hi guys. i got my first job to to. whoo hoo. its a floor in porcelain. im thinking ill need to seal it, what do you think? the floor is strong enough and is level but i just removed the old vinyl tiles. proper ones, but there is still glue on the floor. will i need to remove this also? im using a flexi cement based adhesive. thanks guys..

Is the porcelain polished or glazed

Get a piece of tile and put a mark on it with a permanent marker pen, leave it a minute then try and wipe it off with your finger, if it stays / stains then seal if not dont.

when you removed the vynal tiles was it ply sheeted,if so then you are right about removing the glue and using flexi-addy,just make sure there is enough screws throughout the plywood!

take your time and good luck!

hi guys, thanks. the tile is not polished. the floor already has a thick ply overlay. the glue will be an absalute nightmare to try and remove wich is why i was wondering if i could just use a flexi over the top. its glue that was spread onto the wood not glue from the tiles. help. im due to start soon. thanks guys.
