First Attempt at Floor Tiling

[DHTiling]

so is the sbr available from Screwfix ok to use in this case?

I see two products available -

No Nonsense SBR Primer White 1kg | NoLinksToThis @ £7.99/kg

or

Cementone? SBR Admixture White 5Ltr | NoLinksToThis @ £19.99 for 5ltr (do I need 5 litres? total area is around 75 sq feet...)

Assuming it is the right thing to use on this substrate, can you give me the recipe for
the slurry mix?

Cheers

Andy

Get the cementone one , you mix it 50/50 with adhesive or neat cement...

But if you want to use a ready to go product , then get some Mapei eco-prim grip primer ... PHG wetrooms ( forum sponsor) can supply that for you , tel him tomorrow for next day delivery , 01388-667211

The flooring supplier had recommended using an Incizo Quick Step profile to match the flooring. You can cut it a number of ways but bearing in mind that there may be a slight change in level once the tiling is down would it be better to use a bullnose profile on the tile side and then lay the tiles up to it?

I'd use the profile (might be a case of seeing how different the floor levels are, and if you can make it work). Just tiling up to the profile with give you a bit of a ropey finish imho.

I've seen your pictures Andy you will not have a problem if you use the SBR mix I always use Bal bond but they are all the same its just that I've used it for years,even my own house floors are the same as yours they have been tiled for ages no problem,just a shame that you went to all that effort and got no where.

Just bumping some of the older popular (sometimes not so popular) threads. Probably wont be current discussion these days but I just need to do it. So just ignore the thread if it's not current for you.
