Travertine (again!)

As above, you could overboard with cement boards or plasterboards (I would prefer cement boards) as for adhesives and sealers, do you have a Tile Giant near you?

Mapei: Tile Giant Store Finder...

If you go in to any of their stores, they will point you in the right direction regarding adhesives, grouts, primers, sealers and so on

Cheers Rich,

Rayleigh is 10 mins from me. Will pop in.

If I remember rightly Tile Giant had 600 x 400 tiles for £19.99 m2. Does anyone have experience with this product?

Cheers

Paul

Ok, look I'm not quite getting this,

Newly plastered walls are not ok.

But overboard with another layer of plasterboard or cement/no more ply and it is???

Doesn't that just about double the weight off wall?

And no mention of method of fixing here either, surely it has to be mechanical to bypass the skim/plaster weak link???????????????????????? Confused Brian

Yes it should be mechanically fixed. This will be the recommended technique of installing the cement boards, this info will be given to the customer when the purchase the boards (and screws that are sold with them) and will be in any literature relating to the boards. Nobody was recommending NOT screwing the boards back. Should have been clearer, sorry to confuse you.
