tiling on plywood
One wall of my shower is onto a plywood sheet. Some of the tiles are
loose and I want to redo them. I think part of the problem may be that the plywood is too thin and flexes. I might replace with thicker material but what type of tile adhesive works best? I've used a flexible adhesive on wooden floors, but I'm not sure if this is suitable for walls. |

No matter how thick the adhesive you put on if the ply flexes then the tiles will become loose again. Is there enough space to put(screw/nonails)plasterboard over the plywood? -- Sir Benjamin Middlethwaite |

Ply should be at least 18mm thick. If not, it is not suitable. Use a good flexible adhesive. I would use BAL White Star for this application. Christian. |
