[uug197h]

customer is not wanting the old tiles removed (10 x 15) they seem solid
and the want me to put 45 x 30's on what adhesive can i use if any???

* clean with suger soap
* rough up tiles with wire brush
* prime walls

any thing i have missed?

old tiles need to come off, thats alot of weight hanging on god knows what underneath

What room is it? If its a kitchen ( small area between bench and upper units then you can tile over (not far to fall if the weight is too much !!!) Then use class AA adhesive. Otherwise do as SC24 says, remove tiles. If you do tile on top of the tiles, remember to take off the recess tiles from the window, it just looks better.

i'd steer clear unless they are willing to remove, as sc says that's a lot of weight..have you felt the weight of 45x30s, thats what i'm working with now myself...you will also need to use bagged adhesive to be on the safe side..Mark.

I agree with above. Way too much weight, and as stated, whats behind original tiles.

Makes me laugh when you go to quotes like that. We want this, do it....LOL

IF you did HAVE to stick on them use BAL grip or similar. But really the weight of the new tiles could cause you problems in the future if not just the customer.

What are the tiles-ceramic or porcelain-if ceramic and you HAVE to go over them-use SONTEX ACRYLLIC -super adhesion to tiles-3 layers on certain showroom displays (gyproc wall) can't be wrong-if porcelain strip tiles and use cement based adhesive....

two walls plasterboard, two walls plaster. i have chiped some of the tiles they are a red colour may be Terracotta, Its a bathroom

 

[reaper72]

red is a common 'biscuit' on tiles mate,just the colour of clay used....
