Tiling onto bathroom floor using Gulfstone with Quartz - Tile Advice

[tkblueyonder]

Hello

am planning on laying 5m of 30x30cm Gulfstone Quartz tiles on our bathroom floor ( the blingy sparkly ones). upon reading the box it says the tiles should only be layed using a latex based adhesive? i am tiling directly onto a bitumen type over concrete floor? could anyone just clarify for me the correct adhesive to use?

Thanks in advance

Yes you need a polyurethane adhesive .. as water mixed adhesives will warp them..

Mapei do 2 suitable ones..

Granirapid or Elastorapid.

Both are a 2 component S2 adhesive for conglomerate stone and resin based tiles.
