Adhesive For Fixing 600 X 300 Ceramics. - TilersForums.com

[mike32]

Hi all,

Have some 600 x 300 ceramic tiles to fix onto skimmed plasterboard walls (bare old plaster not fresh, old tiles removed) what would be the recommended adhesive for this job?
Also what size notched trowel would be best? It's in a bathroom which includes tiling of a walk in shower.
Any advice/tips would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Mike.

Hi, if your doing a walk in shower then I would be looking at a tanking kit for your walls before you tile.
Adhesive will need to be a powder as that size of tile is too big for tubbed addy.

Floor trowel, waterproof the walls using a BAL Tanking Kit/WP1 or similar and a powder based adhesive. Tubs will not dry properly behind 3x6. From any brand, as the process requires air and at that size, you will have a nightmare (I'm talking many days, not hours!)
