weight advice

[davebates]

hi guys , went to quote a job earlier, customer has bought tiles form wickes when they showed me i thought they were heavy after weighing a m2 they come to 18kg what weight would you allow for adhesive and grout ? . Walls are skimmed by the way so its going to be close to the weight limit ??

cheers

Your just about on your limit, a couple of kg for adhesive and grout to add to the fixed weight.....

that confirms what i thought would you fix them or get them to change the tiles ??

many thanks

I just wonder why some people get the walls skimmed if they are being tiled on grrrrr.

Happens all the time, they don't know better and usually it's done before they ask for a tiling quote.

Likely whoever is fitting the boards looking for extra money too.

Use your own judgement

And go for it

You will more than likely be fine if it's been skimmed well. Weight guidelines will always have some play in them.
