Floating Floors

[prceramics]

You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em,
Know when to walk away and know when to run.

seriously mate i personally would not chance it not all floors can be tiled

It is a serious question and iam checking this out on here for help, i have contacted the tile supplier and told him the situation and they said and i quote plenty of ply lining and you will be fine. We shall supply the best adhesive on the market. I was hoping for a little more support from a pro instead of knock back comment. I am meeting the customer tomorrow and would like to armed with other traders thoughts as help. sorry for not being as great as you Ajax 123.

imo piling ply on top won't help, its still going to be a floating floor, your supplier isn't the one that's going to take the flack if it all fails, my advice would be to use karndean ....hope this helps.

Ok for this job you will need some tartan bonding this is the ideal bonding for this sort of installation then you will need 120 sky hooks to reduce the bounce. The best adhesive to use is silly and you will need a long wait to hold the tiles down.

is that the Mckenzie or the royal Stewart tartan deano....

I'm with Andy, suggest Kardndean or Amtico etc

Yep it's the only way to go, tiles will contour to the floor and follow any movement

To those who don't believe that non constructive comments should not be posted Pooh!
This is a tilers forum for DIY to professional but when a DIY is pretending to be a professional then it's open season as far as I'am concerned.
What right has a novice to price up a 30m floor and come on here to ask how to do it?
You say we should help him fraudulently take someone's hard earned money by telling him how to do it - rubbish! This forum is for everyone to express their views and if it's not what they want to hear - tough IMHO .

Hehehe good thread ^^^^ good crack John

 

[The Legend; Phil Hobson RIP]

I must admit I agree with TJ, Deano, and Ajax on this. I do resent people asking how to do jobs when they are calling themselves pro tilers, I am in the middle of putting right a job that has been attempted twice by a so called "tiler" Gyvlon screed not prepared correctly, the poor customer is now paying me to rectify this very poor installation.

Good for me, but bad for our industry. So I think tilers should be aware how to prep substrates or not bother and leave it to the people who do know. Sorry if this offends anyone, but it is how I feel.

Never tiled a floating floor and never would.

Diggy

Look out Phil's back :sofahide: But he's right

Thank you for the helpfull comments from some people, as for the worlds greatest tilers on here, i have ten years trading behind me, completed and passed a two week training course. The reason for asking was,that i told the client it could not be done and to get a second opinion. The conversation with the tile supplier was brought up and i informed the client that the supplier was wrong and i would show her that other tilers would agree with me on forum.I was not asking how to do the job.As a first time user of this forum, i must say that i was not expecting the amount of REMOVED i received. It must be great sat at home slagging people off who DO work hard and DO Not rip people off. To all the members who are happy to gob off just remember somebody could be looking at your work saying "god thats a REMOVED job". So thank you for looking down on me from your wonderfull world of being the best and passing on your opinions. Do not worry i will not be asking for opinions again and will remove myself from this forum.
