Which adhesive for Cappuccino Marble and tanking membrane?

Ronski,
As your not far from where we are based, I'll ring around a couple of my suppliers tomorrow to see what they have in stock and PM you ok?

As for the weight factor, I think you are still in the 'safe zone' so to speak.

No Dave I dont lay marble, I write technical specificiations for some of the biggest contractors and I would never in a month of Sundays specify that format size to be under 15mm. This is based on dimensional stability, and for example 15mm becomes unstable at 605x605 giving a m2 value of 0.366m2. The 12mm talked about gives a dim stability of 0.24m2 less a 3.75 ratio which puts it right on the border of dim stability.
I understand Ronski in wanting a larger format marble, but I am advising him prior to purchase what could happen. If he goes for a 15mm depth he is lessening the risk of bowing.

Like i said , different stones react in various ways..

I am not saying it won't happen to Cappuccino but nothing definite say's it will happen on a 600 x 400 tile.

Fixed correctly and with the right stone adhesive . IMO it will be ok.. but again i appreciate that the best option would be 15mm as i stated in my first post..

But the market does sell a lot of 12mm over suppliers of 15mm.. only seems to be Cappuccino that i have noticed does this.

Hi, thought I'd update this thread, I ended up getting 15mm in the end, the supplier I was going to use had no stock. When I looked around I found another supplier (stone superstore) that stocked 610 x 405 x 15mm, and I got 26m2 at £36.30 a meter, about £200 more than the other supplier but worth it I think.

Going to start tiling today, well laying the tanking first, bit nervous, but here goes.

Will post some pictures as things proceed.

Just reading the instructions for Kerraquick and it states when mixed with Latex Plus Kerraquick becomes flexible enough to use on wooden substrates.

Can someone confirm that I should be adding latex plus to Kerraquick, my floor is:

1. T&G pine floor boords
2. Ply
3. SLC with heating wire
4. Durabase CI
5. Finally the tiles

​

Edit: Also would I need Latex in the adhesive for the stud walls, which have Knauf Aqual panel on?

Just been out to my local Tile Giant, Alan's very helpful there and he said that I don't need the Latex Plus as I'm not going straight onto floor boards.

I posted some pictures in my main thread, I'll post more as I progress.

I would use Latex plus on any timber based floor
