What tile is that, porcelain etc

not sure, i saw them in Tile Giant last week. does it make a difference to the adhesive and grout i use ?

You don't mean Travertine by any chance, a natural stone tile beige ish colour

LOL, yes i do.

sorry about that typo

Worth getting yourself a m2 of decoupling membrane, dittra or durabase c1.

It's a small floor but for £12 worth the effort for the membrane

then it has to be white adhesive

right so for my Travertine tiles, i need a white flexible cement adhesive and a flexible grout

yes,you will be better off using mapei as there jasmine grout is the berries for travertine

Backskim the tiles as you lay them

ok thanks,.

how quick does the adhesive go off ? and how thick should the adhesive be for the tile to be laid on.
