Adhesive for 600x600 porcelain

[peegee tips]

Hello again,

Which adhesive would be best suited for fixing 600x600 porcelain in a conservatory over elec undertile heating?

I guess its going to be pretty warm working in there so would i be best going with a single part white? I know i could use ptb flex, but its gonna go of pretty quick & its my first time with this size tile..

Area is 25m2

Any ideas?

Thanks.

peegee use a flexible adhesive suitable for porcelain one mix at 4to 1 ratio will be enough to lay three tiles at a time mix little and often then its not going off in the pot

White Keraflex from Mapei?

as per grump and pete white keraflex but as pete says mix a little but often.
you will also need a good flexible grout personally prefer bal microflex wide joint grout.

Thanks for the replied so far guys.

I'm yet to try Mapei adhesives & grout ( extensively- did one small job ), but willing to try.
I guess the same equivalent in bal would be the single part flex white?

As for the grout, was gonna go with 3mm grout lines & use ivory or champagne colour. I know it needs to be flexible but would you tend to go for the smoother grout or the more coarse wide joint grout, these tiles are a light beige with faint marble effect? Bal seem to have the colour i want in one type of grout but not in the other without adding GT1.

Is the Ultracolour plus vanilla from Mapei the same colour as ivory?
Is this a suitable alternative to the Bal grout?

Thanks again.

Keraflex has 8hrs in the bucket!...and Ultracolour Jasmine would be a good match, very fine grout and with good water resistance.
