Tiling on new plaster

**andyr28** · 15-05-2011

Hi,

I have bought some tiles which are porcelin 14.8x60. They weigh 22kg m2

.
Zamora Brown Wall and Floor Tile (14.8x60cm) | Topps Tiles
Tile-148x60cm.html

I am worried that I may not be able to use them on the plaster in my bathroom which is 3 week old mulitfinish.
Have I got a problem or with the right prep can they be ok?

Many Thanks

plaster holds 20 kg m2 this inc approx 4-5kg for the adhesive and grout. where plasterboard holds 32kg m2, obviously you not going to plasterboard after getting it skimmed. you need powder adhesive with tiles that size (good quality also) acrylic primer for the prep with fresh plaster. it will say how to prep on the bag also.
