Agree it isn't a valid way, but it isn't the best way. Trowling is still the far better method. To overcome the issues you are talking about to do with level you use a larger sized notched trowel this giving more adhesive material to cater for any wall/floor variations. AS3958 advises the following trowel size for given tile size as the best method. 200 x 200mm tiles – use a 8mm notched trowel 250 x 250mm tiles – use a 10mm notched trowel 300 x 300mm tiles – use a 12mm notched trowel 400 x 400mm and larger size tiles – use a 12mm notched trowel + back buttering of tile. Some adhesive makers recommend even large trowel sizes (18mm) for tiles over 500x500 So it can be done and gives far greater adhesion. Sorry mate I disagree! AS3958 is fine in a new well built bathroom BUT, In many older bathrooms walls can be well out of straight and level. I have seen my tiler have to pack tiles 40mm off the wall to get everything correct. This isn't a problem with 200x200 tiles, but no one uses them these days. In Sydney the vast majority of people are putting 600x300 tiles on the walls, a 12mm notched trowel will not cut it with walls this far out and tiles this size! I have seen a wall 30mm out of level top to bottom and also have a 40mm bow from side to side. If you try and use a notched trowel and 600x300mm tiles on a wall like this you will have a very poor lippy job! Horses for courses.
