Mind out for thicknesses encroaching window frames, likewise with architrave around doorways. Ensure tiles you are going on to are sound, and if using large format tiles be careful not to exceed weight limits...Gaz |

remember to leave plenty of drying time for the adhesive! read the instructions on the side of the tub, usually they say leave for 3 days before grouting..then state that drying times will be extended if the tiles are large or the temp is low. | | |
