Hi. Which adhesive should I use?

[carpetman]

Hi, I have bought some 30cm x 40cm x 9mm ceramic tiles for our bathroom. What adhesive should I use?

 

[Deleted member 9966]

are the tiles for wall or floor carpetman?

 

[carpetman]

They are for a wall.

You'll need to tell us what the wall is built from, will it be used as a shower etc.

 

[carpetman]

2 walls are aquapanelled and will be used for a shower unit. The other two walls will be plastered or plasterboarded (we haven't decided yet which would be best!)

Hi and welcome... I would use a cement based adhesive.. something like Mapei P9..

Don't get the plasterboard walls plastered if your going tile over them...

powder

As above, cement based adhesive, and don't waste money having the walls skimmed if boarded, just tile directly over it.

Hi everyone! Thanks very much for the info, really helpful. Not done much tiling before and was very apprehensive about using these large tiles (didn't want them slipping, or falling off the wall!) Feel more confident now.....I think! Thanks again.
