How best to Tile a room?

[mp3wizard]

So I put down some insulation boards earlier, it was keraquick s1 flexible adhesive 20kg mixed with 5.2 litres of water, I certainly learnt a few lessons today, I used a 6mm notched trial, and back buttered all boards, it was all a bit frantic, I believe I have kept about 5mm around the edges free from board but not free from adhesive, does this matter? Although I believe I was fairly consistent with the mix I can see one or 2 slight ridges, this time I was on my own and it was rapid set, for laying tiles I'd have someone with me, I wouldn't be using rapid set and id be using levellers inbetween the tiles, I've only put down 7 boards so far so I am hopeing by the time I've laid them all I'll be a lot better at it.

You don't need to back butter the boards , only the tiles . That should speed things up a bit

Nevermind the back skimming boards, some screws and washers wouldn't go a miss..while adys still wet preferably 😉

Unless its the picture it might not hurt to clean the floor up a bit before continuing.

yep I will have a cleanup, and I've got the screws and washers so will put those on also.

I'm trying to work out how many levelling clips/wedges I will need for this job, I've got 42 800 x 800mm tiles to put down, which works out as 23.3ish square meters,

I'm looking at;

but can't work out how many I need, doesn't help that the chart consumption chart doesn't open for me on my laptop.
