Thickness of adhesive

Hi,
the normal approx thickness of adhesive is 3mm, even using a 10mm float at a 45degree angle you hold the float it will be approx 3mm, the thicker the adhesive the longer it will take to dry...you will possibly need to butter the back of the limestone tiles too as they are porous so you will need more adhesive than you thick.
Regarding tiling the area I would always tile around your floor units, remove the kickboards and tile upto the legs of the units, cut down kickboards and then refit. Pointless tiling under the units not only dont you see them but it cost you money and time laying tiles you dont see
hope that helps

The thickness of the adhesive bed should be 12mm using a flexi adhesive to allow it to bond to the limestone properly to avoid failure. I would also recommend using a white adhesive if you're using a light coloured tile.

You can tile around kitchen units without removing them, the tiles can be placed under the kickboards and then the kickboards trimmed down to allow for the extra height.

Also make sure that you use a sealer on the tiles prior to grouting as the grout is likely to stain the tiles if you don't.

I would use a 10mm trowel and yes you can cut around the kitchen units.some people like wall to wall tiling but it’s your preference

yes it can be removed without removing the kitchen and the adhesive underneath should be somewhere maximum up to 5-7mm

Approx 3 to 5 mm depending on levels working to and as for removing units as long as cuts to units are neat and precise shouldn't be a problem.

5 to 6mm.
For sure you can tile around all your kitchen cabinets whilst there still up.
(this the way that kitchens are tiled anyway. The units go up, then it's tiled)

Good mornig
the thickness of adhesives on the floor should not exceed 4-6mm, depending on whether you have straight floors. And if we are talking about tiles at worktop , you do not need to remove the cabinets, you can put them in around the cabinets

For limestone tiles one would need a larger notched trowel (20mm or larger), plus the 10mm tiles, and you could expect a rise in floor level by even as much as 20mm in total. If you chose to not remove the kitchen units, I expect that would be fine, but you will need to refit the skirting board to be in line with the new floor height anyway.

A usual guide would be no more than 5mm thick. But there are adhesives that absolutely smash this rule, Pro Rapid for example can be used up to 12mm thick.

If you use a 10mm notched trowel then putting a 10mm tile on top then push down it will using compress to about 13mm/14mm on a flat floor.
Yes you can cut tiles around kitchen units

minimum adhesive layer 3-5 mm kitchen does not have to be dismantled tiles can be laid when the kitchen is already installed

Take up karndean and check surface is flat, clean and dry. Give a coat of bonding agent to subfloor before laying tiles with a white adhesive using a 10mm trowel and a think back spread on back of tile. Limestone tiles must also be sealed so look online for a good quality sealer and follow instructions.

Min 8ml plus the tile! Also depends on what floor your tiling on ie being concrete or wooden so you’d need to think about backer thermo boards or Ditra mat for concrete for moisture purposes
