I am about to lay floor tiles in 3 rooms in my ground floor flat which has a concrete floor. The tiles have already been ordered and are sitting pretty in my store room waiting to be used. But with 26m2 of 600x210mm ceramic tiles to lay I want to be 100% sure I am using the best and most suitable products for the job.
I've gathered from the forums I've read that Bal are the leading brand in tile adhesion so I am confident in using their products. However I must confess that this will be my first attempt at floor tiling. I'm a joiner to trade so I'm no stranger to the construction industry but still, I want to get this right first time.
So I need answers for the fo following:-
Hope I'm not too demanding people!
Best regards

So I need answers for the fo following:-
- Should I prime my concrete floor with Bal SBR, Bal ADP or simply Bal primer? (the floor is painted with masonry paint in some areas)
- Which brand of self leveling compound should I then use to screed the floor with? (the floor is currently not level and too rough)
- Should I then prime the top of the self level screed before proceeding to the tiling?
- Will Bal Rapid Set really be suitable for my circumstances? I understand flexible grout is not required for a solid floor. Is this true?
- Which of Bal's grout range should I then use for my particular circumstances?
- Which product should I use to seal the grout on completion of tiling?
Hope I'm not too demanding people!
