Hi all,

Just a quick question. Do I need to prime the surface of the ply I will be using to overboard my floor, before I stick the wedi board on?

I will be using Kerakoll No Limits, they advise I need to prime the ply?

Prime ply top/ bottom and edges

They're nice tiles to cut and install but my personal opinion is that there are only 2 or 3 tilers in Preston capable (and equipped) to install them.
I am one. The other 2 you would get hold of via Roccia!
I don't know of anyone ESP are using. I was recommeded to them by Grespania but we've both been too busy to meet so far.
Anyone else... Risky.

They shouldn't have been dropped on the uneven ground either.
Don't leave them like that for too long, as the pallet starts to sag, the tiles will stress.

That’s exactly what my local showroom said to me, they put some in their showroom but found no installer wanted to touch it. Those who did couldn’t install it properly.

It’s a separate trade to an extent. Very niche.

For me personally I haven’t and wouldn’t install anything near that size. Not equipped physically or have the talent to do it.

Think the op is installing tiles himself?

I’m wondering if we will see a frame made up of chinese suction cups, CLS and Gaffer tape.

......seriously though, I’d imagine the correct installation equipment is absolutely essential.
