600 by 300 porcelain tiles on painted walls sealing with pva

[cass]

Went to look at a job the other day i have mentioned it in another thread,someone i know wanted there bathroom tiled in 300by 600 porcalain tiles i advised him that the tiles are to heavy as his walls are brick with skim.I told him maybe he should think about a smaller tile but that was the ones he wanted and dident want to take them back.I also advised him he would have have to dot and dab walls and secure with fixings so it could take weight.yhe thing is he has a freind who is a joiner and freind who is a plumber,they said i was talking absolute rubbish and told him not to deal with me they advised him to pva the painted walls and tile straight on to it,could any of you pro tilers out there explain the risks of doing this as i am going to e mail the threads to him any input would be much areciated.

p.v.a?
painted walls?

what substrate do you think you are tiling onto?
because if you think a layer of p.v.a can hold 600x 300mm porcelain tiles then i think 99.5% of people on here will disagree

I think he was being ironic


Cass, there are hundreds of threads on here that highlight your point, if you do a search then just enter the threads, copy and paste the links in to an email and send away mate

Cass don't do it mate, recipe for disaster imo. Tell the joiner/plumber to butt out, clowns
