Tiling above an AGA

[jimbocam]

Hi,

I've got to tile ceramic tiles (130x130) onto plasterboard in the recess above an AGA.

I'll turn the AGA off while tiling but the AGA will be back on (continuously) after the grouting is finished.

Are there specific grouts and adhesives for areas that are always warm/hot?

You will probably need a flexible single part adhesive and grout for that. You could always give the adhesive supplier a call and see what they recommend as some standard adhesives might be ok providing it's always warm and it doesn't cool too often which would cause the shrinkage. Might be worth using flexi either way though.

yup play safe cause you dont want any call backs cause of addy or grout cracking
try the tech lines or use flexi gear

I have done loads behind aga's, i always use flexi and never had any trouble, i always tell customer to leave off for 48hrs to lets adhesive and grout dry naturally, and i always prime walls
