[Cob] Clay tiles over earthen floors

[Etienne Carbonneau]

Hi Pavel,

Clay to fix the tiles works well ( I used local grey clay ). I also use 
clay with a bit of sand for the grout, sealed with oil.  Both technique 
works well for my floor  ( about 10 years old now ). Fun and healthy to 
work with...

Best regard


 >> 1. Clay tiles over earthen floors (Pavel Velikodvorsky)
Hello everyone! I have a subfloor made of cob and want to lay tiles over 
it. Does anyone have an experience on the matter? The first thing I 
thought I will pour some concrete sublayer over existing cobfloor, to 
leveling and straighten it. But then I've read Ziggi's ( 
theyearofmud.com) post on how he tiled his earthen floor using clay as 
adhesive. And I thought, maybe that is the way? What do yoy guys think? 
Basically, will it stay in place? :)
