Tiling on wood


Ed21

Recommended Posts

Quick couple of questions :) 
 

If new wood has been water-sealed, would that stop any adhesion from tile adhesive?

 

And

If yes would the likes of BAL primer work on top of a sealer?

It's two chunks of 3x2 timber edge on built up to act as a spacer/batten to fix the frame of a shower cubicle to. 
Not got a lot of choice as the whole lot has already been fitted (not by me) with frame fixers.  


I was toying with the idea of using some plastic profiles to cover as the shower frame is white anyway, but
elderly relatives and they want it tiled to match the rest.

Tile directly on with a flexible adhesive

I've been using Dunlop CF24 Flexible Tile Adhesive, so that should do the job.

 

Any recommendations for a decent waterproof grout?

Not a fan of Mapei after a duff batch of adhesive caused no end of hassle plus £££'s.

I was planning to use Dunlop GX500 flexible grout, not used it before. 
Wondered if there was anything not so much waterproof, but more water resistant than others :)

Once upon a time all I used was plywood, but since BS 5385 Pt 1 AFAIK not even marine ply is ok :(

I'd be VERY happy to be proved I'm wrong as have a job coming up where marine ply would work much better than other options.

@Onoff what did you use to grout it to stop cracking?

 

Forever White silicone. In part as the complete bath end panel and one side panel can be removed for access.

so all those grout lines are actually grey silicone in those pics (or not yet filled)? 

 

Not yet filled. Now white silicone.
