Keraflex Maxi - Tile Advice

[jamesknox]

Tile Giant have sold me Keraflex maxi for my porcelain to wood floor project.
Have just looked at the data sheet and Mapei suggest that is is NOT suitable for a wooden floor. I have a 22mm marine play base, very well fixed.

Any advice for me out there?

 

[david campbell]

i would disagree since it's an s1 flexible adhesive,i may be wrong but

 

[jamesknox]

So you think it would be ok? Should I prime?

You can use keraflex maxi on marine ply.

 

[david campbell]

only prime the underneath and sides of the ply,not the surface you are tiling onto

imo, i would go for a rapid set flexi adhesive, its just what i prefer

It does take a long time to go off!

Of course it is suitable for tiling to timber.. A rapid set would be better regarding the moisture in the adhesive but keraflex maxi is suitable for timber.

Check out the black book centre pages for info>>> MAPEI - PDF Flip Pages

I use 2 part when tiling onto ply but only as a bit of over kill. You should be fine with the keraflex, as said above, the only problems would be the setting time.

It's fine as above. It has a long pot life so might be good if your new to tiling or want to take a bit extra time.

Here is a data sheet

Not exactly new to tiling but not exactly fast (hence prefer a long set time) They are Villeroy Fire and Ice, hard as hell so everything wet cut and VERY slow.

Thanks all for your advice

you could dry lay a certain amount and do your cuts , then do a mix with rapid set,but if ya happier with a slow set, go for it
