I really think you need to contact adhesive manufacturers , If one say that you can do it then "knock your self out."

I have contacted adhesive manufacturers over doing something which I wasn't happy about . They said it would be OK so asked them to send me a written specification on how to do the job . They wouldn't. Question what does that tell you .?

Bal say it is good to go then go for it.... BUT when it fails , then see what response you get from Bal..

I shall not input anymore as cannot really add to the majority and cannot be assed to argue why with those that say it should be done... so as said above .. knock yourself out and don't complain when it does go **** up.

I can guess and it won't be don't worry we will send a technician to sort it all out as our adhesive clearly haven't performed as expected

I checked with Bal this morning and you CAN tile onto Karndean if,
The Karndean is not the cushioned type,
The Karndean is well fixed the the substrate,
The substrate is a concrete or sand/cement type,
And the Karndean is degreased prior to fitting the tiles.

And Bal don't usually mince their words, it's either black or white.

Funny you black or white I had limestone grout from them that was grey but they said it was limestone so that was OK by their standards .

I've just used 20kgs of Limestone grout from KeraKoll.......which strangely enough bears a striking resemblance to light grey!

Hopefully you get further than I did with bal . I even brought some more of their grout mixed it up let it dry . It was clearly a different colour but they said it was in their colour tolerances . Wasn't in my customers tolerances . I agreed and rectified it at my expense
