Been asked to tile a steam room, customer also want the ceiling tanked and tiled. The ceiling at the mo is skimmed plaster board,but can be altered, if it needs to. I have never been asked to tank and tile on to a ceiling and need to know if this is possible. Any advice will be appreciated.

turn the room upside down phil and when they are dry turn it right way up:lol:

use the suction method

The suction method??

back butter the tiles with a continuos bead of addy near the edge and press home excluding the air and creating a vacuum

Cheers mike. Would it be safer with a 2 part addy, rather than a spf ?

 

[mikethetile]

I dont think it would make a difference

Replace the plaster board with cement board..

what tiles you using.. some need mechanical fixings.

The ceiling can be reboarded no probs, He has not decided on tiles yet, but will be either ceramic, or pocelain.

try using BAL variset and you can have the set of the addy as fast as you like, almost!
