LinearPancakes Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 We've found some porcelain tiles that we really like. They're 100x100cm but only 6mm thick for the inside. All of the other porcelain tiles we've seen have been 9-10mm thick. Is this thick enough? Feels like it might increase the chance of cracking if something dropped on it.

Nickfromwales Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 If they are buttered before being laid onto 100% solid notched bed ( of adhesive ) then they will be as solid as lots of small 6mm thick tiles. 6mm is a thin tile, so think twice before going for that tbh. 6mm tiles on a solid bed of adhesive will be safe to lay, but if there are any voids under them, where the adhesive is not continuous, those areas will be where any cracks ( point impact damage ) will occur.

LinearPancakes Posted July 6, 2022 Author Share Posted July 6, 2022 Many thanks Nick, that's what I thought. We'll try to seek out a style we like that's 9mm or more for peace of mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
