tiling slate wall tiles up to 6 metre high

[Rossonline1]

have got a chance of a jod that involves tiling onto gyproc around a staircase that rises to 6m of the initial floor level,just looking for some advice on what adhesive would be best to use,i know it would have to be mechanically restrained adhesive,thanks ross

will gyproc even hold the weight?

Yes you do need to mechanically fix the tiles as well as adhesive above 3 mtrs

all new to me, looks like it would take hours for each tile for me untill id done a few jobs lol

well sort of but that is an Oz site and limited to outside fixings but right idea where you fix though the joint.

You say gyproc, is that float and set plaster with solid block background, plasterboard on metal studs/wood

 

[Rossonline1]

its gyproc screwed on wooden studs with the joints taped and plastered,they are not fully plastered
