DIY Related: Tiling Whole Bathroom

[Paul_GPvR]

Hi there,

I'm almost up to the stage of tiling my new bathroom which i've totally gutted and refurbished.

There will be a wetroom shower in one corner of the bathroom. I've used an impey wetdec and have the impey tilesafe kit etc.

Walls - Most are covered in 10mm wediboard, some in plasterboard. Will probably be tiled in light beige 316x450mm

Floor - The floor is 22mm t&g floorboards, (with the required bracing for underneath the wetdec). I'll be covering all the floor except for the wetdec in 10mm wediboard. Use the tilesafe sheet on the floor and partially up the side of the shower walls. Then using devimat UFH in wetroom and rest of the floor. The wetdec and under the sink will be tiled in large mosaics eg. 45x45x9mm, the rest of the bathroom floor will be tiled in Slate Effect Porcelain 300x600x11

The questions i have are:-

Should i use screws or adhesive to attach the wediboard to the floorboards?

Can you recommend an adhesive to use on the wall tiles? I'm thinking of using BAL Single Part Flexible adhesive (White)

Can you recommend an adhesive to use on the floor tiles? I'm thinking of using BAL Single Part Flexible adhesive (White)

Can you recommend a cream/ivory colour grout to use on the wall tiles? I'm thinking of using BAL Superflex Wall Grout (IVORY)

Can you recommend a charcoal colour grout to use on the floor tiles? I'm thinking of using BAL Superflex Wide Joint Grout (lime, sand, charc)

Is it best to tile the walls first and then the floor? Or what would you advise?


Thanks for anyhelp whatsoever,


Paul

Your've got alot of questions Paul, I've never used wedi board.
Spf on the walls
Spf on the floor would be grey because your using charcoal grout
I use mapei but the grout you suggest is good on the walls
I would use mapei charcoal for the floor if you can get it, Bal is good also, The dark grout bugger to clean though
If you use a light colour grout use white addy, If dark grout use grey adhesive
I would tile walls first then the floor but if you go for a dark grout on the floor, grout that first then the walls. The dark grout will contaminate the lighter one

I know this might sound a crazy question..

But have you considered outsourcing the actual tiling of this room to a tiler?

In my opinion (I am not a tiler!) they can take care of these sorts of issues for you. And the job is then guaranteed.

It looks to me like you have done your homework you have already answered all your questions.. Except the screws or adhesive to attach the wediboard one and you can use both.
