hi everyone,
adivse needed please,please,
i have tiloed my bathroom floor in 300x300 travertine effect floor tiles,the floor was layed with 22mm 8x2 t&g flooring boards which are wpb. but there is one row of tiles which have cracked the grout and hav a slight bounce in them, i mean i have to move my weight to see them move,
now the question?? can i buy bal superflex grout and just regrout them without relaying them as i ahve allready tiled the wall down to them. i dont think the nicobond grout i have used was flexible as the bit i have removed was very powdery.
so any advice would be great
thanks dexbond

You can try it, I wouldn't hold your breath though, it may need ripping up and prepping properly.

I believe that Bal suggest Fastflex with such a thin ply.

You may have had more success just using Green grade chipboard and 12mm ply overlay

its not looking good. I would say it needs ripped up and done correctly.

An entire row of tiles lifting is not a good sign

The only adhesive that Bal sell that is up to the job is Bal Fastflex but doing it this way is frowned upon by the professionals.
