John the tile
Hey up.
A freind wants his kitchen floor tiling. Its a council house. He currently has 9inch light beige hard/rigid plastic tiles down. I managed to break a corner of one up and it breaks into pieces. They are tiled onto a concrete substrate and there is a black sticky adhesive with a wafer thin brown paper mixed in it. (from the corner bit I broke up).
The tiles are of sound condition. I only managed to break a bit up because of the new kitchen units are thinner than the old, so there is a 1 inch gap all round.
What are my options prior to tiling? FROM MY SEARCHING IVE READ THESE MOST PROBABLY HAVE ASBESTOS IN THEM.
Ive also read I can tile over them if they are of good condition which they are...
Ive also read of people using a sbr slurry??? prior to tiling onto them? Could someone explain the details of this. I usually use mapei/tilegiant products...
I was initially going to take them up with heavy duty scraper, but ive been scared of because of the ASBESTOS.
P.S could I use a 2 part self levelling floor screed over the top of them,.??? Then tile away a few days later?
Any advice Thanks.
