600 x 600 Porcelain tiles on a worktop - TilersForums.com

[Shultzy]

From other posts I've found that 600 x 600 Porcelain tiles are suitable for worktops but which adhesive and what thickness?

If I diy do I need a longer setting time?

The grout suggested is epoxy but would silicone be suitable?

I propose to edge the front of the worktop with timber, what should I put between the tile and the wood?

Not sure which 'other posts' you have read - but be careful which 60x60cm porcelain you choose as some of those supplied by a large DIY store clearly have stated on the packaging NOT suitable for food preparation areas.

Thanks timeless john, I've posted about this on this site. I went to Porcelanosa today and they assure me that any pure porcelain tile is food safe.

Well that's okay then as long as the salesman has assured you :lol: - I should have gone to Specsavers.

Agree think they need to be glazed

Threadjack Alert!
Every time I pour a round of drinks, it goes all over the place.

I think I need glasses.

Thanks all, but what about my questions?

Why do you want to tile a kitchen work surface?
There are other more suitable materials.
