Adhesive for "amatuer" tiler, 600m Porcelanosa onto Marmox.

[g60renshaw]

I am tiling my family bathroom and ensuite bathroom floors, both un-heated and will be 6mm Marmox boarded over pretty sound floor boards.
I am using 600x600 Porcelanosa Extreme White tiles and would say I am not going to be super quick tiling it as I am a bit of perfectionist and will be taking my time.

I will be using a 15mm notch and was wondering what people recommend for the best flexible adhesive to suit this combo?
Obviously it has to be cement based to suit the marmox, but there seems to be such an array.

This is not a wet room, just a standard bathroom with shower cubicle and freestanding bath on the floor.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Cheers

Jay

Adhesive-wise I'd recommend you go for one of the better brands such as Mapei Keraflex Maxi or BAL Single Part Flexible. These are slow setting with a long pot life. Make sure the boards are well screwed down first then fix the Marmox with flexible adhesive and Marmox washers & screws. It would be more practical to fix the Marmox with rapid setting adhesive so you can get onto the floor quicker. Also, make sure you back-skim the tiles as well as combing adhesive on the floor and leave a movement joint around the perimeter to be filled with silicone.

Great stuff thanks. So a single part flexible is the one to go for.
Good advice about the flex gap too. I assume the same applies if I am doing an upstand?
