which slc/ adhesive for 600sq polished porcelain?

[mikey c]

Hi folks,

I'm laying 600sq black polished porcelain on my kitchen/diner floor soon and have a few prep/adhesive questions...

The floor is quite flat sand/cement render or concrete, but with a bitumin residue from some original marley reds floor tiles. I would like to use self leveliing compound over the bitumin residue so its bang on flat for a good overall finish later. What type and manufacturer would you recommend?

After drying thoroughly, which make of adhesive and should I prime the slc? (preferably not rapid set)

Despite what the supplier says, I would like to (after laying tiles) clean then to reove transit wax/sealer and then use impregnator to protect them and enhance the shine before grouting, just in case. So, which cleaner and impregnator do you guys like best?

Finally, does anyone have preferences on grout and grout sealer, or would the bottle of impregnator be ok?

I've fixed lots of tiles for kitchens and bathrooms before, but not porcelain or anything over bitumin residues (only ceramics on existing slc or plaster/p.board)

Regards,
Michael

i use SILA SLC,easy to use and not bad price.You can easily get this in b and q.I think Topps are doing a special on slc at the minute aswell for around £10 a 20kg bag.

I use ultra 2, 2 part slc and sticks extremely well

Thanks for that guys.

Anyone else point me in the right direction for adhesive, grout and sealers to keep it like new?
