sloping walls

[postie]

Hi guys

What is the best way to tile a wall that is sloping like this ?the guys working on site said to just tile up the wall as normal my guess is i might have to back butter them but how thick can you go with tub gear i thought it was no more than 3 or 4 mm,and boarding out is out of the question too,

I'd tile it as is too. If you were to make every wall level and plumb then the ceiling and the floor you'd find your cuts will be easy but your room will be 6" smaller in every direction. So just tile it flat fella and do a good job of it with your cuts keeping them clean and smooth-looking overall. (continuous raked cuts)

It looks a nice flat wall to go at to be honest. Although not plumb. But are they ever?

the whole house is bad as are the other ones being built, the painter and decorators are peed of too having to do loads of filling in when putting the coving up.To make matters worse i am having to tile with those 13x9 inch tiles that are seconds they are warped and over and undersized ,i did the 2 shower cubicles and 3 sides of the bath but i was getting real problems trying to keep things flat infact it was just about impossible to do i was getting very depressed trying ,and it took double my time in fixing due to peeing about with levels and trying to get a desent grout line because of the different sizes TBH it really does deflate you and i doubted my own ability to tile. Anyway because of the tiles being so bad the plumber who got me the job was having problems keeping the shower unit flat to the wall but when i showed him the tiles i was using he could not believe it and got the owner round we both told him that these tiles are just no good and that he will have to replace them with desent tiles so no tiling today .

dont worry too much about the sloping walls as long as they are flat..will only be more noticeable if using mosaics etc......dave...
