    Default New Tilers Support - 1

    Just a quick one. I am aware that if you as a newer tiler have any questions, it's not always easy to just explain them in a new post on here. And you can't always find somebody with the same problem with the solution already stated.

    Now as we are the fastest growing tiling forums related forums, we want to stay the best in the game.

    So if any of you have any problems, questions or just need guiding in the right direction, then tell me what your problems are in here and I'll do my very best to help you out.

    Problems might be tiling skill related, product related, business related, maybe customer orientated? I don't know. But anything at all, ask in here and lets get this cleared up as soon as we can.

    Thanks for your time so far registering and reading the forums. I hope this post helps many people out eventually!

    THIS THREAD IS NOW CLOSED FOR POSTING DUE TO ITS SIZE - PLEASE USE THE NEW THREAD FOUND HERE.

    I'm sure there are a few tilers on here will give you pointers on tiling directly onto chipboard, and i'm not saying in any way or fashion that it is wrong to do so, however i always overlay with ply first, then give it a coat of acrylic primer watere down to the correct ratio (normally around 3:1), not pva. Pva won't do anything on a wooden floor, you must use acrylic primer. Thats my advice, i'm sure someone will be able to give you more info on tiling directly to the chipboard .

    If it's the new green chipboard type flooring (which is water-resistant) you might not need to prime them. You certainly don't need to PVA them (don't use PVA when you need to prime something, use a primer that is from the same adhesive brand!).
