Tiling Plaster Walls Shower

The adhesive and tile will block moisture from evaporating.
Tiling plaster walls shower. The area around the bathtub shower is only tiled halfway up the wall. My house was built in 1925 it has plaster walls. Fresh plaster whether applied as a patch or to the entire wall must dry completely before tile is applied. Tiling over damp plaster causes the wall to fail because the plaster won t become strong if it can t dry out.
However tiling over tile can add quite a bit of thickness so make sure your wall can handle the weight. I d assumed he would cut out the wall and put in cement board or something. You may tile over existing tile painted or unpainted drywall plaster and textured walls. Cut away the grout surrounding the tile or tiles that you want to remove.
You should not tile over wallpaper glossy surfaces lead paint or plywood. Be careful to cut. Don t try to use the tile setting adhesive or drywall joint compound to patch plaster walls. Holes or cracked plaster requires patching.
Work slowly and at about a 45 degree angle.
