Tools For Laying Slabs
We recommend using specialist tools for handling, moving, cutting and laying slabs. Download the Slabs installation and handling guide for more information and contact your store for sourcing specialist slab tools.
Adhesives & Levelling For Laying Slabs
Adhesives are an important part of the job. We recommend the Ardex and CTA adhesives specially developed for laying slabs. You may also need to apply a levelling compound to ensure that your floor is true and level before tiling.
When applying adhesives, use a minimum 4mm notched trowel of adhesive "buttering" on the back of the slab tile and an 8mm notched trowel on the substrate for wall and floor tiling.
Ensure that the direction the adhesive is spread on the wall or floor is the same direction as on the back of the slabs.
Tap on each slab right after they have been glued and laid, ensuring every area of the slab is tapped out.
