Tile on Tile adhesives

Postby bbobandannie » Wed Jun 19, 2019 1:25 pm

Putting personal opinions as to the merits of doing so aside, can anyone recommend a good adhesive for tiling over an existing tiled floor. The current floor is shiny red and I a planning on replacing it with wood effect ,plank style tiles. Approx 1m long. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

We followed advice from our builders merchants and used swimming pool tile adhesive. Porcelanico Capacer by the Capa company. About six euros a 25kg sack. We cleaned the tiles surface beforehand and also brushed with PVA solution beforehand. Bit of belts and braces. All the reputable firms like Weber do a similar product.

Mapei Adesilex P9 Wall/Floor Tile Adhesive. In my personal experience, this is the best option for tile adhesive when you are tiling over existing tiles.
