    Floor Tile Edging

    I am about to lay 600x300mm x 10mm thick tiles in a hallway. The end nearest the front door will have a full-width mat-well so the tiles will not go right to the wall. To avoid the possibility of the tile edges getting chipped I was reckoning on using some form of edging strip. I was going to...

    Attaching a small tile

    A quick question (I hope). I am tiling a shelf at the head end of the bath and would like to tile the end of it as well. This will be a single piece of tile probably no more than 75mm x 20mm attached to endgrain ply. Is normal tile adhesive going to be ok for this, I am using Weber.fix plus? Or...

    Tiling a Border

    Thanks, but I should have said, the position of tiles is determined by an opening which is above the border so needs to be done first to get everything line up. Hence tile above first, then below the mosaic line.

    Tiling a Border

    The time has come in my bathroom refurbishment to do the actual tiling. I have planned for a mosaic border at about 1m high and am trying to decide on the best way of doing this. My plan was to rip a batten the same width as the border plus the grout line top and bottom. Then screw this to the...

    Aquapanel and Eggbox Walls

    OK, you've convinced me. Tanking it is. I reckon it is about 4sq m. The wall behind the shower will be Aquapanel since it has proper studwork. Some people talk about tanking, other mention a membrane. Would something like Screwfix item number 78484 do or do I need some sort of full membrane system?

    Aquapanel and Eggbox Walls

    No technical reason but I already have the Aquapanel as a result of advice on these forums that it was a better solution than tanking. This, of course, was before I knew that it was not going to go on a normal stud wall.

    Aquapanel and Eggbox Walls

    Well, it would appear to be calle 'Paramount Board' and judging by what I have found so far it would appear to have the same weight handling characteristics as plasterboard when it comes to tiling. So that is good. But I need a waterproof backer and while I will get some holding ability with a...

    Aquapanel and Eggbox Walls

    Tiles are 400mm x 250mm ceramics. If the wall does not have the structural strength then I am wondering why the plumber mounted a boiler on it when the central heating was installed.

    Aquapanel and Eggbox Walls

    That is what was worrying me which is why I was thinking about a combination of Gripfix and screws into the plasterboard below.

    Aquapanel and Eggbox Walls

    Following recommendations on these forums I have gone for Aquapanel to line the walls around a bath that will have a shower over it. The intention was to replace the plasterboard with Aquapanel where necessary and add in extra noggins at the same time if necessary. However having removed the...

    Am I Planning this Right?

    Thanks for all your comments. Feeding them back into my design I think that what I am going to do is this: 1) Half a tile above the bath. 2) Move the border up half a tile so that it still come between two whole tiles vertically. 3) Move the alcove slightly to the left (about 35mm) so that...

    Am I Planning this Right?

    Agreed on the amount of tile but almost anything is going to mean that the border goes up and not down and will therefore meet the alcove. I am thinking that the border outside the alcove might look odd so will probably see what running it inside looks like. One of the advantages of Google...

    Am I Planning this Right?

    Thanks for the comments. The diagrams were done with the free Google Sketchup. I take the point about having a half row of tiles above the bath. If I did that I could move the border up above the next row which will make it 200mm higher (Tiles are 400mm x 250mm plain white) which I would like...

    Am I Planning this Right?

    Just about to embark on a bathroom refit which includes adding a shower. The current bath is spaced off the wall because it has the soil pipe running alongside it from the toilet next door. There is a shelf along the length of the bath. Works fine with just a bath and is quite convenient but...

    Tiling a false wall

    Thanks to you both. Are there any guidelines as to the area that is expected to get wet? Or to put it another way should I be using aquapanel for the whole wall or can I get away with only using it in the shower area? It does seem to be quite a bit more expensive than plasterboard but I don't...

    Tiling a false wall

    I am about to replace a bathroom. The bath has the soil pipe running alongside it so currently it is six inches away from the wall with a small shelf next to it. This is useful in its way but I want to add a shower over the bath and suspect that it will get covered in water. The plan therefore...
