    If you are going for large format tiles then defo powder adhesive, whitestar is only for a max tile size of 300mm x 300mm.

    tile size isn't the issue,,,,tile weight per m2 is what you want to thinking about, as for using tubbed adhesive, hmm not really, you wanna be using a decent bagged addy.

    As per Doug, large format tiles need a cement based ( bagged ) adhesive, but tile weight is also a problem in your case, plastered walls = 20 kg m2, inc tile, addy, grout.
