Laying travertine over ceramic floor tiles? - TilersForums.com

[peegee tips]

Hi Ken, What difference would applying latex make instead of a layer of tile adhesive?

Would it not be the same to lay ditra, & then tile over that, afterall ditra is a waterproof membrane ?

I take it that can be layed with the usual rapid RSF over the quarries ?

Latex screed is quicker and easier to use than adhesive therefore costing less in labour in the long run, but, as Dave said, you can just Ditra straight over, just make sure that any wax or oily product is stripped out of the quarries beforehand, in case the adhesive doesn't bond to the surface, in all cases the quarries will need to be primed initially and solidly fixed to the substrate.
