Hey guys,
I am just planning my new bathroom, and the tiles we've been looking at for a while came up half price, so picked them up a couple of weeks ago.
They are 300 x 600 porcelain.

The packaging has no recommendation for adhesives, but I have spoken to wickes who said this is the recommended product
http://www.wickes.co.uk/Mapei-Mapeker-Rapid-Set-Tile-Adhesive-Grey-20kg/p/102976
I've been doing a lot of research recently regarding this project and 2 top names for addy are BAL and Mapei, so i think we are on the right track.
Only thing is, how rapid is rapid set? It says 3 hours, but whats a realistic pot life?
I've got no problem mixing in small batches, as i know i will be working slow in the evenings after work.
Other thing is, this addy states maximum coverage of 2.5m2 - for a 20kg bag that doesn't sound right to me, surely??
Cheers
