Can A Skimmed Plaster Board Wall Support This Tile?

You still get find for 35mph in a 30mph zone!
I'am sure the limits are there to protect people.
Of course we've all got away with it but that's no reason not to respect it.

most of the time when im tiling the tiles are from a bath or shower tray or floor the walls are usually vertical so the pressure of the weight is vertical and the weight is supported on something . I must admit that the majority of my jobs are not onto skimmed walls which we are talking about.
if your concerned about weight you could put a row of L brackets above your tiles mechanically fix them to your walls and hang your tiles on them weight problem solved lol have used them in the past to support tiles above windows
used to use L brackets when I did slabbing in the past. have a idea any one know a dragon to lend me some money

iv seen 100kg tile

I seen that too
I seen a peanut stand
And heard a rubber band
I seen a needle that winked its eye

But I've been, done, seen about everything
When I see a elephant fly! Hehe

ok this is were you have to question the honesty of the tile manafactors who surplie the uk its just to easy to put on the box of tiles coming to the uk but they would sell less and cant blame you for fixing them .think about it

There is a lot of talk of weight limits on here for sure, and I'm sure it is British standards but I think it is a bit Ott. Perhaps if you were fixing to a skimmed ceiling but as said before, on a wall, the weight isn't really pulling on the plaster as such. Have you ever stuck a big tile on to a plastered wall and tried to pull it off, it's not about to fall off
