CTD - Gemini Young Stone

[AliGage]

Just in the middle of pricing a job to convert a rather large bathroom into a bathroom and en-suite.

My (potential) customer wants Gemini Young Stone (600x300) which i believe weighs about 5kg a tile? (5.5 tiles per square metre)

Basically, just wanted to ask you guys if any of you have fixed these before and if their weight is ok on new 12.5mm plasterboard walls. No skim as i'll be boarding out fresh. Or whould i be pricing for hardie instead?

Cheers in advance guys and girls.

Used them quite a few times... i would fix them to plasterboard.. and i wouldn't say they were 5kg a tile either..

One of the sales staff in my local CTD said a box of 5 was weighing in at 23kg. There heavy tiles but agreed i wouldn't of thought 5kg a tile.

But anyway, as long as they're ok to go on plasterboard, makes my quote a touch cheaper. Thanks Dave.
