    Default Adhesive Coverage

    Hi , I have a question on addy coverage. Im laying 15m2 of 600x600 large format tiles and am wondering if anyone knows the rough coverage id get from a 20kg bag of addy ? I plan on using a 15mm U notch trowel for the bed.

    I was thinking maybe 3m2 per bag but not 100% sure.
    Any ideas??

    Thanks

    with a 15mm trowel I'm assuming it's a floor, off top of my head you'll probably need 3 if substrate is flat

    As long as you are getting a solid fix 100% coverage then it is upto you really.....bed your tile and re-lift and see what covergae you are getting,,if not enough then up the notch size..PTB flexi is good for 600x600
