Hi all,
I'm tiling a south facing balcony 36m x 4m. I plan to use expansion joints but could really use some advice as I've never used them before.
I'm tiling with 30 x 60mm porcelain tiles. Deep set bed S2
Should I use aluminium joints or leave a gap and fill with foam and silicon the top?
I've read they should be every 2 - 3 metres. If silicon and foam how wide should I make each expansion joint? Many thanks.

What did it end up being? The faucets piping or the trap? U-bend, whatever it was.

You know we own www.PlumbersForums.net also.

Pan liner attaches to the drain via 4 bolts/clamp ring collar. On top of liner there is a mortar bed/tile. The water penetrates the grout/mortar bed all the way to the pan liner. The shower pan will trap in the water/never gets dry unless you stop using it for 3 months. Water/moist will rust the bolts contaminating the liner. Liner gets brittle over time & starts to crack around the drain

adped from Porcelquick fixing guide says that you need to use grout with the tiles, can this be done with no grout for drainage?

I have just grouted the Brazilian slate tiles and it was a disaster. The grout dried instantly on the tile surface and I had to scrub it off. I sealed the tiles first as follow;
I washed the slates 3 times and let dry for a day before applying matstone tile sealer, 2 coats with clean cloths and all was fine.
I buffed the sealer as the instructions and left for 3 days before starting to grout
please help me

Hi. How much did you pay for the tiling?

Bathroom shop job. Basically termed a 'mixed contract' Bathroom fitter (JDC plumbing and tiling) Joe Williams paid just over 3 grand to fit the bathroom and do the tiling. Overall cost comes to £10500 notes. Expensive compared to BandQ etc... but we paid for high end stuff and high end fitting and tiling. What we have got is high end stuff, exptremely low end fitting and tiling.

Seen some very poor tiling today from a so called tiler ...how do we get the crap out of our industry ? Maybe a name and shame page?
