Was looking at Ardex A35 Broken Link Removed Advantage is I can grade the fall down from the kitchen doorway to the 15mm minimum depth at other end and could tile next day. Obviously not the insulation properties but that wasn't a concern. Has anyone used this and have advice/opinions?

Ideally I would remove but if so, I need to raise floor height by average 12-15mm which, if slc'd, would mean a 25kg bag for each mm. Very expensive and time consuming. Is a viable alternative doing the bulk of it with fast setting sand and cement screed, then slc the last few mm? Otherwise...

I'm starting a hall on Monday 2.5 x 7.5m. Will be laying herringbone pattern like attached pic. Hall was originally 2 rooms, now knocked into one, 2/3 is tiled, rest is wood flooring on solid floor. Levels are not great, where tiled part meets kitchen the last 400mm or so slopes up 25mm to meet...

Sorry mate but 220m at 1/2hr per m is only 110 hours. only 55 days if you do a 2 hr day............, so more like 9-12 man days. Just in case someone's using that number without checking it, would be embarassing

Cheers Ray, good to meet you yesterday. Sure you'll find this place v useful, if ntg more than spreading the word on your ranges within the tiling community. Speak soon.

Re: http://www.my-tool-shed.co.uk/p1012430/DeWalt_DWC410_240_Volt_Hand_Held_Wet_Circu Ok, 1 in a 1000 doesn't sound much. I have a Topps Tiles Vitrex 750w Portable Wet Saw W | Topps Tiles but it's 2/3 years old and motor starting to sound very rough. As this is comparable price and 'looks'...

Re: http://www.my-tool-shed.co.uk/p1012430/DeWalt_DWC410_240_Volt_Hand_Held_Wet_Circu How do you find it, is it good kit? What do you use it for, does it compare well to table saw for accurate cut etc...?

Does anyone have one of these? For £118 it looks very good. Always used table wet saws, wondered how this type works, ie do you clamp tile to workbench and run saw along it? How does this compare with traditional wet saw........

Topps are the pits....... So no problem with overlaying 12mm ply with 6mm 'marmox' using addy and screws/washers??? Seems a no brainer when you think about it........

So why would you use 6mm hardi on ply for floors when you can buy these for nearly 1/2 the price?

Doddy, are their 10mm boards like marmox ie same weight-bearing limits, do you know?

Looks great well done. Re Jakarta I think they are great tiles for the money, I've done several jobs with them, as i supply and fit, I can build in good margin with them looking more expensive and customers invariably think they look great. You have sealed them i assume? Re wandering cuts I...

Well, then you are depending on the paint layer supporting the increased weight of the p/b adhesive, p/b, tile adhesive and tiles....... You could mechanically fix the p/b although not that easy to get it plumb. I would roughen the paint as much as poss, SBR bond it and it should hold ceramics ok
