FEGEITOK: Why can't tile gum be used exclusively as it is done in the West?
Why do our tilers insist on cement only?
Or a mix of tile gum and cement?
Because of economising lol..... Perfect way to lay tiles is just applying an inch or half an inch of mortal behind the tiles..... Floors are to be screed and left to dry before laying the tiles with gums and comb trowell.... But you see engineers love cheap and affordable stuffs hence those naija procedures
ChybuzzDD: Do you recommend that walls be plastered before tiling them?
Yes to reduce the materials needed for the tiling process...... And not okay laying tiles on bare blocks because of water... Most especially toilets.....
RandomForest: Exactly what I thought. The walls are not well plastered and I suggested using OPC cement mix alone and they insisted on mixing with Tile Gum for better bonding strength.
Check the tiles you are using if it's clay back then let them use OPC Gums are extra funds jare
gbadexy: Unfortunately majority of the engineers don't post here anymore. You may go back in page to earlier period and quote the engineers and builders. I like the fact that you are willing to work and also work your way up and not outrightly asking for works.
