Ive been asked to tile a large floor with a drainage gully at one end. The screed is realitivly flat. Am i right in thinking that the screed should form the fall and i just tile to that? Rather than trying to build up with adhesive.

Also another floor upstairs is plywood with a gully in the middle and this has to be tiled so water runs into the gully . How can this be done?

Any help much appreciated

Thanks

Is this in a commercial environment? I can't remember of the top of my head the correct fall ratio but to drain the water quick enough you could be looking at a drop of up to 100mm over a 5 metre run

They are toilets/changing rooms.

To achieve That sort of gradient i assume the screed would have to be sloping down towards the gully?

What about the ply wood floor? Some sort of pre-formed tray perhaps?
