What size trowel..?

Hi everyone, i'm tiling a bathroom floor onto ply, the tiles are ceramic, 430 x 430 x 10mm, what size trowel should i use, also
the same tiles are going onto the walls, (they can), what size trowel should i use for the walls please..?

I'd use a 10mm round notch on the floor (don't forget to backskim the tiles also) and a 10mm square notch on the walls. The round notch will do both, so no need to buy 2 trowels, just my preferences. Just to add, is your floor deflection free, how thick is the ply and what adhesive/grout are you using?

Same for me, might use 8mm on the walls though if they were straight enough.

The walls are fresh skim, so nice and flat, i was gonna use a mapei tub ad but coz of size, i'm not so sure, for the floor i'll use a cement based powder, what would you reccomend and what grout please..?

I would use a 10mm notched trowel for both wall and floor

Always use a flexi adhesive for the floor

For the walls use a standard set powered adhesive white

Good Luck

Any grout as long as it is flexible and depending on what colour you want

Do you assume because fresh skim that they are flat? i often find this can be the worst surface to tile on to! Get a 1.8 meter feather edge or level over it and check the walls are ok! I would go with 10mm round notch trowel for both walls and floor IF they are straght! :-)
