To flex or not to flex that is the question

[JIMBOB187]

Hello fellow tradesman of the highest kind (went onto Shakespear mode then) Can someone confirm that porcelain floor tile onto existing porcelain floor tile will need flexi addy even though it is on a concrete floor.

Yes I can.....

 

[charlie1]

Yes, I would think it will still require flex addy

 

[charlie1]

Just to quick there Gaz:lol:

 

[GazTech]

Dont forget the flexi or modified grout so it sticks to the porcelain...

 

[Droopy]

Yes I can.....

Would he not be better using a standard unmodified adhesive and adding AD1?
Or Mosaicfix, ofcourse?

Certainly would be a better option Droopy,if he is using BAL

 

[DHTiling]

Even better to take the old ones up and start a fresh..........:yes:

He seems intelligent, so I just assumed he was.

I agree with, Baldy

Your assumption on my inteligence is correct my good man.

I suggested taking them up (over200sqm) but the BK franchisee said no, no, no.

 

[DHTiling]

200 sqm's of over tile......rather you than me.....deffo a job for an uncoupling membrane..

 

[DHTiling]

I agree with, Baldy

I do have hair..but i draw the line at shaving my armpits...:lol:

AD1 mixed 1:1 with water and BAL Rapidset (Supercover maybe?) would probably be your best option then, JB.

I would have said Mosiacfix, but you might need to go with a rapidset due to time constraints.

JimBob, it might be a good idea to get the BAL PST in your area to come out and do a full M40 adhesive spec' for this. That will be me if you are in Scotland.

As Dave implies, 200m of tile on tile can have it's risks.
So best that you cover all bases before you start.
