Hello one and all.....
Just measured up a job, bathroom walls 16sqmtr. The customer wanted me to 'cut out' exisiting tiles where there is about six tiles which make a pattern of a dolphin and replace with new tiles of same size and colour. I explained what may or may not happen to her wall if i cut through and the potential for having to replace the whole wall as a result (one wall is a stud partition, bath side) I suggested tiling over all of the exisiting tiles which she has now agreed to.
My question is, what are the weight restrictions of a stud wall. From what i remember from my tiling course you are only allowed a certain weight and also this weight dictates the adhesive type you use.
Anyone with any experience in tiling over tiles i would appreciate your views on this.
Cheers
