New to this forum and looking for advice please.
I have approx 20m2 of white porcelain floor tiles to lay , Homebases 400mm square. I am an experienced DIY'er with plenty of tiling experience in the past. I like to research what I am about to do first, but with this job it's led to lots of conflicting advice. Could someone please advise on the following :
1. The best adhesive for the job. The floor is concrete. The tiles are to be laid in the kitchen.No UFH.
2. Do I need to prime the concrete first ? If so, could you recommend a primer ?
3. Exactly when to seal them - before laying , before grouting or both ? I know they have to be done after grouting too. And a recommended sealant please.
Thanks very much.
