What's the solution to not tiling?

[@UniProGrp]

Any seamless membranes/decorative floor coatings which are suitable for foot traffic can do the all functions of a tile. But if you must tile, pls take ample precautions before tiling.

I have some issue, my tiles are filled with epoxy, from the next the water(moisture) was appearing in joints , every morning im seeing it , it’s been six months, it appearing every day,what is the reason for it and solution, please

Hi..where are you seeing moisture on tiles? In your tiled toilet/balcony/terrace? Wherever it is though the joints are epoxy filled, it must have debonded which is resulting in moisture percolating up. What is to be done is to identify the water source, arrest it and regrout the tile joint for a seamless bond..

Normal epoxy joint grouts available in the market are not UV stable. For sun exposed applications, you have to specifically ask for UV stable epoxy tile joint grout and only a handful of companies it like Kerakoll, Vura etc. What you have to do next is the get a tiling person, ask him to remove the filled nor nal epoxy from the tile gaps with a grinder blade carefully and fill UV stable epoxy grout in the full depth of the tile. This should resolve the issue.
