Choosing tiles for the right floor or wall can be one of the hardest parts of the whole process of tiling. The sticking them on, and selecting the right adhesive to use, is often the easiest bit.

- I’m about to tile a small bathroom floor with 20cm porcelain tiles on a very solid floor overlaid with 12mm WBP using Mapei Keraquick with latex. I’ve used this before and 10 years on still good, no cracks etc. But the local tile supplier says I should use anti-crack matting. I always thought you should over-ply to eliminate movement, yet what he showed me would appear to allow movement??? Am I missing something here and why is he saying this is necessary? I’d be grateful if someone could explain the tech aspects and exactly how this works?
- I'm trying to source around 32 Johnsons MON05P moonstone polished 600x600mm tiles which have gone out of production – if anyone has any spares that would save me retiling my whole kitchen! Thanks, Rob
- Hi guys. Client is installing Wunda underfloor heating on the first floor. Ive never done it before so Im looking for some advice. Wunda tech team has given us three options. Tile straight on top of the polystyrene and integrate the ahesive into the exposed pipework. Lay Ditra over the top and then tile. Or lay interlocking hardiebacker board and then lay on that. Problem is the Hardiebacker board is 18 mm thick. The tech tean has also said the we must use the mapei s2 adhesive but my local store can only supply the keraquick with the lstex additive […]

- Hi, first post here. I've been lurking this forum for advice for a while, thank you all who share your knowledge. I'm to tile a kitchen of an old (old old) house, farmers concrete with NO DPM, house has no dpc, stone walls. Area 17 sqm, waves up to 12 mm difference, to be finished with porcelain tile. This house has been diy'd by different individuals for over 60 years, such is the nature of the place I'm afraid. We lifted lino with rotten chipboard and a sheet of plastic (DPM) underneath. Concrete was fairly wet, now dried, at least […]
- Our ground floor construction is a mesh reinforced structural concrete floor that was poured using Aggregate Industries' Agilia self levelling / self compacting concrete so as to eliminate the wasteful screed process (Agilia® – https://www.aggregate.com/products-and-services/ready-mix-concrete/performance/agilia). The result is a perfectly smooth and flat concrete floor (76m2) that we now wish to tile over in porcelain . I have checked with their technical team who advise – “It would also be worth scarifying the surface so that there's a good key as you may not get good adhesion without it. Then you need to ensure you use a cementitious based tile […]
- Recently had new bathroom installed, is it acceptable to have the shower screen fitted onto the wall or should it have been onto the tiles, photo attached, any advice appreciated.

I'll be using Mandarin Stone Hendre creme 10mm thick 1200×600 porcelain tiles. I've previously used these for a floor in my sunroom and they went down well, I used […]
