Choosing Tiles
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.

- Hi, I am currently doing up a property and would like to tile some bathrooms walls. A couple of walls were out of square so they were straightened up with cement faced foam tiling backing board, the other two walls are conventional 1960’s plaster. Block work with sand/cement render and then a white/grey plaster on top. So my question is will 8mm porcelain 300×600’s be ok on the plastered walls?, was going to prime with SBR 1:3 water and use something like Tilemaster standard set flex bagged adhesive. I did the maths and M3 of these tiles is around 16.66kg […]
- In need of Pamesa elements hueso- 60×60 tiles.
- Hi all, I've got a porch/bathroom to tile. My contractor says to tile straight onto the concrete foundation but its a bloody mess. What prep should I do here? Latex over it all with self leveler ( Ardex na ) or should I use hardiebacker or somthing.
- our mirror fleck quart tiles have been down a year now and we love them . when we clean them with basically a moist cloth this gives the tiles such a beautiful shiny finnish then drys and dulls off . is there a sealer or the like that will give my quartz tiles a permanent "wet look" shine
- The tiler has finished the grouting and didn't say that there were any problems with the tiles. I can feel that some tiles are not smooth on the wall and you cannot see grout around every tile. When I asked him he said some of the tiles are bowed. But he didn't tell me that and there are plenty left over for him to swap – or he could have put the bowed tiles where the bath would cover it. Tell me what you think please?
- I have recently had my mothers bathroom renovated and am concerned about the standard of finish on the tiling. I have spoken to the tiler but he feels it is of a sufficient standard. I have asked him replace the tiles in image 1 and 3, he has replaced the chipped tile in image 1 but has not done the others. I just feel that perhaps he has used the wrong tile cutter or something. Any advice would be welcome….this was supposed to be replacing a bath with a shower for my elderly mother so she can stay in her […]
- Hi guys, first post after much reading. A wealth of information exists on this forum and its very appreciated that the experts are willing to pass on their knowledge. I live in france renovating a 1960s villa. Due to circumstances beyond my control , crooked builders, covid, remote work etc I have been very delayed but finally got the sub floor consisting of a low profile hydronic heating system in EPS boards mounted to a levelling concrete subfloor. And contracted a building company to install the large format (1200x 600) tiles using an mapei S2 adhesive. Unfortunately part way through […]

- Hi all. I’m booked on a well known tiling course next month but after speaking to a few of their students I’m debating cancelling. They’ve told me the course is pretty good but no floor tiles are laid. They only briefly talk you through it. Surely you need some hands on work to understand it properly. It’s put me off as it’s advertised as a wall and floor tiling course. Any thoughts appreciated Thanks.
- Hi all, I’m new to the tiling game.. in fact I’m not in the game I’m just a keen DIYer! I have fully ripped out my en-suite and taking on the project myself. Plumbing moved new shower tray fitted and Floor is nearly tiled, I’m just struggling with the Carpet – tile transition (see pics). Could anyone recommend a trim for This? Thanks Brad. P.S this is my first post.
