Hi guys just a couple of quick questions is it ok to tile straight onto plaster board walls.

Tiling onto plasterboard youtube.

As its a nice flat surface spread the adhesive onto the wall with a notched trowel then just apply the tiles with firm but steady pressure and use spacers i normally get a 2x1 batten and tack it to the wall 1 tile and 2 spacing a high from the work top then tile from that upwards when dry remove the batten and tile down to the worktop then grout but leave the last tile space to allow sealant in. It should be a minimum 12 5mm thick when fixed to timber framing or battening and fixed in accordance with the manufacturers recommendations. Here you go you will learn something from this video. Diy doctor gets many emails saying that pva should not be used on walls before they are tiled.

Sealing walls with pva is a very much misunderstood operation. Part 2 shows how to apply bal waterproofing tank. Tiling onto plasterboard walls. Part 1 of this video shows how to fit a sealux joint seal on a shower wall and ledge of shower tray or bath.

Tanking a shower area is always a good idea as water eventually gets behind tiles causing the plasterboard to perish. Iv just bought a big tub of tiling adhesive for the job also when your tiling into a corner and need to cut that last tile in half do u start the next wall with the remainig tile or do you use a new tile.
