    Default cement backed? marble, what best to use...

    Hi all, quoted a job just before Christmas to lay wall and floors using a marble tile.The actual marble is very thin,seems about 5or 6mm but it is backed with a grey material,never come acroos this type before. has anyone else?

    The guy supplying customer has recommended Bal rapid set flexi for walls and floors to her.Its a large tile, 40x60cm and heavy. Would you use this or different?,I'd appreciate any thoughts and reasons for different choices so to tell customer

    Thanks in advance

    I've used these on several occasions and what has been recommended is correct.

    yes use the flexi but if customer wants beige grout cream etc use the white flexi adhesive instead of grey makes job easier to grout
