Thistle bond-it on tiles

[Phoebe]

Hi all. Looking for advice on a job. Been asked to plaster a shop out which is currently tiles throughout. I'm thinking of thistle bondit over tiles then dot and dab 12.5mm board then skim. Just need to know if this is a safe option. Thankyou

Or frame and board it. ??

you can just pva and skim on tiles, providing there is no grease on the tiles.

Your havin a larf aren't ya? Bonding agent, tight coat of bonding or whatever it takes to get it flat then skim. Easy!

tiled walls are flat

tiled walls are flat

Always?! You've been spoilt.

ordinary pva wont cut it, you can get pva for tiles, cant remember which ones but the are some....odd to want to pva and then board, the multi purpose adhesive should hold it anyway, you could fix screws in it too for certain hold

Lets just hope that all the tiles are still well fixed?

If your going to board it screw lath over the tiles & into wall, screw board to lath, skim.

 

[Fatarm]

That's the way id go nisus:RpS_thumbup:

If your going to board it screw lath over the tiles & into wall, screw board to lath, skim.

It will be expensive with the belt and braces.

Screw rib lath , float and set ,100 percent safe.

Well the op was gonna bondit, then dab boards? Dont think frame and
Board would be more expensive??

 

[Nisus]

Why use thistle bond it or pva, you could Uni-finish straight over the tiles, it's only a shop :RpS_biggrin:

you have a point..

 

[Nisus]

You can Gripfill the boards onto the tiles but like fatarm says how solid are the tiles fixed on!
I think I'd just get some labourers to knock the tiles off then just skim it with UN.......I mean pva & multi :RpS_thumbup:
