Hello,
Ok i've recently redone the kitchen and after a wee bit of advice/sanity check.
I have a section of plastered wall 1400x2300 which has been sealed and i plan on putting up split face slate tiles 400x125. The floor is joists with laminate floor.
The info I'm finding is to screw a baton at the second tile row level, tile the wall, wait for it to cure, remove baton then tile first row, is this correct? Or can I can stack these tiles from the floor up, the weight being taken vertically by the tiles below (thickest tiles are on the bottom), done over a period to allow the lower tiles to cure.
This leads me on to my second question, because of any flex in the floor, do I need a flexible joint along the base of the floor, if so, what should it consists of? Or like above just stack them up.
I was at the building merchants looking at Weber set rapid SPF low dust which seems adequate for the job,
Thanks
