That would be a nightmare to do, where will you be tiling to.

 

[cooper]

i would be tiling to bare brick

 

[White Room]

I mean what area, bathroom, kitchen etc

 

[cooper]

bathroom

 

[Andy Allen]

why dont you dot dab new plaster board on to the walls

 

[White Room]

As above, the brickwork would have be dead flat, which in most cases it is not.

i am only tiling half way up the walls,also going to tile the bathroom floor but the floorboards are uneven ,i was thinking about using 6mm ply would this be any good or should i uae aqua panel

 

[White Room]

6mm hardie backer boards but make there is no bounce on you existing floor

 

[cooper]

hi cooper,the preperaration of the room is very important,as above i would dot and dab the walls with plasterboard and drywall adhesive and also 6mm ply is too thin if the floors defelction free a 6mm cement board froma tile shop will do the job

have you tiled before cooper

 

[tilerjason]

tile backer boards or plaster board with tanking kit everyday for me, prep and prevention is most important

 

[cooper]
