[QUOTE="Leroy Brown, post: 981611, member: 49745"] Hi. Thank you so much for replying to my post and the advice. I will do as you have stated. If I may, could I ask what spacers to use (not size). I have seen some fancy ones or the cheap ones. Do people use a levelling system on 600 x 300 on a wall. I have built my walls and they are pretty plumb but not sure how bowed the tiles will be. I have been trying tests to see what thickness of adhesive I need to use when fitting my shower valve etc by bedding a 600 x 600 (one I had left) tile down with a 10mm square notched trowel and back buttering and got 6mm adhesive bed but only about 85% covereage. So this I believe will be ok for the 300 x 600. For the floor going to go with a 12mm x 12mm trowel and back buttering. This then I belive will give me 7mm adhesive bed. Does this sound right? The thing I am a little confused about is the trims, if I have a 9mm tile and use a 10mm trim, what about the thickness of the adhesive? I have seen people push the trim behind the tile after the tile was fixed. Is this OK? Thanks all. I am a plumber, who did a tiling course yrs ago to tile my own bathrooms but have forgot lots.
