Well, if you're looking for a quick easy fix then laying vinyl ontop of laminate, it certainly will be. It sounds like you have already made your mind up. The right way to do it would be to remove laminate, lay 6mm ply then your vinyl, which is the way I install Karndean or amtico, in which case...

A tile adhesive that is suitable for low porosity tiles will be ideal here. I don't understand what they mean by latex based? Perhaps they are suggesting an elastomeric...... Which is overkill if you ask me. The important thing to do is go to a decent supplier with a tile in your hand and they...

Richard, 5 years!? You'll look back in 10 years time and realise just how much you didn't know back then, seriously.....and that's not a dig believe it or not. ........and 7.30am, my beds been cold for an hour by then. I guess it's an age thing. :wink:

Rapidsetting cement based is ideal for matting, both for Homelux and kerdi matting although Kerdi Coll adhesive should be used where sheets overlap. The matting by both these manufacturers will always peel off fairly easily but this is normal, if you peel the paper face off plasterboard it'll...

Yes, the marmox alone does not need tanking, are your tiles mosaic? The marmox will only accept a minimum 2" (50mm) tile, due to point loading. I have a marmox wet room in my own house, as with all of these wet room formers, very time consuming to install, describe how you installled it so we...

What make is this shower board? where did you get it from? most of the wet room formers require tanking before tiling. Unibond ready mixed tile adhesive is far from an ideal product.

The best way to remove saw marks is to use a good radial arm saw, my rubi 200 seems to do the job nicely but a flex polisher should be used to get a perfect edge

Spamming tw@t :D

Schmill....... Poliched Trav???! I meant Polished Travertine. What colour are your wall tiles?

Schmill, as you said, get the window in first then see what you are left with, in an ideal world the window frame should be equal on all sides. I would be looking at dot and dabbing a new piece of p/board straight onto the blocks then covering it with whatever you decide, whether it be a tile or...

yes, I understand and your method would work fine also but would look exactly how it is made, like someone has plonked a tile onto the window sill, acceptible but a compromise

The op wants a sill instead of tiles. It would look better if it was at least 20mm thick and also have an overhang, it has nothing to do with what you are contructing the substrate out of or adhesive bed. I had 2 x 800mm x 150mm and a window sill made up recently from poliched trav 20mm...

The OP wants a piece of marble or something to put across his window sill that is one complete piece. I am suggesting that a tile would look crap so he should see a stone mason and get a thicker piece and I am also suggesting that he could go up to 30mm thick as I don't think it would look out...

I think 20mm is about right, purely for visual reasons, but you could go up to 30mm which is approx what bathroom worktops are.

Even if you have to use more than one tile, simply fill the joint with an over the counter Epoxy and sand down with wet and dry paper. I Recommend mapei kerapoxy. I personally feel that a tile is a little thin on a window sill. A stone mason is your best bet and will be reasonable provided he...

Stone mason.

You might be surprised just how much weight a tiled wall will take, stud or no stud. Use a good quality nylon plug with lugs and only you will be able to tell if it's secure enough. If it isn't then I would use some fast brolly cavity fixings. Use a diamond coated hole saw with a water spray to...

not even a pioneer Kuro?! ;)

It wouldn't be hard to cover up your details but no worries, I understand. .......or if anyone else has some of these prices to post, I'm genuinly interested to see them.

Scan 'em up and get them posted, As mentioned before, I doubt the products were bought alone so kind of makes the argument void. It's like saying you got a fantastic deal on a bluray player but forgetting to mention that you bought a 60" plasma with surround sound and a high end TV stand.
