Adhesive/Grout etc to buy tomorrow....

[kevg]

Could one or two kind people do a little sanity check for me and just make sure I have not missed anything out ? I'm buying everything I need to do my rooms tomorrow.

Kitchen (concrete)

Floor - Concrete
Tiles - Porcelain
Membrane - Dural Ci or Shluter Ditra
Adhesive - Keraflex Maxi
Grout - Mapei Jasmine

Toilet - (concrete)

Floor - Concrete
Tiles - Porcelain
Membrane - Dural Ci or Shluter Ditra
Adhesive - Keraflex Maxi
Grout - Mapei Jasmine

With both of these floors being concrete, would I need a primer ?

Bathroom - (Woodchip)

Floor - Woodchip
Tiles - Marble
Membrane - Hardiebacker 6mm or something like Marmox
Adhesive - Keraflex Maxi
Grout - Mapei Jasmine

En-suite 1 - (Woodchip)

Floor - Woodchip
Tiles - Marble
Membrane - Hardiebacker 6mm or something like Marmox
Adhesive - Keraflex Maxi
Grout - Mapei Jasmine

Ensuite 2 - (Woodchip)

Floor - Woodchip
Tiles - Marble
Membrane - Hardiebacker 6mm or something like Marmox
Adhesive - Keraflex Maxi
Grout - Mapei Jasmine

With the upstairs rooms all having a cement based backer, I assume no primer needed for this ?

I'll also get some joint tape, screws etc that I'll need, but have I missed anything important out ?

Use primer on the concrete, you should also consider some tools!!!!!

Thanks Brian

Yeah never mentioned that as I have a wet machine with diamond blades etc, knee pads, sponges, trowels etc already.

Anything glaringly obvious I've missed ? My choices ok ?

 

[kevg]

Grout sealant, tile sealant. Forgot about those.

I would also consider a de-coupler membrane for the ensuites and bathroom especially as you are using stone.

Should I use my choices for the concrete ? i.e. Some of the Dural or the Shluter ? And would that mean instead of the Hardiebacker ?

 

[Ian]

Fit it over the hardi, if the floors are small, say 3/4m2, it may not be necessary, just a little bit of extra security.

 

[kevg]

Will do, thanks Brian. This is going to cost me a pretty penny.

 

[Ian]

Not as much as if you have to do it twice!!!! Good luck mate, look forward to the photos.

 

[kevg]

Just seen Keraflex Maxi S1, should I get this rather than the standard Maxi ?

Your not wrong there. I appreciate tha Brian thanks. Yep, I'm a photoholic so will have lots for you lads to giggle at lol.

Keraflex Maxi is S1 anyway?

Not sure myself, I just see one branded with S1 and one thats not.

Got the stuff I needed today. Will pick everything up when I move house very soon.

Was told I dont need any de-coupler for the concrete or chipboard. I got Latex Plus instead which according to Mapei, the Latex Plus with Keraquick is fine for tiling right on to Chipboard. And for concrete only Pro Flex is needed.

I assume this is ok ? Almost £1500 worth today, felt like I never bought much lol.

Sorry but tiling direct to chipboard is not right.. no matter what the tile shop told you.. the tile adhesive might well stick to it but the chipboard will not hold the tiles..
