TilersForums has a member from Sweden who spent a long time putting together some basic guides with regards to many aspects of wall and floor tiling. The tiling guides started in May 2008 and added to in 2009. The forum ‘thread’ (topic) is still open although hasn’t been replied to for some time. The guides are just that, guides, anybody using them should also seek (up to date) information and facts from their professional wall and floor tiler.
If you read the guides you will see that a lot of thought has gone into putting them together. Topics include:-
- A quick guide to regular grouting using a washboy and a float
- A guide to diagnosing grout failure
- A guide to using silicone sealant
- A guide to using self-levelling compounds
- A guide to help professional wall and floor tilers with their pricing
- A guide to using epoxy and waterproofing
- Choosing adhesives and grout with standards as a general guide
- Cement, Gypsum, Anhydrite, Ettringite Crystals, and PVA; A Discourse - which had further important information from another trusted forum member.
