Ceramic tiles on painted drywall
I am planning to install ceramic tiles in the bathroom glued to the drywall.
The drywall is painted with a couple of coats of "bathroom" latex paint (w/ fungicide) and it is in good shape. Any problem with the bonding of the tiles to the latex paint? TIA, Gene |

Ceramic tiles on painted drywall
This is one of those questions where there really is no exact answer.
The adhesive will stick to the paint. But there is no way to determine the long-term results of a new tile finish over a painted surface. The paint can peel, break down or otherwise come loose from the substrate and the tiles may will also come loose. A few things I take into consideration when tiling any area a 1. Weight of tiles on the drywall - I personally will not go moe than 3 feet high on drywall with any tile. If more than 3 feet, replace drywall with cement board. 2. Wet areas - if tile is being installed in an area where water is frequent - I use backerboard with a waterproof membrane (Kerdi system is great). |

The bond will be as strong as is the attachment of the paint to the drywall. -- dadiOH ____________________________ dadiOH's dandies v3.06... ....a help file of info about MP3s, recording from LP/cassette and tips & tricks on this and that.
