Tile Market - Preparation
Preparing the surface properly before you start is vital and a perfectly flat surface is required.
Hints:
- New plaster should be left for 4 weeks and be totally dry before you begin tiling
- You can tile on to plasterboard providing it is well supported and is at least 12.5mm thick
- On painted surfaces, it is important to check the adhesion between the paint and the surface to which it has been applied and between any substrate and basic structure. Any flaking paint should be removed and cracks should be filled in with a filler. The surface to be tiled should be smooth, clean and free from dust dirt and grease.
