Hi!
I'm wanting to tile over the liquid limestone surrounding the pool. Can tiles be laid over liquid limestone? And what would your suggestions be regarding the pool coping?
Thank you!
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @Liv2. It's wonderful to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about tiling over liquid limestone.
Provided the surface is sound and one solid slab then tiling over it shouldn't be an issue. I'd recommend using Davco 20kg Ultraflex Ceramic Tile Adhesive and their Davco 5L Ultraprime Primer. If these are individual slabs as per the joint lines, then tiling over the joints would prove troublesome and would likely cause the tiles to crack.
The coping has a rather steep gradient, so tiling over it might be difficult. However, removing it would require filling the area so it is flush with the surrounding limestone. It might be worth removing one of the coping tiles to see what the surface level is like underneath them. Once they are removed, a bed of mortar can be used to raise the height.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
