Hi,
I am having a quarry tiles laid and the tiler has asked me to get the materials for laying the tiles. I haven't any experience of this so was hoping for some advice.
So I have a concrete floor, with layer of screed, underfloor heating insulation mats, electric underfloor heating mats and finally a self leveler. I am laying fully extruded quarry red quarry tiles and have been told to leave a grout gap of 10mm and to use flexible grouting I think I also need flexible adhesive becasue of the underfloor heating. The tiles will be sealed prior to grouting and again after - I want a sealer with a matt finish. The floor is 12m2 and the tiler has said that he will do this in 1 day so do not know if I need rapid set materials. I have been recommened Lithofin KF Stain Stop as a sealer although tiler said HG sealer would be ok.
So can anyone advise what I would need to get these tiles laid and ifd possible the sort of quantities I would need?
Also regarding the grout colour I was just going to get a grey grout but is there a colour that is traditionally used for red quarry tiles or a best colour grout?
Cheers,
Sazza
