Large tile adhesive

[ChrisL]

We are putting 2 large tiles behind our reflex stove more for aesthetic but wondered if others had any recommendations on flexible glue for bonding these to the walls 

thanks in advance 👍

CT1  or  high temp silicone.

They must be flippin' massive! 

 

If you are using those trendy floor tiles that are about 30" square I'd suggest you don't bond them at all. Use mirror clips or similar to hold them in position.

I'm with MtB, fixing rather than adhesive and possibly a small airgap between the tile and the surface as they're going to get hot.

If you do glue would it onto wood?

The Reflex is a convection stove so will not push out heat like a multi fuel stove so the rear tiles won’t get as hot as you think. 
 

I think the CT1 should do the job, I’m going to put a stainless angle plate at bottom/fixed behind the tile to support the tile weight

I’ll look into these with using CT1

30 inches square is paving slab not a tile, let know if it works. I have stainless steel round mine, safe but doesn't retain any residual heat overnight.

CT-1, Stixall, Sticks like Sh*t, etc. all available from Screwfix and Toolstation and all much of a muchness. Don't attempt to use it like tile adhesive all over the back of the slab. Just use blobs in the corners, halfway along the sides, in the centre, etc.
