Probably a very daft question but I went to quote on a bathroom floor and the customer is insisting that the tiles gop under the toilet with the toilet sitting on top of them.
My question is - is that right.
Im a bit reluctant to sit a solid toilet on top of solid tiles as movement is inevitable when sitting on the toilet. I have fitted toilets before and always screwed them into the wood floor with a cushion of silicone underneath the pan for movement and tiles up to and round the pan.
What do other tilers do?
Can the tiolet sit on top of the tiles (with said cushion of silicone) or is this really not the best way to do it. I can see the toilet or the tiles cracking one day. My thoughts are Porcelain and tiles together do not go, one will have to give at some stage.
Any views greatly appreciated
