Hello,
I am new to tiling and wish to fix 300mm*600mm*9mm heavy porcelain tiles onto my bathroom walls and floor. They weigh 20kg/sqm exc adhesive. The walls are cement render and the floor will be no more ply.
I have Mapei Keraflex maxi adhesive and BAL prime APD.
1. Should I prime the walls with the BAL APD or do I need to buy the Mapei primer?
2. How thick should the adhesive layer be once the tile is stuck down?
3. What is the best trowel to acheive this e.g. 5mm notched?
4. Do I need to spread any adhesive on the tile as well as the walls?
Thanks
