    Sealing before grouting??

    Thanks for that, No, they are a manufactured pressed tile from what I can see, its just they are so rough, like really rough sandpaper & I don't want to ruin the faces with grout.

    Sealing before grouting??

    what adhesive to use when tiling on Marmox tile backers

    I have just been researching this very subject, & the advice I have been given is: Marmox reccomend a fast set cement based adhesive to lay the boards on. Unless your a pro tiler, use a standard set adhesive for the tile. Use only cement based adhesive in a wet room etc.

    247 Car spares SCAM

    0703 471 3853 is a mobile number, no reason to suspect its a scam number, when you get a reply from one of their approved suppliers, you expect it to be genuine.

    Yes, semi det, but I had a new 25mm mdpe incoming feed fitted, (was old lead) from my own stop tap, to a new water main stop tap on the pavement. I will change the 15mm to 25mm MDPE, then to 22mm copper, I was concerned about the pressure, is 1 bar too low?

    Water pressure is jjust 1 bar when running, 2.5 not running. 20 liters per min through a 15mm pipe.
