wainscot over tile walls?
I'm thinking of remodelling my 1950s era bathroom and was looking for
some advice. All 4 walls are tiled 3/4 of the way, with drywall making up the balance. Behind the tile is some sort of (concrete?) backerboard .. Being somewhat lazy, I was wondering If I could just use Liquid Nails to put up some Wainscoting panels directly onto the existing wall tile. Barring that, do I need to demolish both the tile and the original backerboard or can I just stop with the wall tile? If I need to demolish all of it, I might as well put up new drywall in the entire room, but doing that would make this a bigger remodelling effort than I care to take on. Thanks for your advice folks. Happy Holidays Mitch |

Any caveats or tips you care to share about putting panelling directly over tile (surface prep, type of adhesive etc) would be much appreciated! |
