Hi Guys, i wonder can you help me....i have just tiled my floor in the kitchen with 600x600 porcelain and despite using plenty of pva and top of the range bal blue star to lay them, they appear to be lifting in places, was it a mistake to leave down the laminate flooring before laying them.??....any help would be greatly appreciated as my wife paid quite a lot for these tiles and the guy in the tile shop who sold me all of the stuff has washed his hands of the whole affair.

?

a joke i presume

probably the trolls from UKTF

You'd have been better off using a hot glue gun, put a blob in each corner and as they are really big tiles better be safe and stick one in the middle too, press firmly down and blow on the tiles to help the glue go cold - this will make it stick. You only have to look at the tiles in your local tile shop - they are all stuck on this way and they don't fall off!! If this doesn't work try some iron on tape ( - you know the type - the one that your mummy uses to stick your name in your pants so you don't lose them!!), make sure the iron is really really hot but make sure you do this with a proper grown up! If these methods don't work you've got the good old favourite from way back in the 70's - 'sticky back plastic'!

The staff at topp tiles are very well trained so i dont think that they would have recommended a wall adhesive for a floor. I agree that it is a joke.

dont be so sure ie seen it happen customer could not understand why the tiles still moved round on the floor after three weeks

mind you it was green star

six inch nails in each corner would have been a better option !

Yes. I read the message again and it does not say topp tiles but the sell lots of bal so i assumed he had went there.
If its real maybe he could show some pictures.

I don't know why you all want to waste so much money. Mix some flour and water and let the kids do it

Hi

Natural stone tiles can be beautiful but as a natural product they are less uniform in color and pattern, and require more planning for use and installation. Mass produced stone tiles are uniform in width and length. Granite or marble tiles are sawn on both sides and then polished or finished on the facing up side, so that they have a uniform thickness. Other natural stone tiles such as slate are typically "riven" (split) on the facing up side so that the thickness of the tile varies slightly from one spot on the tile to another and from one tile to another. Variations in tile thickness can be handled by adjusting the amount of mortar under each part of the tile, by using wide grout lines that "ramp" between different thicknesses, or by using a cold chisel to knock off high spots.

Thanks
