So, sitting here watching the pro's tile a bathroom on DIY SOS.

Warm up Wall boards fixed to the wall, good start. Then GREY FLOOR AND WALL POWDERED adhesive to stick tiles to the warm up boards and bare plaster and then grouted with white grout.

Was they on a budget or would you use grey adhesive with white tiles with white grout?

What do you guys say!

 

[John Benton]

I'm guessing they were ceramics. If you keep your joints clean as you go (so much easier when its wet!!!!) then you wouldn't know it was grey addy.

Yes 15x7.5 ceramic

R u sure u can tile over plaster with grey adhesive though?

 

[White Room]

As long as the plaster is primed like the white.....

 

[John Benton]

Prime 1st and then it should be fine, why spend more on the white when grey will do the job?

 

[Discount Tile Supplies]

Perhaps its me then! Will have to start fixing wall tiles with grey adhesive then.

It wasn't warm up boards, it was homelux tanking membrane, which is fixed with a cement based adhesive and the same used to affix tiles.

 

[andyb1]

as above if using homelux membrane, cement adhesive should be used saying that though he could of got white!
