Default pebble shower floor tiles

hi,

if I want to use pebble floor tiles (I mean these d.i.y pebble tiles), which is the most recommended cement I should use in order to achieve long term durability to water and in order to hold the tiles strong enough?

thanks,

Kelly P.

Tanking i believe is the best way to waterproof the shower area and as for adhesive it would depend onto what substrate you are tiling to

Welcome to the forums. As Turkish mentioned above, tanking the shower is neccessary. Talking about a cement based addy in bag look for an adhesive acc. to EN 12004 classified C2FT. That is a strong one and the (F)ast component helps keeping the pebble in position and not rolling off.
