hi all,
So from my notes plaster can only take 20kg per m2 (including adhesive/grout).
I’m just about to tile a wet room and my issue is this:
I’ve had the room skimmed (it’s mostly a stud wall room with plasterboards, part of one wall is block). This same part block/ part stud wall had to be brought into line with bonding to square it up. On the thickest side the bonding is around 1 inch thick, on the thinnest side it’s about a 3mm skim.
Now the customer has just changed her tiles and wants 1200x600 porcelain tiles put up around the shower area (they’re 35.5kg per 1.44m2), one of the walls being the bonded wall. The rest of the walls are 10mm 150x400 ceramics.
Am I best fixing backer boards on all walls? My next issue is I have no idea where the studs are to fix the boards to.
Any help and advice would be great!!!!!
