Average meterage per day?? - Tile Advice

[Mr Tiler]

every body has different ways of fixing tiles,as long as the job is done right and the tiles stay put,the customer is happy then i am happy and onto the next one

couldn't agree more mate. although I am not working as a tiler I have done a few jobs now and nobody is yet to get back to me with any issues (touch wood). everyone has been happy so as long as I keep trying my best that is all I can and will keep doing.

Depends how flat the floor is,
I've seen me using anything from a 6mm up to a 20mm round notch.
Always back butter floor tiles as it will give you far better coverage.

What was the reasons why you used all differeny sizes rather than to stick to one Size

^^depends how flat the floor is as to what size trowel to use!...using a 6mm on a not so flat floor would = NIGHTMARE...

It depends on how flat the floor is & how thick the tile is.
As Martino says it would be a mare going over a floor with a 6mm if the floors not flat.

What you mean a nightmare.

Do you know how a notched trowel works?

I don't know what you mean by this. If you mean how to use one. Of course I do. It's just I've always used s 6mm for floors and walls on every job I've done. I've just bought a new 10mm squared notch for any future jobs. I just wanted to how better it would be working with it.

You asked why it would be a nightmare to tile an uneven floor with a 6mm trowel, the benefits of using a larger notch, let's say a 10/12mm, will enable the adhesive to level out any minor dips/humps due to the adhesive bed being deeper.

Depending on the thickness of the tiles.....

Lol only thing a 6mm is good for is kitchen splashbacks and scraping out buckets.
