    Sorry try again, The floor I will be tiling [at the moment] has corked tiles which are glued down, I will be removing them shortly, underneath the cork tiles is a good level concrete floor.

    I have been given different advise on which adhesive, type, how think etc. to use with the ceramic floor tiles.The tiles are 400x400, Some have said glue others concrete base mix.

    Cheers
    Dennis
