker board just prevent the heat from dispersing less

I have just had someone ask me if 4 mm thick marble is suitable for a floor. I've only ever used 10 mm thick, I assume 4 mm would be too thin? It's for a mosaic so they would be 10 mm x 10 mm x 4 mm. Thanks

I'm tiling my shower with a 150mm tall step/threshold that I want to place a row of 100 x 150 tile on top of making the threshold approximately 100mm thick. I'm in the process of knocking up the timber framing for the shower and had a thought about how thick my frame should be and I am unsure...

Hello, I wonder if anyone would mind advising if the thickness of sealent applied around my bath is normal? My concern is that it's been applied so thick to fill in a gap between the tiles and the bath. Many thanks in advance for the help and advice.

Hi, I've got to the shower tiling stage! (after I tape walls). I've now got walls, and I'm going to tile onto the Marmox boards/mapgum WPS (pics below), and reading the forums Mapei Keraflex Maxi S1 seems a good choice so I can take my time. What I'm not sure on is the adhesive mm thickness to...

Interested to see how you guys would approach this e.g bed thickness , how many m2 laid per day etc?

Hi all, I'm about to tile a concrete kitchen floor that needs leveling as it currently slopes and runs out by around 40 mm (from one end of room to the other). I just wanted to know whether (a) self leveling compound would do the job and if so, the maximum thickness that can be applied, and (b)...

I'm going to be laying a large format (90 x 30cm) wall tile on a modest bathroom plasterboarded wall soon. Two questions as I have no experience of laying anything so large, the tile is about 7 kg so what sort of bed thickness do you think would be adequate ( using Mapei Maxi/ Primer G) and...

As title, what size notch should I be using? 6mm or 10mm? What's the downside of using a 6mm over 10mm? The wall is perfectly flat. Many thanks.

Following a few past threads there seems to be some confusion on what tiles can go onto what walls. Most of you here are professional tilers so apologies if any of this is old news. This is for those who are unsure how to gauge tile weights and for what is a suitable surface for your specific...

Hi Everyone It's been a while since I've been on the forums! We are having an extension built and are really unsure about subfloor prep and tile adhesive thickness. We want the new finish floor level to be the same as the existing finish floor level. We are trying to work backwards from...

I'm about to start a DIY tiling project next week with 600x600mm porcelain tiles. 10mm thick. Doing walls and floor. I haven't worked with anything this size before so I have a basic adhesive question. I'm looking to use a 10-12mm notched trowel for the walls. Once the tiles are pressed down...

Hi I'm new to the forums and after a bit of advice. I'll shortly be fitting 10mm 600x300mm porcelain tiles in a bathroom to a MR plasterboard wall and 18mm chipboard floor covered with Hardiebacker. From reading around, I know I need a flexible adhesive, preferably a standard setting one...
