    Default laying quartz tiles.

    going to look at a job, customers got quartz tiles to be laid, got a few question if anyone can help..

    she wants under floor heating....think i can remember reading somewhere that it can make the edges curl up?

    what type of adhesive would you recomend (its tiling on to screed).

    do you seal them, if so is it like polished porcelain, apply sealer and buff..

    cheers.

    I'd be weary of putting on ufh, could try the supplier and check with them..

    Mapei Granirapid or Elastorapid for resin bonded tiles.

    Try these to check for sealing LTP Online

    I would have a good read through on here and then be on the phone to the manufacturer/supplier to make sure.
