hi guys

I have been asked to tile a kitchen floor with ceramic tiles,on top of the old ceramic tiles,he does'nt want to lift the old ones,& i know you can do it,as long the old ones are stuck down properly.What im wanting to know is what would be the best adhesives & sealants if any?Looking for some quick pointers as well.



Cheers Graham

If tiles are unglazed ceramic then use flexible adhesive. If glazed ceramic then adhesive + flexible admix.
