what adhesive to use for fixing large format tiles to aqua4ma wet room panels

Do you know what the panels are made of.

thanks for time jcr i think it might be upvc.its rectangular t&g panels that are solvent welded together. i saw a video on youtube which made it look a doddle to use so i bought in now i'm beginning to regret but it cost to much to ditch it now

I'd give them a call and ask.

 

[Dumbo]

Do they have a recommended adhesive.

It only mentions a “flexible waterproof cement based adhesive”.

I think you should get a panel off cut and test stick a tile to and see how hard it is to get it off once adhesive is fully dry . If this proves a week bond I would consider fixing a self adhesive membrane to board before tiling like impey membrane .

Not that I can see. I did email them asking can any tile adhesive be used they replied ''yes you can use adhesive as long as it's flexible''. so i'll ring there technical dept for a recommendation and post what the say. many thanks for contributions to my thread.

Ask them who's adhesive they have tested with their product with then contact that company and ask them for written method statement

I'll do that and get back to you thanks
