Tiling Weight limits
| Posted on April 15, 2014 at 10:48 AM |
Taken from The Tile Association The maximum weight of tiling which can be supported by a dry,
well-adhered plaster background is 20kg/m². This is equivalent to
ceramic tiles with a maximum thickness of 8mm plus tile adhesive or
natural stone tiles with a maximum thickness of 7mm plus tile adhesive
The weight of tiling to a plasterboard background direct
(without plaster skim) should not exceed 32kg/m². This is equivalent to a
ceramic tile and adhesive with a maximum thickness of 12.5mm and
natural stone and adhesive with a maximum thickness of 10mm.
It is important to emphasise that the weights quoted includes both the tile and adhesive.
Further advice should be sought either from the manufacturer,
regarding the suitability of the adhesives and grouts and also guidance
must be sought from board manufacturer regarding additional information
on recommended methods for the installation of boards.
The following table offers general guidance to some common
types of building board and the maximum recommended weights for tiling.
