Hi all,
I bought some tiles for my bathroom wall, including a shower over bath area
The shop advertised them as porcelain so I’ve been finding an adhesive suitable for that. Having received the tiles, the box says ‘dry-pressed ceramic tiles, with water absorption Eb <0.5%’
It says ceramic tiles, but as the water absorption is <0.5% so does this mean they are indeed porcelain?
I was hoping to use a ‘ready to go’ adhesive but all the ones I’ve looked at don’t seem to be suitable for porcelain. Reading the tile box has made me wonder if I can use a mix for ceramic tiles?
If I need to use a mix for porcelain, I was planning on using this:
Mapei Standard Set Plus Ceramic & Porcelain Tile Adhesive Grey 20kg | Wickes.co.uk - https://www.wickes.co.uk/Mapei-Standard-Set-Plus-Ceramic+Porcelain-Tile-Adhesive-Grey-20kg/p/252711
After preparing the wall with the Mapei Waterproofing Kit.
Does this seem like a reasonable plan?
