Hello @Samirkedis 

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about your stone cladding.

 

I suggest having a look at using Davco 20kg SMP Evo Tile Adhesive. It is a flexible, cement-based tile adhesive specifically designed for premium stone, marble and porcelain tiles. It is suitable for both interior or exterior use and has superior non-slump properties making it suitable for large format tile and stone applications.

 

My best advice is to make sure that your brick wall is clean and free of debris before you begin tiling.

 

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.

Thanks Eric.

 

I installed the first row but some of the adhesive got stuck on the stoned. What do you recommend to remove it?

Hello @Samirkedis 

 

I'm sorry to hear you got some adhesive on the tile. I'm afraid the only way to remove it is by mechanical means. I suggest waiting for the adhesive to cure and then use a Poly 38mm Paint Scraper to chip off the hard adhesive. I also recommend using a Trojan 6x16 Row Black Steel Wire Brush. But if it leaves a black mark stop using immediately.

 

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.

 Hi Ericl, thanks for your support. 

Which silicone do you recommend to fill the gaps? 

Thanks

Hello @Samirkedis 

 

I suggest looking at Mortafill Mortar to fill in the gaps. It looks like mortar, acts like a flexible adhesive filler and can be used with all types of building materials. I suggest using a Pro Renovator 38mm Plastic Scraper to remove any excess filler while you are applying it.

 

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.
