Author: Journeyman Date: 5/21/2008 3:08 pm EDT Sorry! I managed to get my above post out of sequence, it belongs here as a response to Bob H and his comments. "The grout used by Avaire (tho noted to be flexible grout) IS NOT in fact flexible in the since that it will survive repeated movement and flexing between the tiles that is a result of a substrate that is out-of-tolerance. Elderly mobile homes are notorious for this type of situation. No grout will survive that punishment. Not even Star Quartz." |

Author: Bob H Date: 5/21/2008 6:32 am EDT Don't worry too much about the grout comment from Journeyman's reply - Avaire uses a patented urethane grout system that provides for the potential flexibility. |

Author: Journeyman Date: 5/20/2008 3:36 pm EDT I would say yes providing the floor structure will carry the weight of the tile and your subfloor thickness is suitable. Your floor still must meet the 1/4" in 10' requirement for flatness. If there is a lot of flex in an older mobile home floor I don't think I would use the tile because the demands on the grout would likely be out of limits. |

Mobile home use Author: Debbie Date: 5/20/2008 12:26 am EDT My husband and I have gutted our master bath and are unecided about the new floor. Can Avaire tile be used in a mobile home over a plywood floor? |
