favourite substrate ? - Tile Advice

[Dougs Third Go]

ok, as thread title suggests, we'll start with walls for this thread. My own personal substrate is sand/cement render, others may like plasterboard, cement board etc..

 

[Time's Ran Out]

Dot and dabbed plasterboard for tubbed adhesive and mosaic tiles.

 

[Qwerty]

Plasterboard for me

 

[Old Mod]

Flat one!

Then render done well.

 

[Ajax123]

Gypsol Anhydrite screed for me of course. The more the better

 

[MTiler]

Flat and plumb

 

[One Day]

Kerdiboard prepared by me, or sand and cement render by the best plasterer I know - Greg Marsh Greg Marsh Plastering | Contact Us - http://gregmarshplastering.co.uk/contact.html

 

[Dougs Third Go]

Flat and plumb

flat and plumb is a godsend Sharon

that's why I prefer render Marc, usually I do it myself so it's in my own interest to make sure it's flat and plumb, plus you don't have the vagaries of cups and crowns that you can get with timber stud walls.

 

[Spacey]

I love a nicely grinded Anhydrate floor primed and screeded with uzin 110
It's like laying on milk

 

[Blunt Tool]

Plasterboard but taped by me, and Wedi boards

 

[CJ]

Anything that is flat & dry

 

[NZ_Tiler]

Cement board on metal stud.

 

[Brian the Tile]

Plasterboard

Anything flat, Plumb and strong enough to take the weight needed, makes no odds to me otherwise
