brick

Hi. I have some plasterboards stuck to the wall. Pretty solid. However, I need to just add maybe 4-6 screws each board into the wall to further secure. How best do I do this? I tried a drill and screw with plug but no good. Do I need a special type of plug or screw? Thanks

Whats best place to get real brick slips? Tried CTD, Topps, Tile Giant and Jewson and no one does them. Could get them online but prefer to see them first. Thanks

Had a customer contact me a month or so ago, listed building, want old looking brick floor. They have found and bought some brick's cut into slips from eastern Europe, look ok, so gave a price to fix, grout and seal. They didn't know what colour grout to go with so did a sample board, but the...

Hi, I would welcome some advice as I have got myself into a pickle. I planned to attach brick slips to a bonded coat in my kitchen however have realised that they will be too heavy to be directly attached so am now considering attaching a cement based back board but am not sure how to fix it...

Hi All, Just been laying a floor 600x300 porcelain, not sure where the tiles came from but boxes were very old and at first glance although quite thin, didn't appear bowed. Having leveled floor and layed first couple of rows and started to notice slight lipage in the place on attached drawing...

Hello, I'm renovating my house which recently purchased, bathroom is currently back to brick as the old pb came off with the tiles. So we are going to dot dab it and use appropriate pb. Does this have to be waterproof pb all over the bathroom, or just the shower area? Also, does waterproof...

Hi Guys, I've popped over from the plumbing forum. I'll be doing a bit of tiling in a bathroom for a friend of mine and he wants his wall tiles to set out in a vertical brick bond fashion. I've done a fair amount of tiling but have never had to do a vertical brick bond. My normal fashion is to...

Hi,would appreciate your opinions on what wall substrate would be the best to tile to in an upcoming new from scratch installation.Two sides are back to bare brick and the other two sides will be a stud construction,not sure what size tile but will most probably be 8mm ceramic,i'm quite tight...
