Doesnt make any difference the size of the tiles, a square metre of 6" tiles weighs the same as a square metre of 60 x 40 tiles, it is only the thickness of the tile that will make a difference. a metre square of area is a metre square of area. what weighs heavier a ton of steel or a ton feathers, same sinario
As DH says above, line with backer board, i think backer board takes up to 40 kg per square metre |

see if you had job where tiles used were too heavy for rendered wall and you needed to plasterboard to get extra kg/m2. surely you wouldn't rip off all render and board to brick-would you just have to live with extra thickness of plasterboard ontop of render? | | |
