    Default Garage Floor

    I have been asked to tile a 70sq mtr garage floor with a Topps Tile porcelain 10mm x 300mm x 300mm tile....
    Anyone done a garage floor before ? Are there any specific proplems assuming client may be using it to work on vehicles and constant use by all sizes of automobiles...
    Porcelain tile cement has been recommended and similar grout. Will the grout joints hold up with constant heavy traffic over them.

    you will need to degrease the substrate first before you even think of tiling it once you are happy that you have a clean floor then do as pete f says and back spread the tile with adhesive and use a deep notch trowel minimum 10mm use one of the rapid setting wide joint grouts pci durafug is good and the ardex gk is also good grout suitable for this type of job

    The floor is a new concrete base so probably won't need de-greasing. Just need to check how long its been down.
