the screws just pilot in easier but i use them anyway so if anything does go wrong i have used the correct gear.

i use the 9mm but the 6mm is fine. dont use ply anymore cause this stuff is that good.

get a couple of other quotes first. should only take 1-2 days max for a job like that.

i would use 10 or 12mm notched trowel on that size tile

the enhancer is an additive for grouts and adhesives. you need to use nicobond primer or universal bonding agent and sealer.

you can use it on plasterboard and plaster just prime the walls first with nicobond primer. the rep told me the unique would be ok in a domestic shower but not power showers

the no more ply is miles better than ply just dont get the glue on your hands. use the same trowel on all walls. i personally would use 8mm notched trowel. apply adhesive to walls instead of backs of tiles. the benfer tanking gear is quality as well

i use 2mm on nearly all wall tiles. looks better in my opinion as you dont see too much grout

try aquamix grout colourant from trades direct. epoxy based and brilliant permanent results.

yes you need to seal the tiles before and after grouting

the mapei gear is spot on to use and great quality. the grouts are even better but a bit awkward to use at first

do not use bucket gear on that size tile. topps are right powdered all the way.

ultra slc will go up to 50mm in one go. check out the instarmac website for full spec. i would get the floor as level as possible before laying any covering.

9 out of 10 jobs i do are in brick pattern. everyone is having it like that but i think in a couple of years it will look dated. i personally like them laid landscape with opus pattern on the floor. thats 4 different sizes of tiles in a set pattern

would be done in 2 days max. shouldnt take too long to get emulsion off and old tiles and patch up. then tile away
