Floor tile onto a steel
Apr 10

, 2017, 11:39pm
Hi
We have a former that has been tiled. The former meets a steel beam. We just want to tile over the steel beam and then install vinyl flooring for the rest of the room. Is it possible to tile floor tiles onto a steel? If so how should this be done and what sort of adhesive should be used?
Thanks
Also - from a different thread - Should we apply silicone to the former?

I think you would be asking for trouble tiling on the steel, there are mesh underlays to help prevent cracking but it may not be enough; you would be better off with a specialist to advise. There are a few specific tiling forums it may be worth asking on one of them

Best asking the manufacturer such as Schluter -

I have seen this used were tiling on a mix of floor substrates.
Ask their technical team.
