Exceeding substrate weight limits.

because when I enquired I refused to give them finacial details.....and that was that as they say!

It is only to see which payment band you would fall in :lol: .... but a recommend from a fellow TTA member will help 🙂

What if the customer will not budge... would you go 2kg over ... I would if i was ok with the substrate prep..

I see what your doing here :lol:, to be fair i wouldn't nowadays, as i said to deano i made my cut off point and i stick to it. Maybe sometimes to my detriment but most people round my way are more than happy to go with it once you explain your reasons. Plus if you prep it it usually ends up flat, not builder flat

I would join just to get it more respectable in the industry.....but to be honest.......it has never stopped me earning a living and from what I have heard it dont help you make one!

not to knock it.........its all we have!

I once seen 15 mm thick granite stuck to a plastered wall with no apparent problems, one piece was actually on the ceiling section of a long alcove. I'm well aware of the reality of what can be achieved in real world. There are others factors that would dictate how much if at all you would want to breach the limits such as if the wall was plumb and if the bottom row of tiles where tiled on top of the floor tiles. We all take our chances but lets put it in to perspective and I hope no one uses the old extreme scenario here with babies having tiles fall on there head in the bath. We are sticking tiles not landing aeroplanes.

I have to admire your inflexibility but in my humble opinion it is OTT hardi backer has been tested and it will hold four ton but they set a limit of 100kg so with your inflexibility if the tile come in at 101kg you have to walk away.

I've gone over with porcelain but equally I've turned down stone onto newly plastered walls. Agreed, the BS is merely a guideline and there has to be a tolerance.

Ok ok.. let's say the weight was 20.5 kg ... would you tile it ? .. 🙂
