Which adhesive? Replacing a floor tile on 50/50 concrete and wooden floor underneath...

Anonymous user 09/03/2024 - 2.43 PM

I've removes a cracked 300mm x 300mm tile in my kitchen and underneath it is both wooden floor and concrete... I'm now confused as to which adhesive I need to use. The tiles are porceline and there is under-floor heating wires just coming out from under the tiles on the concrete side... Can I just use a flexible adhesive? I have some quick-set left over from a different job - should I buy the flexible additive or bite the bullet and buy it ready-made?

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

Use your flexible cement based adhesive but must have an expansion joint over and through tile at concrete and wood joint. This was missing and the reason for the crack.
