As your existing plasterboard walls are painted, to save the hassle of removing paint, and faffing about with skirtings etc,l would overboard full height with 12mm plasterboard.
Could I overboard with 9mm plasterboard? What's the weight capability is it still 32kg or is that only for the 12.5mm

Basically I have a tiled floor in a toilet with skirting in place, as we were not sure if we were going to tile the walls or just wallpaper.
Now decided to tile the walls so I will remove the skirting, I just wanted to know how to get the tile to the correct thickness so it sits where the skirting ended.
Is it a case of thicker base of adhesive or am I best to board the walls to bring it out slightly before tiling?
The walls are painted plasterboard.
The tiles are roughly 9mm thick and the skirting roughly 20mm.

I was also wondering how to trim the top with the boxed edging do I just get a 20mm trim and then it's pressed back against the wall so it covers the tile and also the excess area behind it?
Thanks.
I have used these trims from genesis they work
