I am tiling the following floors in my house renovation and was wondering what the views are on whether I should use Mapei Latex Plus:
The other adhesive suppliers I've spoken to have said that I don't need need Latex Plus and it's only needed if tiling on to difficult substrates or overly flexible surfaces. Do you think that I will need Latex Plus?
Also the underfloor heating instructions says that I can tile straight over the heating cables/insulation boards without priming. My plan was to use 5mm Mapei Ultraplan Renovation Screed as a self-levelling compound as recommended anyway. But, do you think the heating cables/insulation boards will be to be primed or has it just been recommend for the sake of it?
The other adhesive suppliers I've spoken to said that I can use Mapei Keraquick with the glass mosaic tiles on the tanked shower wall. Again, I don't know if Adexilex P10 and Isolastic have been recommend for the sake of it or whether it is actually required. What do you think? Will Keraquick be suitable?
Any opinions or recommendations will be helpful. Thanks!
What size spacers or size range of spacers would you recommend for the above tiles/surfaces with the recommended products?
Also, from what I've found, pureadhesion.co.uk and tilegiant.co.uk seem to be the most competitively priced for Mapei products but are there any other recommended suppliers online or in-store? For the project I estimate the spend on the Mapei products will be £500+.
- 900x900 slate tiles on concrete floor
- 600x600 Porcelain tiles on electric underfloor heating on top of underfloor heating insulation boards
- Glass mosaic tiles on Mapei tanked shower wall
