Hi Guys

Problem with some tiles i have put up a few days ago, 3 of the tiles are loose. I took them of and the tiles looked like they had just come out of the box, the addi was fine on the wall (solid). Anybody any idea what the problem is ?:mad2:

What adhesive is it..?....and tile type.

Does it have indentations or ridges on the back of the tile ?

Hi
Tiles are 99p (each)tops ceramic, addi is nicobond tubbed and the tiles have ridges

 

[DHTiling]

thanks....now what size trowel did you use and what was your fixing method..?..

A fine layer of dust on the back of the tiles can make this happen.

Sounds like they're not stuck on properly.


Sorry couldn't resist that, :lol:

6mm notched trowel and addi to the wall
