Hello, laying down 44mm x 66mm porcelain floor tiles on perfectly level floor. which adhesive shall I use? Mapei Keraquick or Keraflex?
Datasheet for keraflex says surfaces ready for use in 14 days, do you have to wait that long, its a bathroom floor.
Any guidance appreciated. Thanks

You are very luck mate, you must have the only perfectly level floor on the planet. I have been searching for one of these for 43yrs, to no avail.:lol: as Dave above we need to know the substrate:thumbsup:

It depends on how quick you tile..?

What substrate do you have..?

Its joists, 18mm gyproc flooring boards, 12mm ply on top of that, 10mm marmox insulation boards, ufh & levelling compound. All timber screwed down at 300mm centres.

Sorry Phil, you're right, what I mean't was near enough smooth & flat surface, due to the levelling compound....:smilewinkgrin:, perfectly level it ain't....there are deviations on the floor when putting a straight edge to it...
I'm a newbie to tiling, so I'm pretty slow. apart from the setting time, is there any advantage of using Keraflex over Keraquick?
Thanks

Keraflex has a pot life of 8 hours, and an open time of 30 mins. Keraquick is a rapid set, giving you less time to adjust tiles. I would go for Keraflex:thumbsup:
