Hello is there anyone out there that can me?!
I am fitting a new kitchen in my house. I removed the old floor tiles and underneath was a plastic damp proof membrane. I removed this and there is bare concrete. My house is victorian and i cant tell if there is a main damp course or not further under the floor, i suspect not.
I want to lay slate tiles. Can i tile directly onto the concrete with say a waterpoof adhesive, or do i need to put down another damp proof membrane? if i must put down some membrane, can i tile directly on this? im concerned nothing will stick to it and i will get movement. or alternatively should i be using a liquid damp proof and then tiling on to this?
ive been looking on the net for ages, and even been to four local tiling stores but i havent managed to find an answer, hopefully someone out there can help me!
