back

The human back, also called the dorsum, is the large posterior area of the human body, rising from the top of the buttocks to the back of the neck. It is the surface of the body opposite from the chest and the abdomen. The vertebral column runs the length of the back and creates a central area of recession. The breadth of the back is created by the shoulders at the top and the pelvis at the bottom.
Back pain is a common medical condition, generally benign in origin.

    UK Hi everybody, Dan here, I'm back now

    I'll cut to the chase, I've had some lung out (that's for another more private thread in the usual place) so been poorly. But I'm back now. First thing I need to sort are those pesky ads. A lot of companies from our industry seem to be advertising on TilersForums.com via Google Adwords, it...

    Hello everyone, Recently, I found that tile adhesive does stick to the wall, but does not stick to the back of the stoneware tile (30x60 cm)in my bathroom. The weird thing is that the same brand adhesive has no problem of sticking to other 30x60cm stoneware tile in other places. So, I am...

    Tiling onto backing plaster, skim coat, or strip back and board?

    Hi all, first post here - total novice in need of advice. I’m retiling a shower room and removing the old tiles has taken the smooth plaster surface with them leaving what I assume is backing plaster. This is sound and level other than a few gouges. This wall is the opposite end to the shower so...

    Splash back tiling question

    Good morning all, I plan to do a tiled splashback for my kitchen. I was wondering whether the tiles should go under the wall unit end panels that border the hob and top box area which would involve scribing the panel to the tiles or butt up to them? Also should the tiles run up to the bottom...

    Back Skimming

    When back skimming 650 x 450 porcelain floor tiles used with levelling clips, do I use the notched side or smooth side of the trowel? If the smooth part how thick does it need to be?
