no the tiles have too smooth of a finish and other tile will not stick to them need to remove old tiles and then lay new
you have to remove paint n rough the surface then put some cement slurry n paste the tile by cement
Chances of breaking the tiles are about 99% sure, taking tiles off are very difficult and trying to put them back on again is not easy as the tile cement will still be attached to the old tile and trying to chip the old cement off will result in breaking the tile however if you dont and put the tiles back it will result in a lumpy tiling finish. Doc says: Doc says that if you are trying to replace an existing shower valve without tearing out your tile wall then you should check out versi-shower.com. They sell shower units that mount to your existing tile and covers the area necessary to remove or bypass the old valve. Good product and cheaper than busting up your wall. -Doc
If it is going to be a wall that isn't going to get much contact with water you realy don't have to do anything to it. But if it is a shower wall you need to put up dura rock. I also recommend putting tar paper up behind the rock.
Yes, you can put rug over ceramic tile.
Showers in NY State have to be a minimum of 900 sq. in. (30 x 30). If the shower is on a base you can measure the center. If a shower base is going to be made of tile you can put the drain anywhere as long as the tile base pitches to the drain. I've put them inches from walls. At least center it in the other direction so it looks nice.
You have to put a cement board like Hardibacker, Wonderboard or Durock over the ceramic tile.
can tile be placed over river rock
cut out a pictures a big as a tile that you want. put it on the tile use a see through substinse to glue it on.let it dry and you have a picture for your wall. ; )
First you have to add a staircase. then you must press the "move up floor" button then put a wall around the second floor on top of the first floor wall. then you place in floor tile. You might have to put in floor tile before the wall. You can always change the kind of floor tile later. I hope i helped.
yes just prep your your tile with ardex
The difference is a tile finisher preps the floor/wall or any thing that the tile is going to be put on and a tile setter is the man or woman that sets the tile in place wear they need to be...just a quick basic run down .!
Metal showers tend to flex a bit; this could break the bond of the adhesive . If you did get the tiles to stick. i feel they would not stay put for long. My advice is don't do it.
