    Default Tiling Onto Plasterboard And Solid Wall - Do I Need A Flexible Adhesive?

    Most of the bathroom walls are new plasterboard, hardibacker in the shower enclosure and one solid skimmed wall. Tile size is 250*300.

    Do I need a flexible adhesive? I'm planning on using Weber Plus (yellow/grey bag) which is not a flexible adhesive. Grout is Mapei Ultracolour.

    Will the above be suitable? Or should I really be using Weber SPF (yellow/blue bag) adhesive?

    Weber set plus is a modified adhesive and will suffice for your intended use...

    A single part flexible, don't use webber so can't comment but prime the skimmed wall, any tanking on the cards for the shower area.

    What do you mean by "modified" and why would you choose a modified adhesive vs a flexible one?

    Shower will be tanked with a Weber tanking kit.
