This is a porch , where i stripped out all the sides and over the door and replaced and re-tilled
The problem was who ever fitted the old tiles - red ones - they sloped down towards the front door - and then under the floor in to the hall way - suspended floor - someone had added trim and silicon all over the place
We could not find any decent replacement tiles with a bullnose (well at least as far as the other half is concerned)
I used marine ply and redwood - when it was cheap
down during the first lockdown
before (red tiles) and after (black/white/grey tiles) images below
I had an issue with the tile adhesive , I spoke to the technical support people before i started and used Norcros and also the same SBR from Norcros
i was not happy with the way the adhesive mixed - we had to use a lot more then instructed , but went ahead anyway
Anyway a few months later one of the tiles was moving , and i had norcros out , as i was sure the adhesive was faulty ( we had that when a company tiled a bathroom, mapei ready mixed tile adhesive and set all the tiles , this was thursday before easter, when they returned on Tuesday, - the adhesive had not set and they had to just take up every tile and clean off )
The guy who visited from norcros of course had all sorts of reasons why it had not worked , anyway , he provided us with an S1 with fibre re-enforcement , we pulled up all the tiles and refitted
interesting the mixing was as expected and agreed with the instructions
