I have a situation with plywood walls. These have been tiled with 100 x 300 ceramic tiles, using BAL Greenstar. It has been grouted and finished for at least 4 months. The tiles are now coming off wall completely, full adhesive on back of tiles, none remaining on wall. Please bear in mind this is plywood walls. I had nothing to do with any of the preparation, but suspect that PVA may have been applied, as this has been mentioned on this job a fair bit. When i say the tiles are coming off, I mean literally the fully tiled wall is peeling away, the grout is not cracking. URGENT responses to this please. Many Thanks

Is the problem with the Greenstar ? Would a powdered adhesive stuck better, even if a sealer had been used ?

There are far more appropriate adhesives for tiling onto ply.

Ultimately the best practice is not to tile onto ply and overboard it/replace but when that isn't an option I wouldn't choose a tubbed adhesive.
