Hi all
Some advice needed please. I'm doing a renovation and now it needs tile. I've tried to get a tiler but cant get one in the time frame i need, as time is running out and i need to move in by the end of April, i'm going to have to do the job myself. The floor is 60mm anhydrite screed with water ufh , it was laid at the beginning of October last year, the heating has been on since jan and sanded with an str sander with a copper plate. In the wetroom i have a tray former with a linear drain, all the tiles for the floor are rectified porcelain 600x600. Do i need anti fracture mat and if so what https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/ should i use, will the floor need priming and what primer, what size trowels to use? Also need to get a cutter, thinking about the monolit 93 ,do i need a wet saw as well ? The wall tiles are 1200x200 on one wall porcelain, the other 3 walls are 300 x660. What's the best https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/? 3 walls are abacus elements board and one plaster. The total meterage is about 40 m2 any help appreciated
Thanks Mick

Weber sbr primer, follow instructions for anhydrate screed, but also lay anti fracture mat ontop, tape joints, lay tiles, flexible https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/ throughout whether recommended or not! slowset flexible if your a beginner, take your time and your laughing!
Cheap vitrex 1200 cutter will cut any tile known to man, not for long and is clumpy to use but for one job and around £100 is what you need. 👍🏻
Or there's the other geezer who's a pint too far, but also a specialist?
He might do it for you 👍🏻

Ps, don't forget to turn the ufh off first!
And leave it off
For a while, then graduate it back up👍🏻
Thanks for the reply what matting would you use ,I'm try to keep the build up minimal and should I use a gypsum based https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/ for the mat and a cement based for the tiles i was thinking either mapitex or idrobuild and anhi fix for the mat ? cheers

Hi. I use ultra https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/,and they state you shouldn’t use calcium based https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/ to stick matting. Prime twice use an s2 https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/ for floor.(no matting req) For better results you can have the ufh switched on,but keep it at its lowest temperature,sub 15 degrees also your not supposed to use a fully flexible https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/ on matting! Prime walls. Ultra standard set white

Like I said, use ultra slow, if you're a beginner, this clown seems to think ultra standard is better, but it's not, not for a beginner!
Also, do you want your floor tiles to only stick to an anhydrate screed, or to not leech the ***** through the grout joints? Which after a couple of months they will! 😂, then you'll have white grout lines, loose tiles and headaches! ****** Coventry mongs man! 😂 Wow

Underfloor Heating (UFH): If UFH is being installed it must be fully commissioned before starting the tile process to ensure it is in full working order. This includes both electric mat and water pipe systems. Once the UFH has been commissioned it can be set to a low level to provide a max floor temperature of 15 ̊C whilst the tile and grouting processes are undertaken. It is critical that this temperature is not exceeded as this can force dry the https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/ and grout with the potential of causing cracks in the installation or tiles to de-bond. Maintain this temperature for a minimum period of 7 days while the installation cures and hardens. After this time the UFH can be brought up to the required room temperature slowly at a rate of 5 ̊C per day.
From the technical data sheet ultra tile fix. Standard set is slow set! Calcium based https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/ is for use without matting. Your still walking on cobbles you northern gimp!
