Sand And Cement As Adhesive? - TilersForums.com

[Rizzle from the Portizzle]

Ray, it is easy to do I agree. Trouble is building regs don't always allow it as I have found out on the job I am doing later in the week.
40m2 floor to be built up 80mm ish , building control said no, had to find another solution.

10mm marmox boards on a block and beam floor will give the same insaltion challenge them to prove you wrong

we have not understood, thin porcelain flatness ok. I mean 600x1200 or 1000x1000 200x1200 etc. 9 / 10mm thickness. honestly I have not find any planar.
as regards china india etc., I believe that there is nothing to learn regarding the laying of tiles.
I repeat, it's just my thought, I may be wrong.
and I can also cambiared mind.
because only the foolish never change mind

At the end of the day Ray were told what's needed for modern fixing and take their advise as written in stone, when I worked in the Ascension Islands the "sand " (crushed eggs shells over the years) was taken from a beach where the turtles laid the eggs and only at certain times could the sand be removed for any building works, it worked for screeding and render.

do not worry, do not fret, because I believe that you did not understand the translation (google traslade ...).
I know that there are such things in China, the TV also comes in italy
(as I understand) you Ray say that these works (pictures) are made with s & c?
until the measures are s & C?
you believe (again as I understand) that these jobs done with s & c. I am better than with glue?
else, I was saying that the installation of tiles made by the Chinese. (there is nothing to learn). Chinese do not work ....
now conclude that the speech is better, unfortunately the language I can not understand all the words, and then it is useless to argue.
thank you
