OTF@ I have already said in one of ur podcast that u should recommend one particular brand and type in that brand, which can be used. Otherwise it is confusing for layman

Thanks a lot Dinesh ji. Kindly confirm tile adhesives to be used as per BIS specifications. Also....myself very much eager to purchase your book on tile. Myself required total 3 books. Right now it's not available on Amazon. Kindly give idea how I can purchase this book.
Simpola Tiles are. the best quality. They r using Next Generation SACMI CONTINUA + TECHNOLOGY in Manufacturing of Tiles .NO other Tile company in India yet not using this Technology in manufacturing of Tiles.Its a open challenge.
For large porcelain body tiles on wall... You have to confirm with the brand as formulations vary. They give their own recommendation accordingly. Thank you. - Team OTF

Sir Chhat par tiles laga hai gape se paani aata kya treatment karwaye.epoxy grout bharwaye the 2 yrs phle ab chatak gya hai kai jagah se wo bhi. Plz suggest
I wish to make it Tiles covered. I beg your total advice. 1. Cement morter Or Adhesive? 2. If adhesive, then which brand/specifications? 3. Specification of tiles for a) Toilet, b) Kitchen, c) Common tarace cum Dinning, d) Bedrooms. I like white or off white marvel texture. Thank you. Wish your long and prosperous life.
Hello Sir, thank you for the video and your hard work. I have question, please guide if possible. I live in Pune, I want to redo my bathroom, now I am confused. Should I change everything and make it fresh or just do epoxy paint on tiles? Is epoxy paint durable on tiles and floor? My bathroom floor is anti skid so after I do epoxy , will it still remain anti skid ? Please guide. 🙏
Also try full body (unglazed one) in matte. It becomes challenging for most manufacturers to produce flat surface of (un glazed) DC/ Full-body because it requires much higher precision and efforts than polished tiles...when they polish it, little part from the top is shaved and they achieve desired flatness. You may still get some salt-n-pepper type DC/ FB tiles in matte. If not, then you may have to consider good quality matte finished, GVT from the market.
@@onthefloorwithdv ok sir muze aapne ghar ki tiles lene ko thodi problem ho rahi hai kya aapka whatsapp no hai ya fir koi group hai jisse muze help ho sakti hai ... i hope muze aap help karenge
It is unfair that companies are not giving full information. There is NO such star categorization. This might be their own terminology. As now you know basic things, Pl ask the company to furnish details are give confidence that the chosen adhesive is the right one for your tiles and specifications. - Team OTF
ब्रांडेड की जहां तक बात है, निश्चित रूप से बेहतर होती होगी । लेकिन जितनी बड़ी कम्पनी होती है, सुनवाई कम होती है । उदाहरण के तौर पर मैंने लॉयड का एसी खरीदा । दुनिया मे इससे घटिया कोई एसी नही होगा । क्या हैवल्स का लेबल लगने से घटिया चीज बढ़िया हो सकती है ? हमारे यहां सैकड़ो मिठाई की दुकान है । नामी के मुकाबले उनके यहां भले ही भीड़ कम पड़ती हो, लेकिन उनका जायका और क्वालिटी तथाकथित नामी कम्पनियो से कई गुना बेहतर है । जानकारी के लिए बतादूँ कि कजरिया अलवर में थानागाजी के पास बनती है । कजरिया ने यह जमीन मकान बनाने के लिए खरीदी थी । प्रोजेक्ट फेल होगया तो यहां टाइल्स बनने लगी । जबकि यहां की मिट्टी और वातावरण टाइल्स के लिए -45 फीसदी उप्युउक्त है । यहां की टाइल्स को सबसे निकृष्ट और घटिया माना जाता है । फिर भी धड़ल्ले से बिक रही है । अमिताभ या विराट कोहली...... का फोटो लगने से कोई घटिया चीज बेहतर नही बन सकती है । महेश झालानी 9636197744
It depends on multiple other factors also like- -Tile / Stine ka size - thickness - condition of substrate. - correct method There are installations which have used granite slabs up to 30-50 feet height also. Adhiktar Tile Adesive companies apne bags mei Type ka technical description nahi likhti, na hee ingredients bataatati hain. Isliye jiske bhi achchi co ka material len, unki technical team se confirm karlen . Thank you. - Team OTF
Sir, i liked the way you have made things and doubt clear.it will help me alot ,as I am building my house. Thanks a lot sir. If possible please share Excel sheet.😊
There are more than 750 factories in Gujarat and some of them pack material in more than one name also. It is difficult to predict quality by name when it comes to tiles. You may Pl tune in our earlier podcast "don't choose wrong tiles" in which DV has provided some important information that might help you. Thank you. - Team OTF
Exactly utna hee jitna us company ne instruction me diya ho. Different adhesives mei ye alag-alag rahti hai. Har good brand Poora instruction deti hai, useeko refer keejiye. -Team OTF
