New toilet - what to bed onto?
 

A new toilet is to go on top of ceramic tiles. What do I put between them?

Silicone?

The previous one had mortar between it and the concrete floor.

TIA.

Ceramic pan on ceramic tiles, might "grind" a little, since the bottom
of the pan is rarely completely flat, so the bedding is not just a
protection against the poorly aiming man.

Saw a plumber doing a pan in the Gents at work.
He stood it on 4 or 5 tile spacers (2mm ones probably)
and then siliconed around the base, using enough silicone
that it would have gone right through the 2mm gap and
built up on the other side. I didn't see if he pulled
out the spacers afterwards or cut them off.

Looks like a good idea - and I'll be removing the spacers.

Thanks.

Worth bearing in mind - one point worth making is that the silicon is
enough that you don't need to screw the pan down as well.

After reading the last few posts some weeks ago, that is exactly what I did.

Propped it up squirted silicone under it and more down the screw holes,
removed props and cleaned up excess..

Seems fine to me...

I am about to install a WC onto a smooth concrete floor so this
silicone method sounds good.
However ther seem to be loads of 'types' of silicone (builder's,
sanitary, high modulus, low modulus, general purpose, etc)
so which type do you recommend?

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember F saying
something like:

A new toilet is to go on top of ceramic tiles. What do I put between them?

Silicone?

Or expanding foam.

Is WHAT a sin? You forgot to provide any trimmed context beofore your
comment. Oh yes and you left a ream of untrimmed irrelevance trailing in its
wake.
