I have been offered a job tiling the walls on an outside toilet . The walls are bare brick and the room is obviously subject to damp.Could anyone please advise on the best way to go about this job as i guess there are issues that i have no experience with... Help would be greatly appreciated Jason | ||||||||||

Jason,onto bare brickwork you remove any loose mortar,flake off loose brick faces and re point where needed.Prime all surfaces with acrylic primer and tile usung either BAL CTF 3,or BAL Gold Cem.Bal standard wide joint grout is fine for exterior use.Tiles for use outside should either be quarry type or porcelain as these will resist frost,porcelain is the best choice as there is a wider range of choice,hope this helps you....Gaz :wink_smile: | ||

If the walls are dry then a normal tanking system will suffice... and then tile as noramal with frost resistant adhesives / grout and tiles... If the walls are damp ,, then you will have to isolate this damp from transfering to the tiles etc.. but this a more difficult process as it can reduce the room size... there are various methods to use but a quick one is to screw aqua panels to the walls then tank the panels to prevent any damp penetrating through....but you can get away without tanking the panels if they are totaly impervious to water penetration..... good luck with your project.....dave... | |||

As Ive said before, Family are the worst customers. They want it to look a million dollars but only wanna pay about £30 all in!! Porcelain without doubt, dont let him get cheap end of line tiles, theyll be crappy thin ceramics and he'll be on the phone moaning that theyre cracking and falling off. Good luck. | ||||||||||

Cheers guys I mentioned the porcelain tiles to him and he hit the roof  Ihad to laugh. He wants to go to B+Q and buy their cheapest tiles and adhesives cos apparently it will do the same job and if they fall off they fall off! Ah the joys of family..... He probably wants it doin for free as well Jason | ||||||||||
