Got a degree in Fine Art which sadly wouldn't pay my bills. Started work in a Tile Studio, making painting and glazing ceramic tiles. Decided i would like to fit them as well as make them so did a short course at The Master Tiling School in Essex. Met a great bunch and worked for their fitting...
I have a Battipav Wetsaw that has a few years under its belt. It still works perfectly but id be interested to know if there is anywhere that services this type of tool? All the screws are stripped or seized making it harder to clean, the fan that cools the motor has been removed cause it it...
there is a huge amount of knowledge and experience on this forum so hopefully we can figure out what went wrong and what can be done moving forward. Take plenty pictures when you are digging up the floor!
The feedback so far suggests the boards are floating on the concrete so it might not be too...
Thanks. I can find out the output but yes the wires look well spaced.
I thought the work, on the whole, looked to have been well done but the results are a complete failure! Id be interested to know what advice would be given for reinstating the floor given the height restriction and the obvious...
Ive just started another thread on this without realising Rick had beaten me to it! My initial thoughts on seeing the floor was that there are two things happening here to compound the problem. Thermal shock would cause the tiles to debond so cleanly an over the entire floor but more concerning...
I have an idea what’s gone wrong here but would be interested to hear other opinions.
Old property which had a floating wooden floor removed and replaced with 60mm foam backer boards (wedi or similar) over the concrete slab. Electric ufh latexed over then tiled. The concrete was “blackjacked”...

I was about to ask the same question. Ive got a patio to do soon. Will they score and snap on a Sigma? I was going to try giving them a heavy score then bashing them with a mallet...
Just a thought. You could try a "soldier course" i.e. flipping the bottom row of tiles on their end ( portrait rather than landscape?) Gets over the cill height problem and you can carry on as normal on next course. The grout lines should still match up

Over at my Mums house tiling her bathroom and have been caught short on adhesive.
Any good stockists in Cardiff or do I need to dig my topps trade card out?
Bearing in mind it's Sunday tommorow!
cheers.
Obviously didn't make my point clear.
The bond between ditra and screed was perfect.
I only mentioned the stone as that was why I had to lift ditra.
I am not familiar with Epoxy primers or gypsum based adhesives so my only question, given the result I had with cement based products, is why...
Just to add a real life situation to this thread... I was about to tile a 70m2 (UFH)Anhydite screed with the following prep: labourer sanded and applied 1/1 Mapie Primer G, allowed to dry overnight then neat primer G. Ditra was then fixed with Mapie Keraquick mixed with Latex plus. The stone...
