Terry the tiler
Good evening chaps, I have a quick question regarding adhesive.
So I went to price a job the other day for another customers father, it's a riverside property built on piling all timber frame and unfortunately has a floating floor. Now I told the guy I wasn't happy to tile it explained all the risks but he's adamant he wants it tiling (or his wife does) so I agreed to do it but take no responsibility for any movement and cracking.
To be fair the floor is more solid than you would expect and I have got him to fix hardie backer staggard on top to give more strength and less flex.
It's an area of around 25m and the tiles are 600X600 gloss porcelain.
Now that you know the details I suppose the question I'm asking is what adhesive would you guys suggest I use, I would usually use a Weber or bal rapid spf but I suppose I'm looking for something with a bit more flex.
I plan to also lay a bal or ditra DE-coupling matt down first as well.
Any help would be appreciated, and please don't judge me for tiling a floating floor but this is risk free for me as once I leave it's his responsibility.
Grout ideas would be handy too. I usually go for mapei or bal microflex
Thanks
