Help, window out of plane / Bal adhesive

CR Not the answer I wanted, but its best to get it right before you fix the tiles. Back to my tile supplier.

Many thanks.

No problem.

You say the wall is stud work so I would advise you go for a flexible cement based adhesive.

Just one more thing how thick are these tiles and what substrate are you fixing to? is it plaster skim? there are weight issues to be taken in to account with certain heavy tiles

It would be helpful if you could weigh a tile

Sorry to throw something else in to the mix but it's best that these tiles stay on the wall i'm sure you'll agree

The substrate is plasterboard, not skimmed. I am doing two rooms, in one the tiles are 450 * 300 and the others are 600 * 300. The pack of the first tile weighs 28 kgs and holds 12 tiles, so they should be 2.33 kg each. The larger tiles are 26kgs for 8 tiles, 3.25 kg each.

The tiles came from different suppliers and both are adamant that the tub is OK. As you say, its bad enough fixing them, so we certainly want them to stay on the wall.

is it the internals round the window that is out or the wall ? if its just the internals rip off the old plasterboard and replace with new strips using wedges behind plasterboard to make sure it is level when you replace, or if you have space you can just put strips of new plasterboard over the old and either dot and dab or use the wedges to get it level before you start to tile.
