Do I PVA concrete floor
Anonymous user 03/03/2024 - 3.14 PM
Hi I'm tiling my living room floor and need advice. Do I need to PVA it before I start? We have concrete floor and are using porcelain tiles. I have so many different answers I am confused. This is my working order will be on solid concrete. Concrete floor, PVA, adhesive, 6 mm insulation boards, under flooring heating cable mat, adhesive and finally tiles. Someone in the tile shop said I need to PVA over the boards but I have never seen that before. Could you please advise if this is right? I have everything ready in place and am ready to start. Also when do I call the electrician? Before or after I laid the tiles to connect the under floor heating. I know how to test the mat before laying. Many thanks in advance.
