Hi.

What adhesive should i use to mount your split face slate onto the wall?

Thanks

We are looking to create an external feature wall between 3 fencing posts.

The area to cover is 1.83(H) x 1.83(W) x 2 sections.

My question is what is the best external substrate to bond your Oyster Mini Slate Tiles onto?

What adhesive do you recommend for your Brazilian slate floor tiles please?

Can you give me some idea of the meterage that a 20kg bag of adhesive will cover on riven tiles?

What can you recommend to stick slate mosaic split face tiles to my plaster wall...splashback?

I recently received a sample of your antique brushed Brazilian black slate and had some questions before I placed an order.

What products did you use to treat the slate as I would like to achieve the same finish on the floor.

Also which bonding agent, adhesive and grout would you recommend, the tiles will be laid onto a marine ply floor with under floor heating in a kitchen.

How long does it take fast curing adhesive to go off in cold weather , it says 3 hours at 20 c for light foot traffic and 24 for heavy traffic a few of our slates have popped off although we left it for 6 hours before light traffic , the adhesive still looks like it hasn't cured properly after nearly 60 hours, does cold weather retard it for that long and if so how long should we leave it before light traffic and heavy traffic ? The adhesive is sticking to the floor but not the slates although there is good contact ,we have been wiping the grinding residue off the back of the slates with a damp sponge is it advisable to let the slates dry fully before fixing we have been buttering the backs of the slates as well as the floor. Thank you for any advice

I intend to get some split face tiles. and have noticed you use Mapei Adhesive - Mapeker Rapid Set Flex 20kg Grey.. what is typical coverage on breeze block and what is typical coverage on plastered painted wall as I need to both inside and out. Then I can order the correct amount of adhesive
