How to tile over painted walls
Any suggestions on how to tile a painted wall? It's in a kitchen,
painted in semi-gloss. How about if I just scratch up the wall surface really well: can I then use thinset directly on the wall? Replies from those with actual experience setting tile especially appreciated. -- Just as McDonald's is where you go when you're hungry but don't really care about the quality of your food, Wikipedia is where you go when you're curious but don't really care about the quality of your knowledge. - Matthew White's WikiWatch (http://users.erols.com/mwhite28/wikiwoo.htm) |
How to tile over painted walls
I find adhesive fine for walls, especially in kitchens where there is no
water spray as you get in a shower. I only use thinset for shower areas and where I have to match other levels where I have used thinset. The adhesive will work fine on semigloss if you sand the surface to add a little tooth for the glue to stick to. "David Nebenzahl" wrote in message s.com...

Some thinsets say that they are suitable for use on paint I believe. Bob |

Get some Sherwin Williams Lox ON. clean your walls real good, spray,
roll whatever the Lox On, on. Mastic over it. Bob F wrote: "David Nebenzahl" wrote in message s.com... Any suggestions on how to tile a painted wall? It's in a kitchen, painted in semi-gloss.

There's even a thinset for bonding tile to unscarified formica. Just make sure that the thinset you choose says that it will bond to painted walls and that it is appropriate for the moisture level that it will see, and you'll be fine. I recommend NOT using other adhesives. My home builder did that and the tiles are falling off the walls :-( BRW |

My usual advice is go to a tile store. That is one where tile is he only business. Tell them what you want to do and buy what they recommend. Charlie |
