| Tiling onto foil backed Plasterboard | | Hi, just got my 1st proper job but need some advice. It is a bathroom with the walls being lined with foil backed Plasterboard all over. Will these boards need to be primed with acrylic primer and then tiled onto or do i need to put up normal plasterboard. I'm worried that the tiles won't stick to the foil backing.
My apologies if this is a daft question. | | |

| Re: Tiling onto foil backed Plasterboard | | Just got off the phone to them. They were advised that it was the right way but they're going to sort it out. I ain't touching it 'till it's fixed. | | |
