Tiling A Shower's Ceiling

[geraldine]

Think I'd listen to the tutor bloke on this one!

Thanks Martyn, I have written to them and I hope they will decide it is not worth it..... Keeping my fingers crossed.

What reason did the tutor give?

I'm surprised BAL have advised against it. They have window reveals set out to tile in all their training centres.

I suppose it's the small risk it hits somebody, whereas nobody's standing under the window reveal?

I thought BAL's reply was due to a legal issue possibly. If they give advice on tiling a ceiling they might then be sued if it goes pear-shaped as their adhesive might be blamed.
My tutor said movement in the house might cause a tile to become dislodged. In that regards, the shower room in the house in question is upstairs and there shouldn't be anything to cause vibrations from above.

What is the ceiling structure ?.. Not all can be tiled without strengthening/prep work.

I have told the clients that if they wanted to tile the ceiling they would have to fix some backer board first. I did emphasize the need for strength and stability of the substrate.

I'd use a Gypliner metal framed system, for your self perhaps have a word with a dry liner who does that kind of work.

Fastflex would probably be my choice of adhesive if it came to it. You could tile curtains with that stuff.
