Tiles 40 x 40cm, ply wood is 6mm. Which adhesive will be the best ?

Thank you for your comments.

6mm ply is not suitable to tile on. If your over boarding floorboards then 15mm ply minimum

6mm ply is not suitable for tiles, min 15mm, better with 18mm depending on subfloor. If any deflection (bounce) it may be better to over board 18mm ply with cement board ie: Hardie board, or the like.

you did explain it a little better than I did

Hi guys, thanks for advice.
I was thinking about over boarding old chipboard with 6mm ply.
What should I do now ??
Should I remove old chipboard and lie a 18 ply wood only ??

Cheers

If you can remove the chipboard then lay 18 or 22mm ply on top of the joists that should be ok

What size is the area your tiling?

You could over board the ply with 6mm tile backerboard to give a good surface to tile on

Cheers united, I'll use 18mm ply wood.
It's a small bathroom about 4 sq m.
But I still don't know which adhesive is best for porcelain and ply
Any advice ?

Thanks

I would use Mapei Keraquick and latex plus, ( just my personal choice)

same opinion here

prime the ply with ardex p51 primer and use ardex x7001 to stick your porcelain tiles with

I'd go with 18mm wbp ply, 6mm hardiebacker (adhesive and screws) and the fix porc tiles with keraquick (mapei)

Should I use PVA if I want to use that Mapei Keraquick and latex plus???

Thanks

NOOOOO!!! Never use PVA in tiling. Don't think Mapei recommend priming the tiling face of ply before tiling.

As Grumpy, Never PVA, if you go with Mapei then primerG is the stuff you need (SBR)

Floor is almost ready. With the floor I will go for Mapei Keraquick and latex plus.

Can I use mapei Keraquick for my tiles on plasterboard (on the wall) ??

Should I use that primer G on the floor and on the walls as well ??

Thanks for your help guys.
