6.5thk 150x150 (147x147) bathroom wall tiles. Is there a specific size notch trowel for lighter tiles, what thickness finished adhesive thickness would it give? Just trying to get an idea what combined tile+adhesive thickness would be. Thank you

Hi All, Currently renovating an old wetroom. 1. Removed everything back to brick. Currently, Have stud battened the walls, insulated the spacing and am now ready to apply the tile backer board, however, before I apply the tile backer board. Should I cover the insulation and battens with a...

To help prevent panels dropping later, I was thinking of glueing aquapanels to the stud (additional to screwing & edge glueing panels with proprietary glue). Any thoughts? Panels to be supported on horiz. rail anyway, so just run some Gorilla up the stud before fixing them?

I have a stud going in at each end of a bath and was wondering what thickness Aquapanel on the stud would best? To tile over. What does primer (BAL etc) actually do? Does it go on both sides? And what glue would I use to fix the Aquepanel to the stud (plus screws), would Gorilla be ok? Thank you.

Just wondering, why whenever I've pulled off tiles in my homes does tile adhesive always look like the photo. Is this just how tileing was done back in the day? Does make it easy to take them off the wall.

Hi, We have a recessed window in the bathroom which has a trickle vent at the top of the recess ( please see attached photo). We will be fitting a tile backer board to the underside of the lintel ( top of recessed window). This then means that when the tiles are fixed they would cover the...

Rendered and skimmed wall, vinyl paint. What is the vest prep? It doesn't seem like a good surface to tile, maybe a good scoring with el diablo or a plasterers roughing out saw? Maybe bolster the skim off? What's the usual way to proceed? Thank you Dain
