Tiling large wall


Pocster

Recommended Posts

SWMBO wants a tiled wall inside running the full height of the stair well .

About 3m wide and 6m high . So this runs from the dungeon up to the ceiling at ground floor .

I’ve got to build / board a wall to take the tiles . But what should I use ? . No need for protection from damp/water . SWMBO wants some small tiles ( so probably need a billion of them ) . Rather than tile adhesive could I stick them on with ct1 ? . But stick to what ? Osb ?

OSB will be perfect for this, i would use tile adhesive as its cheaper and easier to cover a large area.

I just thought it would be quicker with ct 1 . Blob on tile , stick - repeat x 1000000

Wasn’t sure if tile adhesive would take to osb ...

 

So this type of thing

I presume I can place them tight to each so no grouting ! ?

Yes, no need to grout if decorative only

Don’t use CT1, just use solvent based no nails type adhesive at £1.50 a tube if you are doing it onto OSB.

Not what I would be using. You want something solvent based that goes off quick so it bonds and doesn’t come off. CT1 isn’t the answer there. 

Ok ! Noted ! Ct1 not the bad boy here ?
