Very occasional poster here (Hi Dave :wave and I'm sure this may have been covered so excuse my laziness for not searching more thoroughly but.....
Been asked to tile a couple of ensuites and a bathroom in travertine. One wall is D&D plasterboard, the other three are stud partitions with the PB screwed to the metal framework type of partition as opposed to timber.
It's a new build and what concerns me is that the walls have all been emulsioned. They are joint taped as opposed to skimmed.
Do the walls need any primer/prep before tiling?
Should the adhesive be tubbed or the same as is going on the floor ie rapid set floor tile adhesive?
And finally, these tiles are 600mm x 300mm. Should I be concerned about whether or not the PB walls can carry this weight?
