Encaustic Tile Procedure

[J Sid]

This was last year, followed advice from threads on here.
Didn't water dip them before fix though, but did leave days to dry out after washing and fix to make sure no water left.

I've a bathroom floor to do this week, but they are a strange type......5 or 6 mm of encaustic, with a cement layer on the back, 20mm thickness overall

My job was the same, came with a fix instructions

I fitted some in a entrance porch late year 20 mm thick , another fad tile over priced crap in my opinion ,

Good Morning Julian,

marvellous install, did you have to do any extra wall prep for these ? I know they are heavy and wondered what you were hanging them off.

Is there a re seal regime to follow as these will get very wet !!

It's this type of work that keeps our trade interesting. IMHO
I'am sure these and geometrics are not every ones style just as large format shiny porcelain are in fashion.
Wooden floor preparation as for heavy stone and to include a decoupling membrane.

Here's the job I did today, before and after...

Hi John, sorry I've been off for a few days. It's funny you should mention large format shiny porcelain - I hardly sell any nowadays and haven't done for a few years now, it's all unpolished all the way.
