Hi, I'm a diyer, have floor tiles that have cracked in the kitchen area of a flat on outer edges where it meets carpet, must have been down some time.
I chipped the old ones off to replace, they are on a sheet of ply, which stops at the tiling area causing a height difference to carpet and if you step on the edge of the ply theres a bit of flex.
Also there was just a 90 degree angle stuck on the edge of the tiles.
I'm wondering if I will avoid the new tiles cracking o the edge by just using something like mapei rapid flexible adhesive, or if I need to do anything else ?
Also do I need to prime the ply ?
If so with what ?
Most of the tiles have been fine so maybe it's been primed originally but its dusty now.
I have some wood primer paint that maybe I could use ?
Thanks for any advice.
