Questions and Answers
Are there different types of adhesive available and which should I buy?
There are a lot of different brands and types of adhesive available, some are ready mixed some you need to add water and mix with polymer additives. The same is true for grout.
What kind of adhesive would I use to fix tiles to a timber floor?
Flexible adhesive and grout gives the best finish on timber floors as this allows for movement
Can I tile to floor board?
It is possible to tile to floor board if it is properly secured. A much better finish is achieved if floor board is covered with ply-wood, then tiled.
Do I need to buy the tiles, adhesive and grout myself?
We offer a tile buying service to enable our clients to benefit from our trade discount; our favourite stores are Steve’s Ceramics in Workington etc. If you buy the tiles your self it is worth seeking advice about the adhesive and grout that should be used. Savings can often be made on adhesives; the consumer brands that are available in DIY stores don’t always offer the best value for money.
