[QUOTE="Zoot, post: 873922"] (Excuse my mistakes, English isn't my first language) Moved to Scotland recently, I work in the oil industry. Not a great place to be these days, but am enjoying the cheaper petrol. I just ripped up all the shower floor tiles in my new house (a small remodelled stone barn) because the grout was cracked and the tile adhesive had decomposed somehow to a powdery paste and were all very loose. They were laid on the surface of a screed covering that overlays the floor heating circuits. I suspect that expansion and contraction over the last 3 years cracked the grout and that water leaked under the tiles but I'm not sure. The shower is in a utility room in a configuration which I think is called 'wet room'. The water falls on the floor tiles or drops from the tile walls to a drain, in theory. So I wanted to do it all over and took out all the floor tiles, an easy job because 99% of the tiles were loose due to the failed adhesive. I removed all the degenerated adhesive from the floor and the tiles, and am ready to relay the tiles but I'm stuck here. SO..... If I repeat what the original builder did I'll probably be doing it all over again in 3 years. Is there a special adhesive for ceramic porcelain tiles that adheres to a screed base and is flexible enough to withstand temperature changes from say 10 degrees Celsius to 40 (ish). And is there a special grout that I need to use this situation? Any advice heartily appreciated... [/QUOTE]
