grout and adhesive for conservatory

[rossy]

Hi, just a quick one got to quote my first conservatory at weekend, customer has had concreate floor down six weeks now so there ready to have tiling done just un sure on what grout to use specially round edges of tiles onto upvc because you do get a bit of movement when doors are being slammed dont want grout cracking or breaking up, or would you Silicon round edges, many thanks rossy...

Hi rossy mate.... Use flexible adhesive and grout on the floor..

1 : because it will be a warma floor ( screed on top of kings span insulation. )

2 : you can get quiet a bit of expansion in a conservatory with it being exposed to the heat of the sun etc..

And as grumpy say's Silicon expansion joints up against the PVC doors.etc.......dave..

I totally agre with DH,I hardly ever used standard adhesive and grout,always fealt safer option was flexibles.....connies can be very cold in Winter and very hot in Summer
