Adhesive for Terracotta floor tiles - advice please

Tilers Forums Official Sponsors

Harriet.. did you ever establish what to use? i have a similar issue, but have chosen limestone.
Installing a DPC is out of the question before anyone suggests it.. its an OLD house.
 
without installing a DPM, or studding the floors and installing "air bricks"
i cant see how your house will "breathe", in the old days houses were colder at a constant, today we pump up the heating.

dagger, you obviously have NO IDEA how breathability works. Suggesting DPM / concrete which will drive water up the walls and CAUSE damp problems in an old house is just dumb.
Suggest you have a look at how old buildings work before you suggest things like this.
The naturally breathable flagstones/teracotta tiles will allow moisture evaporation whcih is what is required. This will happen in a cold or hot house.
Sorry Harriet I have no idea what tile adhesive you could use, just had to ranty at ridiculous comments ...🙂
