Ready Mix or Bagged Adhesive?

[Will Blackburn]

Hi,

I am tiling my bathroom. Now I used ready mixed stuff for my kitchen with 250 x 250 tiles and I know the limit on ready mix is 500 x 500.

But my tiles for the bathroom are 600 x 300, would these still be ok with ready mixed adhesive?

Thanks

Nope you need cement based adhesive in a bag .
I would also take a guess that those size tile could be porcelain ? If so make sure the dhesive is suitable for porcelain tiles.

 

[Will Blackburn]

Thanks. Any recommendations?

Are they porcelain ?
Where are you based ? Whtiling at stores do you have nearby ?

My wall tiles are ceramic I think. I'm sure these are them.. go to B & Q site and search 5052931075638. Cant post the full URL.
I am based in Liverpool. So I have B & Q, Topps Tiles, Beesley & Fildes and a few others.

Cant see anything I would use on Beesley & Fildes website. Topps wil be VERY expensive and B&Q may have some Mapei but not sure on prices ?
Plus I cant see any white standard set adhesives apart from manufacturers I would not recommend .

What would you recommend? Im running thin on options due to size of tile. I dont mind a bit of travel around Liverpool, Merseyside. Surely a tile place about?

Best wait until someone local sees this thread.

 

[Will Blackburn]

Yeah but what product would you recommend? I will search online.
