which adhesive to use on t and g floor? - Tile Advice

[kawasakiinit]

hi guys im confused after searching ages looking at adhesives and grouts for my project, im tiling on a tongue and groove floor lined with 6mm ply and primed .

does this stuff fit the bill for porcelain floor tiles on wood and do i also need a flexible grout to finish ?

thanks

Tbh , 6 mm ply isn’t a suitable floor prep, you will wiser to use a backer board like Hardibacker

Oh ok cheers. Would that adhesive be ok on that ?

The adhesive will be fine but you may be better off with a slower setting bagged adhesive.

Ditto on the 6mm ply, use a backer board instead

Thanks guys,

So as long as the adhesive has flex in it description it will be ok?

Ok I have ordered 6mm backer board and the stainless fixing washers and screws ,do I also need to use adhesive on the boards to fix them and should the joints be taped ? If so which tape and adhesive should I use please ??.

Thanks again.
