Hi all,customer has bought tiles from PORCELENOSA,1 METRE LONG 33 WIDE.any advice on securing them to the wall any tips as they are so big.The bathroom wall is concrete block,the idea is that stud work is fixed to the block work marine ply on the stud work then the bath then tile,the stud work is to be 1 metre above the bath and the length of the bath,they want the studwork so that it makes a shelf of at least 5-6 inches,any advice on making the timber work that depth and what adhesive and grout

just saw a job today with those exact tiles up , look stunning when put up nice , not done them myself but presume you must look to be using backer board on those walls mate and get them as level as poss,
And used some of porcelanosa grout today Butech its called , not bad stuff work really well so can vouch for that at least

these are ones that I did, Porselanosa, 1000 x 330, used single part flexible adhesive on primed plasterboard

cheers guys what size spacers i thought 2 mm

2mm or 3mm will be fine with these,i would probably opt for 3 due to the size of them

Personaly would'nt want ply on the wall, plasterboard or hardie board
