Hello forum, can I install tiles (Agerlith, 15mm thick, 195x195mm (7.7x7.7 inches)) on my ground slab made of waterproof concrete after only three months? If yes, what should I consider?
I want to lay the tiles in a pattern with as narrow grout joints as possible, almost tight, using flexible adhesive with the buttering and floating method. However, the slab is only 3 months old. The concrete was also ground down, so it is flat and provides a good surface for bonding.
This is a double garage, measuring 6.50m x 8.50m (21.3ft x 27.9ft).

1. Can I already bond the tiles after three months of concrete drying?
2. Can I lay the tiles tightly in a pattern with minimal grout?
3. Are there any special considerations for the grout?
4. Should I plan for movement joints? If yes, how often in square meters?
5. Do you have any other tips or ideas?

Best regards,
