hmm.. sounds troublesome and time consuming.. usually how much is the cost to install tiles, per square feet?

QUOTE(kelvyn @ Dec 9 2011, 04:01 PM) To create a level (with water flowing gradient) you mix the cement with sand. what kind of susu should I ask at the hardware store then?For the bonding of the screed surface with the tile, you mix the cement with water with "susu" |

QUOTE(kelvyn @ Dec 9 2011, 04:06 PM) just tell them that you want the adhesive for bonding of the tiles. They will know what you want. what do u mean by roughen?BTW, you need to roughen the cemented floor for good bonding. Else you will be picking up loose pieces.... |
