wall

A wall is a structure and a surface that defines an area; carries a load; provides security, shelter, or soundproofing; or, is decorative. There are many kinds of walls, including:

Walls in buildings that form a fundamental part of the superstructure or separate interior rooms, sometimes for fire safety
Glass walls (a wall in which the primary structure is made of glass; does not include openings within walls that have glass coverings: these are windows)
Border barriers between countries
Brick walls
Defensive walls in fortifications
Permanent, solid fences
Retaining walls, which hold back dirt, stone, water, or noise sound
Stone walls
Walls that protect from oceans (seawalls) or rivers (levees)

    UK Tiling a wall that isn’t flat.

    Hi, first time posting. I’m in the middle of tiling my own bathroom, first time having a go at it. After doing a half wall and the first wall of the corner shower I’ve made a few mistakes but figured it out as I’ve gone. Before starting the other shower wall I thought best to check the wall...

    Hi, I'm trying to assess what prep is needed on the walls for my kitchen backsplash. We'll be using a metro tile or longer rectangular tile (up to 300mm length) in brickbond and as the walls have some bow on one side and a fairly substantial runout on the other, I'm trying to workout what I...

    Gap between trim and wall

    Hi, I have an issue here. My tiler has left a gap between the trim and the wall. No doubt the wall wasn’t true. I have put some pics of this, but it’s hard to show well. The gap can be up to 6mm in places. Two questions: 1 is this common practice? I would have thought that walls were...

    Slightly unlevel wall, best way to get around it?!?

    Hi, so I’m relatively new to tiling. I’ve got a job where the walls aren’t 100% flat but not the worst. I’ve sealed the old plaster with a primer. Am I ok to dot and dab the tiles, I don’t mean 5 dots with 20% coverage, the dots I’d put on would get a minimum coverage of around a 70% adhesive...

    Do my wall tiles have water ingress? (Photos)

    I have started to notice a wet pattern look on my Porcelanosa Marmol Carrara Blanco bathroom wall tiles. I have looked at unfitted tiles and I do not believe the grey ‘wet’ looking patches to be a part of the design. Quite a lot of tiles display this pattern but not all. Also they are scattered...

    Crazy gap between shower metal frame and tiled wall

    Hello and thanks for your time. When the shower metal frame (that will hold the glass wall) is placed plumb along the tiled wall, you can see that the tiled wall is uneven. The top and bottom touches the tile wall but in the middle there is a huge 2cm gap between the metal and wall. Basically...

    Does aligning wall and floor grout lines use more tiles?

    Tiling my en-suite was part of a larger build project. The builder subcontracted the tiler who did an excellent job. However, the builder didn’t order enough tiles so the tiler had to come back for an extra day to finish. The builder is now trying to charge me for this extra day saying he ran...
