I'm after some advice and direction from those in the know, as to the best way of prepping a agilia screeded floor for laying 2" quarry tiles.
I actually spoke to agilia they recommend sanding the floor to remove waxy curing agent (which i have done), score the floor (sounds extreme) and paint 2 x coats of epoxy primer. Lay tiles with a flexible tile adhesive. Sounds perfectly reasonable. Can anyone recommend a suitable epoxy primer?
I was also advised by a, another that SBR bond painted to the screed would provide adequate adhesion and use a 3:1 sharp sand mix for tiles to bed on! Old school i guess!
I've read some threads that mortar isn't really used by professional tilers. Is this to do with it being outdated, labor intensive or generally a no no?
First instinct would be to go with manufacturers recommendation but i was wondering if anyone had a/ used either of the methods above, or b/ used an alternative practice with equally successful results?
Thanks in advance
