Large Porcelain Job help ! - TilersForums.com

Good evening
Looking for some advice I have been tiling for a few years know but tend to stick to 600x300 size tiles and below when installing. I have a job where I need to install 1000x600 large porcelain tiles 10mm thick.
I intended to use cement based tile board on the walls, can I use a standard mapei flexible tile adhesive and if so at what thickness.
Any recommendations hints and tips would be highly appreciated!!

Hi. When using larger tiles you will generally use a thicker bed of adhesive to give yourself more tolerance for any surface variation. Everyone has their own preference on adhesive brands. Personally I quite like the ultra tile flexible adhesive. It holds its form, has a nice buttery consistency and can be bedded up to 20mm thick. Using levelling clips should keep everything spot on, just take them out the next day whilst the adhesive is green. 👍

You are fine with the mapei ! But use deep notch 10mm or more and also I do same on back of tile !! ! But try get walls flat before you start tiling makes life so much easier !! Seal the boards too
