BAL Quickset Render on uneven and damaged walls

[Fekin]

Update. Been back to the customers this evening, kitchen is near enough fully fitted now "joiner was just starting to fit it the other day when I went to measure up", that's why I couldn't prep the walls before it was fitted.

Customer is in a rush, as ever, and really wants mosaics instead of say square ceramics etc, but I've told her the walls cannot take mosaics as they are, even with filling the deep holes first as the whole splashback wall needs leveling out to take mosaics.

With new kitchen just been fitted she don't want anything messy doing to the walls now like plastering "wouldn't wait a few weeks anyway" so shes now thinking about me plasterboarding it out, but it will create a ridge obviously where the board runs under and past the wall units to wrap into the window.

That's why I was looking at some rapid setting render of some sorts, that I can buy locally to give me a decent back ground to tile too.

So bal rapid set sounds good, just have to find a stockist

hi adam.. jewsons will be able to get it for you....have you thought of recommending a mosaic effect tile..some are 300mm x 200mm in size and when grouted just look like mosaic sheets..but lot easier to fit.......dave....

I didn't actually, I'll call her tomorrow and tell her, cheers dave

Gaz, does your store stock many mosaic effect ceramics ?

 

[DHTiling]

Instead of plasterboard you could fix some 6mm backerboard, less of a ridge, just another option.

Is it a BAL product in paticular that your'e looking for?
Ardex AM100 is a very good product. Start by applying a skim / bonding coat of 2ml then you can apply upto 20ml in one go and its ready to receive tile after around 2 hours. You can also do a check on the ARDEX site to find your nearest stockist alternativley give me a call and i'll get some out to you (if you hav'nt already done job) we delivery many products nationwide.

Apologies for giving an answer thats already been said, Damn Iv'e gota remember to read every page and post instead of just the question , I 'm new to this tinternet lol
