[doug boardley]

Tiled onto sand/cement render today for first time in ages, walls were nice and flat etc. It was a pleasure to tile onto! I think it's my favourite substrate to tile onto when it's been done right. Just wondering what eveyone elses' favourite is?:yes:

Anything that is flat will do. Plasterboard, tile board, render, skimmed plaster etc.

Having said that I often do remove the top finishing coat if it means I'll expose lovely cement sand render.

We do a lot of mudbeds, floors and walls. Lately we have been doing a lot of SLC on the floors because now we are installing a Laticrete heat mat that is good for SLC to flow in and around the mat and the cables.

I enjoy floating the mud but I am glad we are done with it every time we do one. It's too much like real work!
