Tiling outdoors when it’s wet
Looks like the best option is Ditra8 drain for wildest Northumberland then? It still needs to be dry before priming and throughout fitting though? -

Tiling outdoors when it’s wet
Morning all. I have an outside tiling job coming up (800x400x10mm porcelain) on a concrete slab. The builder has built it with a decent drop and it’s pretty flat. The issue is the weather. I have been told that the base needs to be completely dry before I start as any moisture in the concrete... -

I need a smaller cutter
I have my old TS40 still and it’s fine unless you get tough porcelain. Not sure which way to jump for a replacement but I do love my big Sigma- spooner68

Which tile adhesive did you use most during 2018
Tilemaster for me but not so keen on the grout. Try to use BAL grout funnily enough.- spooner68

CAD Software, anybody got recommendations?
A bit of both really but I think it’s the concept that’s most important. Quite often clients can’t picture what I’m suggesting and sketches/scale drawings aren’t really professional enough. -

Grout coming away from outdoor tiles
The tiles seem well bonded but I’m sure if I put a bit of effort in they’d come away. Do you reckon a ditra cover and re-tile would solve it? Or maybe overlay with cement board, then ditra (or similar)? Just looking at options for them without trashing the whole area.- spooner68

Grout coming away from outdoor tiles
I have a client that has an outdoor area tiled with 20mm porcelain (600x600mm) where the grout is breaking out of the joints. It is on a very solid timber platform with (I’m assured) 25mm outdoor grade plywood as the top. It has been grouted with Kerakoll Fugalite Bio which now has come away...- spooner68

British Ceramic Tiles - They actually want our feedback
I have fixed Devonstone grey and Ditto grey and cream in the past year and they were dreadful. The devonstone discoloured very quickly, the glaze is actually absorbent and is a bugger to keep clean. The ditto tiles I now refuse to fix as the glaze chips badly with a dry cut and absolutely... -

First problem in 10 years....
I've always put the guidelines for drying times and how to commission UFH into my quote so its in black and white. As the years have gone by this has become a standard (lengthy) paragraph but on the 2 occasions there have been problems I've found that either the screed hadn't been left to dry...
