    Default What primer should I use for a concrete floor

    HI, I am about to tile with porcelain tiles onto a concrete floor in a new build flat.
    Tiles are I am told 30 x 40cm.
    Three areas to do, bathroom, kitchen and hall.

    Floors are apparently dry and confirmed as such, because client is having a wooden floor also installed in the lounge area and has had damp/humidity test done.

    So, is there any primer that I should put down first?
    I intend to use Ultra one part rapid flex adhesive with matching Ultra flexible grout.

    Thanks in anticipation. Karl, MJPS, Leeds

    Hi and welcome.

    No need, it's a new floor.

    What tiles are they, ceramic etc.

    Hi Whitebeam, They are porcelain.

    I had advice from another source to use an acrylic primer. Would this be of benefit?

    Ultra do a primer in an orange carton 2.5l iirc called "prime it", I use that one when I use Ultra adhesive.

    It would'nt do it any harm but I've laid on screed floors with no primer and not had a problem..

    If the floor is old and dusty then use a primer.

    Thanks for the help !! Yes Doug I use that Ultra primer on ply, might just give Ultra tech dept a quick call but sounds as though that stuff will do it.

    Thanks again!
