load weights

[DHTiling]

Probably 50mm stud and it needs more screws...I seen 15mm boards used to make it more rigid.

we have over boarded before.. 2 x layers of 12.5mm , gives an inch of support.. usually works.

Tiled Walls
Position fasteners between 10mm and 16mm from the
edge of the sheets at the correct spacing to carry the
loads of the tiles.
For walls with tiles 6.5mm thick or 12.5 kg/m2 or less,
space fasteners at 200mm maximum centres on the
intermediate studs and at 150mm on internal and
external corners, butt joints and around openings.
Where tiles are greater than 6.5mm thick or 32 kg/m2,
space all fasteners at 100mm maximum spacing, in the
centre of sheets, on internal and external corners, butt
joints and around openings
Tile adhesive should be compatible with the
waterproofing membrane.

This metal stud walls have sole plate/ceiling plate and then vertical studs at 900mm centres.. no intermittent noggings.. so how can one fix other than to the studs..?

The walls are really springy and over boarding is sometimes the only way to make them rigid.. but again not always possible... maybe on a private domestic job the boarding can be removed and the walls structure strengthened but on a site like the OP has, he just has to tile it..

it isn't a case of standards have a long way to go, it is the building practices that need to be when fully tiling is to be installed and these are again different world wide..

900 centres,jesus,i thought 600 centres were bad enough

Was meaning that the screws should be in the tiled areas at max 200 centers up the studs (metal or timber) not like norm one at the top one at the bottom and maybe one in the center.900 centers is stupid

Sure is, proper springy walls.

On the 50mm metal stud work it should be 600mm centres...
