well sort of but that is an Oz site and limited to outside fixings but right idea where you fix though the joint.

You say gyproc, is that float and set plaster with solid block background, plasterboard on metal studs/wood

Re: tiling slate wall tiles up to 6 metre high
its gyproc screwed on wooden studs with the joints taped and plastered,they are not fully plastered
Re: tiling slate wall tiles up to 6 metre high
How much of the wall has a skim coat on the plasterboard
