floor tiles on walls

[grahamster]

Hi guys been to see a customer today wanting floor tiles on the wall,they are ceramic 330X330 & 8.5mm thick,said it is ok,im going to use rapidset flexi and a 10mm trowel,can you jst confirm this is ok, or would i get away with a 6mm trowel.......cheers Graham

6mm might be pushing it a bit. Try it with 6mm and set a few tiles and see what coverage you get. You can always take 'em off and re-do with a bigger trowel.

Would have thought a 6mm trowel would be fine as long as you used bagged addy........

Personally i would use 8mm min......and use standard set cement based flexi....will be less wasted adhesive when doing walls , as they can be slower than floors...so you might lose adhesive using rapid set...

I sometimes use a kalm dahm 10mm if the walls ar,nt all that bright
