I would recommend however, that you use a strong mortar mix or self levelling to get down to an accurate 12.5mm bed and use rapid set adhesive for the actual tiles. The main problem with laying them direct is that you have too many jobs on the go at once. There is nothing to stop you laying them onto wet concrete or screed as you go but you must be sure of geting the level laid correctly, tamp it as you go, trowel it flat from ripples and work to the bottom of the tiles you just laid. You must do it all quickly too. If you think you are competent to do that, go for it. How long will it take to do the edges? Fit nicely up to the walls will they? No diagonal bonds then. -- Posted via Mailgate.ORG Server - http://www.Mailgate.ORG |
